Master’S Metaphor - 5
Turkey- The approximately 250-year-old cyclical continental earthquake storms that have occurred in the south-east of our country since the past few weeks have unfortunately been very destructive and have caused tens of thousands of casualties and material damage of more than a hundred billion dollars. In his holy books, the Creator makes many praises to mankind on earth and refers to his superiority over other living things as a special species. Again, in the holy books, which are the words of the creator, he mentions many great sins and commands many times to use his mind (thinking, analyzing, using science and technology ), which is the greatest gift bestowed on man. Despite all these warnings, human beings are in a fierce struggle with excessive and uncontrolled thoughts and emotions in every moment they live. A few of them are; Satiation versus greed, Superstitions and dogma against positive science and technology, Rights and Justice against cunning and illegality, Honesty versus falsehood and distorted perceptions, Selfish Power and greed to rule, against common reason and shared management, Fatalism versus being vigilant and prepared for worst-case scenarios Wisdom versus ignorance The list goes on… In the last century, in the dizzyingly developing world of technology and engineering, material life has been tried to be developed in every aspect, but almost nothing has been done for the benefit of psychological, mental and spiritual lives. The subjective world of us individuals remains as disordered and irregular as it was in the age of the cavemen. In our age, we all have important duties in the struggle to be virtuous people. We all stand in the face of evil; We must own our feelings, ideas, dreams and passions. Everyone has a desire to change for the better, to be better, to leave the world a little bit better than what we found it. At this point, we must work hard every day of our lives without getting tired and giving up; In a sense, this effort; is to row tirelessly until our last breath against a strong current. To swim towards the source of the river without giving up, even though the current is strong towards the sea. It is to bravely face to face with the giant waves that will break on the beaches. To walk straight with one's face to the harsh, cold wind. While everything is changing with daily currents, it is to protect your own ideas like the north star. Nurturing high feelings and virtues while everyone tends to lower passions. To maintain virtue while everyone praises mistakes and faults. To reach the compass of the universal rhythm among the stars.
