HAVE YOU TRIED BEING A FLOWER TO THE OTHER
We were born, we lived among arrogant nations (…there is no nation without arrogance), and again - it seems - we will die in them. Second-hand, let's be a little more polite, we have become familiar objects of second-hand thoughts. We produced pain, tears, work and effort for the familiar decisions of familiar people.
As if the mind existed for us not to live, but to keep life semi-open. If the morality of nature does not lie to us, everything; It should be like water, natural, the way it should be.
Our relationship with the planet should be multifaceted and democratic, due to the integrity of existence of all beings with other beings. Not everything that exists could be independent of this necessary relationship. But the education we received and the morality we learned did not say so; As a necessary condition of nationalism, the unity of the earth had to be disrupted. And so it happened…
Thus, life turned into a punishment that we had to suffer throughout our lives. In this vein, we created revolutions, made speeches, composed anthems, and waved flags. We were made to fear something/someone. Thus, our fear became our most deadly enemy. Is this a bad joke or trick? If this is a game, why are we always someone's stunt double?
There is definitely a crime; So who is the culprit? If they say, "Criminal, stand up", I know no one will stand up. I learned that; "When it's everyone's fault, it's actually nobody's." "Well, we took advantage of nature by selling its body; What did we give him in return? How is this different from incest? On the other hand, we wished ourselves bright, beautiful days as dipped in golden water…
If I try to continue like this : I understand (my word is of course to the human being), that you want your heart to bloom. Well, have you ever tried to be a flower to the other person?
On the other hand, we are under the threat of a domineering objectivity! When I think about this circus of democracy, one feels like saying, "It's late, all my energy is gone" at the first light of the morning. A new kind of "leadership of conscience" has emerged; such as being on the side of the king and leaning on the state... The gate of democracy, known as a gate that cannot be entered without permission, has turned into a roadside inn. However, it was shown to us as a door that could be entered by being free from all kinds of excesses... Every day, they send out an invitation to their bigoted, sexist, nationalist "heaven". An effort to deliver democracy speeches accompanied by chants of "Takbir". If they see someone different from them, they attempt to lynch them. If they put me in the same place as these "democracy lovers", I would probably shout "help, save me from them".
Building a democracy in the architecture of two-faced liars; It finds its echo in immature, uncooked, raw consciousness, like eye-catching plazas, roads and bridges.
Mashallah!
Good luck!
Hopefully!
