The Creature Called as Human Being

Nedense düşünmek yerine hep bir lider peşinden koşmayı yeğliyoruz. Kimimiz ortak akıl diyoruz bir yandan, ama diğer yandan da lider olmazsa olmaz diyoruz. Acaba bu da mı doğamız gereği? Yani hep bir lider arayışı içinde olmamız doğamızdan mı kaynaklanıyor?

Yes, we say human beings, the difference between us and the creatures around us is that we have a consciousness. 

We understand, we do what we do with a consciousness. 

Otherwise we would be no different from that mouse, wolf, sheep or cat. 

For those who say, what do you equate us with, I can call you a lion, a ram if you like.

Does it make a difference to you? 

"My ram, how much I missed you."

"My lion, good for you."

Is that okay now?

***

When we remove the characteristics of being human, there is nothing left, only animal instincts.

We are all just a part of the chain in the phenomenon called life.

Without human emotions, the creature called man will feed, breed and defecate. That's all. 

But it will no longer be able to harm its surroundings in such a way. He won't be able to build huge structures of concrete and steel. He won't be able to read and write.

There will probably be love, though. 

I recently saw on the internet how a monkey loved its baby. It seemed so human.

Have you ever seen a kitten? It's just born, its eyes are closed.

How much a kitten looks like a mouse.

Do you know that male cats eat newborn kittens? They think it's a mouse.

That's why the female cat carries her kittens around, hiding them in a secluded corner.

***

This is probably what we would be like if we didn't have the qualities of being human.

Everyone is afraid, everyone is afraid of what they will face tomorrow when they leave this world. 

What if they burn me in fire? You know the torment of hell, torment means pain, torment.

Have your feet ever gone numb?

You know when you sit somewhere for a long time and when you want to get up, your foot doesn't listen to you. You cannot feel your foot. Sometimes I would get up in the morning and I wouldn't feel my arm if I had lain on it.

You try to take a step, for some reason it doesn't work, the foot feels like something meaningless as you try to step on it. 

You can't even keep your balance. You have to hold on immediately to avoid falling somewhere.

Then a tingling comes and you start to feel your foot a little. 

What a bad feeling that tingling moment is. I hate it.

Maybe that's how it will be. 

Maybe you won't feel anything? 

Even if they burn you with fire, you won't feel a thing. 

Isn't it possible?

"My humble body will surely one day turn to dust, but the Republic of Turkey will remain forever!"

***

But one feels everything in this world.

Not only humans, but all living things have a certain sense of feeling.

You must like documentaries. Everyone loves documentaries.

Have you ever watched lions being hunted, recorded with sound?

Have you ever heard how that buffalo, or maybe African cattle, makes a sound when several lions attack?

How it hurts when that lion bites its leg, how it screams.

I once saw a calf that had been disemboweled while still alive, its internal organs scattered all over the place, being bitten alive by hyenas. 

Can you feel what it is like to have a piece of meat ripped out of you alive?

***

This is what I think hell is, this is the torment of hell. It is the pain that is suffered alive.

This is the law of nature, especially if you are talking about wild nature, this is how Allah has established this order. That lion has to be fed so that it can feed its cub.

That is why those cattle live in herds. 

Even if a hyena snatches one of their cubs, the herd continues its life.

This is their nature.

***

What about our nature?

Is our nature like that buffalo's struggle for survival? 

Or is it as savage as those lions attacking the buffalo to feed themselves?

What do you think the nature of this creature we call human is like?

***

For example, can we say that we live in herds?

We have built cities, huge cities. 

This means that we also have the herd characteristic in our nature.

And then, okay, we think, but how far do we think?

For some reason, we always prefer to run after a leader instead of thinking. 

Some of us say common sense on the one hand, but on the other hand we say that a leader is a must.

I wonder if this is also our nature? In other words, is it our nature to always be in search of a leader? 

From this point of view, what is it that distinguishes us from other living beings?

Could it be our world of belief! 

Yes, I think this is the difference.

We believe that our self will exist after death. No other creature thinks like that. 

Anyway, no other creature thinks like that except us. 

Could this be true? 

Or do they think?

I don't remember myself as another living being, so believe me, I don't know the answer to that question. Maybe they can think. I would even say that I think they are thinking.

But I know that thinking is a very difficult activity even for us humans. 

Sometimes I get a headache when I start thinking too much about something.

Maybe that's why you follow a leader?

No need to think, whatever he says is right. Just do it!

After all, if he is a leader, he can't do me wrong. Is he going to lie to me?

"There are videos with those in Qandil, but they are montages, but this, but that," he says in a TV interview.

He shows the fake videos at rallies. He comments on them. 

And people applaud. They believe what he shows.

But that's okay, he's a leader, right? Is he going to lie? What's in it for him to lie? Is the seat that important?

Besides, we are all mortal in this world. There's also the afterlife, burning in hell.

Above all, there is the right of servitude!

I look at what's in my pocket. So what if they call me a whirligig. I got 2,831,208 votes. Is there anything more?

I'll make my bargain, I just need to find a suitable position for myself. 

I said I would not leave Turkish nationalists without a candidate, I kept my promise. I said we had 30% potential, you gave me 5%. Am I to blame now?

If you had given me the votes, I would have made it to the second round. But you didn't. 

What more do you want from me? The rest is a story. 

***

Now I just need a piece of meat from the calf. 

He's in pain, he's bellowing!

If it's bellowing, it's bellowing. 

So what? I'm hungry, my friend, and I need to eat. That's the nature of it. 

It's not like we're going to burn in hell. If I'm going to burn, then those who show montage videos are all going to burn. 

Those who know that those videos are montages and applaud them should think for themselves since they are already following them.

Anyway, maybe there is no such place as hell, how do you know? Has anyone been there and come back? 

***

Believe me, the creature called human sometimes makes me ashamed to be human. It makes me sick to my stomach.

Nevertheless, let me end this article today with my love and respect to everyone from Moscow.
