A person's ritual is work, no matter what!

Competition in the political arena seems to be quite intense these days.

On the one hand, if there is no vote, there is no service, I have the power, if you do not vote for me, I will prevent work from being done, I will not get work done, those who threaten anyone...

On the other hand, it is a DEM debate that continues...

Do you want those who say they won't let you through the municipality gate, or those who want to fix the situation by saying "what did you do or say?" There are even those who say this and say they should find another party.

Of course, let's not forget those who make jokes about these being DEM'ed.

Shouldn't they have named the party DEM?

Or was this name a cute advertisement mixed with humor?

Look, I'm confused again!

Anyway, I have great respect for all the voters who voted for this party, but if it were me, I would also see that the strings of the party are being held from outside, and that's why I wouldn't vote for this party with ethnic ambitions. Voters know what to do, it doesn't concern me.

Then, political blunders are also on the agenda these days. Inexperienced politicians have appeared around. Some people make a new mistake every day.

Of course, let's not forget the dances, it is an excitement, it is a dance competition.

From the outside, it seems like we've become a pretty fun country.

However, they are all worried about votes, no matter what I do, how I can get the votes of the voters!

That's the only problem!

***

And of course, there is the refugee problem, although it is not brought up much these days.

Until yesterday, those who said they do not want refugees in my city were actually bringing this up as a political discourse. I don't know if they really thought so. Those who say such things are not very vocal these days, at least this discourse is no longer fueled by our esteemed press.

Even the parties that have made this situation their party policy do not voice the refugee problem that loudly.

Because I think the small tradesmen who can employ refugees very cheaply are very happy with the situation. A complete system of exploitation has been established.

Refugees cannot speak out against this capitalist order, they work silently in whatever jobs they can find.

***

Before I forget, there is also the "you are a coward" debate, let me remind you of that.

Meral Hanım brought this discussion to the agenda with the concern that İYİ Party, which was removed from the agenda for a long time because they said that we, as a party, will stand on our own feet, were afraid of fulfilling the favor of the nation and did not become a candidate.

When there were so many resignations, Ms. Meral from the party tried to put this issue on the agenda as if there was no other issue, it was talked about a little, but this discussion died down immediately.

In short, when it comes to elections, the place is full of politicians who make moves below the belt.

When the elections came, people forgot all their problems, we only watch political discussions everywhere.

I can say that even the economy was off the agenda up to a point.

Even the events that broke our hearts until yesterday are off the agenda.

Even sad issues such as the earthquake, the wars around us, and the disaster in Erzincan immediately fell off the agenda.

I would like to remind you that those nine lives in Erzincan are still buried under the ground.

You know this, right?

They were buried alive and went underground.

Their bodies will probably never be taken out from under the ground.

***

No, this article is not a political article.

At least, I won't discuss who is right and who is wrong today.

Everyone has their own opinion on these issues anyway, and there is not much time left for the elections. Everyone should decide for themselves who they think is right.

We will wait and see together, it will be clear soon whether he is a good man or a good man, it is all about the work, one does not care about one's words.

Election results show what the nation thinks, and the election results will soon show who the politicians believe and who they do not believe.

My mind is mostly concerned with recent human behavior.

Look, most recently, a very civilized-looking lady, after a traffic accident caused by her underage son, left the injured people at the scene of the accident, left them there, and kidnapped her son abroad.

Moreover, they took the mobile phone that one of the injured people gave them to call my father with them and did not inform anyone, mother and son.

What they are doing is truly cruel!

Maybe that's why the deceased died in the accident, I don't know, maybe he could have been saved if he had been taken to the hospital!

No one knows whether he died at the time of the accident or whether he died later.

This incident hurt me even more.

***

We are truly rotting as a society.

I would like to say that there are a lot of people who do not have their share of humanity, but I don't even have the language to say human, let me say that there are living organisms in society and it is as if there is no such thing as humanity anymore in our society.

I have been living abroad for a long time, but I have also visited a lot of places in Turkey.

When you travel to so many places, you have to meet a lot of people.

Moreover, as a matter of profession, we come into contact with many local people.

There were problems in the past, but not like this, at least not at this level of deterioration in society.

Weren't there situations in the past that surprised me a lot?

There were, but as I said, people weren't that insensitive.

However, I still think we were not a good society on some issues back then.

***

In this sense, let me tell you about something I realized at a very young age.

Unfortunately, back then, people treated you as they saw fit.

Especially the people of the east were closer to this idea.

For example, if you were a bank manager who had just arrived in the city, let's say you were appointed to a city in the east, everyone would be in a frenzy around you just because Mr. Amanda, the manager, had arrived in those first days.

I don't know, for example, you are going to move your belongings to your new house, right? Someone would hold them from one end and you would easily settle into your home.

Management staff in banks are appointed like teachers or some state staff if they want to be promoted.

What advantage do bank managers have in small places?

After all, you are a bank manager, it has credit, it has commercial benefits, it has a lot of financial opportunities that you can provide to the tradesmen, so the tradesmen of the city would not spare any help they could, especially from a bank manager newly appointed to the city.

However, when the same people learned that you were transferred to another city, they would immediately turn away.

From now on, you had to do your own work; on that first day, those around you wouldn't even look at you.

You could barely find someone to even carry the belongings in your home.

I learned this truth at a very young age!

***

This fact has not changed yet, for some reason people immediately turn away when their work is done.

Actually, I think this is generally the case in the business world.

Even in our profession, those who until yesterday said, "Oh, my chief, my great chief," do not even bother to call back once their work is finished. Callers call to see if there is a job.

Of course, everyone has a thousand different things to do on a daily basis, but isn't it still a break at least once every forty years?

But no, he doesn't call. He only calls if he has a job to do, if he has an expectation from you.

I am used to it.

Even I don't call almost everyone like I used to.

Of course, there are exceptions to this behavior, but rest assured, there are only a handful of exceptions.

When I say this, is there anyone among you who can say no, you are wrong?

***

In this sense, the examples I gave at the beginning are issues that need to be analyzed with the same logic.

Our politicians talk the way it suits them.

They sing a folk song based on whatever discourse will bring votes according to the conditions of the day, and they are just running after votes. They have no other problems.

The facts are that whatever I can get from the voters' point of view will be the profit of the day and will be a valid point of view, and from the politicians' point of view, whoever we can deceive will be the valid point of view as electoral success.

The rest is nonsense.

Are these the high society values we want to live in as a society?

How did we become such a society?

How will we escape this decay?

No, I think it will be very difficult to get better after this point.

Moreover, it is quite ironic that this situation has been reached by a government that has primarily emphasized the Islamic view for all these years. Neither religious values nor republican values benefited society.

The government is still pushing to transform society, but unfortunately they don't know that this has nothing to do with religion.

The issue is about human nature.

Human beings do not hesitate to exploit anyone, no matter who they are, if they get the chance.

They say that those who catch honey should lick their fingers, but now the situation is even worse in our country. Those who have the opportunity to put their fingers into the honey, those who stand close to the honey, are diving in handfuls.

We are in complete social decay.

***

Are there any sincere politicians among them?

Are they all bad?

There is! There are very few!

Just as there are sincere people in society, there are also sincere people among politicians.

Think about yourself, how sincere are you?

Do you ever wonder how your next-door neighbor or an old friend is doing?

When was the last time you called an old acquaintance and asked how they were doing?

You talk to people around you during the day, and you also have good friends at the coffee shop. Maybe you have acquaintances from the mosque community that you see regularly.

But please be sincere, how many decent people are really left around you? Who can you really trust anymore?

Depending on the answers to these questions, you can make your own guess as to how many politicians are sincere.

So many pessimistic things have been coming to my mind lately. Being so pessimistic is not a good thing either. I need to clear my mind a bit.

Is it best for me to open a cheerful old TV series on the internet and watch it?

It seems like old Türkiye was more beautiful. However, that old Türkiye is a thing of the past. There is now a brand new Turkey, and who will govern the new Turkey depends on the decision of you, the esteemed voters.

For some reason, even more strange feelings come over me when I say this.

***

Anyway, what was the name of that series?

There was a cheerful TV series once upon a time, let me look on the internet, I'll find it now.

Okay, I found it, “Troublesome Sister-in-Law”.

The best thing to do these days is to watch TV series.
