Pretended Freedom

 How are we free in a literal sense? Is it possible to say that I am an independent person and I am free? I do not think so. Even feeling free is a refreshing feeling, How could we have freedom? If the responsibility for everything we do depends on us, we cannot be free from the consequences of the decisions we make. Since each action affects the next, the path we choose follows the footsteps of our previous decision. This means that we have limited ourselves at some point. How many of us can decide with a 100 percent understanding of our society's expectations? To listen to your inner voice, you first need to be alone with yourself. But you have a family in your brain that talks before you make a decision, there are promises you made to your childhood, and there are expectations of your loved ones. Have you ever gotten rid of these and focused only on what you want? In my opinion, it is not right to say that our brains are free without being free from the pressure of society and patriarchy. Even our personality is affected by our environment when we are young and we cannot choose it. It is possible to change, but first, we must accept that we are affected by external factors. Even though this denial process may make you feel bad as if it has cost you years, a fault confessed is half-redressed.

A Confession

       I heard that  the sense of belonging was discussed  a lot during this period, so my mask  was gradually falling away . My fellows started to realize me since I could not find enough strength to hide my bleeding. My wounds were bleeding  clearly  every time. I was laughingly denying it while making people watch this wound that I couldn't stop bleeding. I'm the happiest. Could you please shut up? I'm asking, can't we talk about being a little bit of everywhere and being completely nowhere? My dear friends, won't we say both death  farewells  and moving farewells again? Now  I  don't hesitate to say goodbye. I'm sorry, pure and delicate souls, to whom I bid farewell whenever I thought of them. I'm not in me. I wanted to love, but I  was not made  to love. I didn't become evil, I was made evil. Time became my prisoner , highways  became my home. I said goodbye to everyone , I  didn't solve the p...

The Human Paradox: Strength, Weakness, and the Undefined

More than an angel or a devil.    Man has always been created in pairs. He has two faces, seemingly more dangerous than a devil because the devil has only one face. That is why his life is spent always searching for his other half, be careful that our soul is drawn to whatever is missing (of course, this is a completely different topic). Man is complicated. He has an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other. Even if there is no devil or angel, this potential always exists. So much so that in many holy books, man has this potential, his sins are written on one side and his good deeds on the other. Can we know the limits of evil or good? Isn't it even more terrifying not to know this? What separates us from the devil or the angel is that we have a piece of both. The middle, that is, purgatory. Staying in purgatory is the greatest pain. Thus, man cannot define himself. The absence of clear definition fosters a profound sense of dislocation, as one struggles to find a p...

How does the human soul get ill-tempered?

    Not being able to take root makes a person angry. The answer to this question is quite simple. Being not understood also can make a person angry.  When  your all  vicissitudes with your agony are belittled by your  loved ones, humans can turn into an animal which has no control.  The people who enter our lives, especially at our turning points, should understand you if they  have an expectation  to be loved. Making extra explanations for the people who take root in your heart is a pointless effort for humans. And then, this struggle turns you into an impotent beast.  Even though talking is not  a  hard   exercise  for human action, explaining ourselves can consume our soul.  Just a glimpse should explain everything that burns you because it is not impossible for such a complex creature.  We are born to be loved,  to feel, to understand, and to  die.   Till  death, we should disco...
