The freedom paradox

In the highlight of the Turkish election, there is one very important question we need to ask ourselves.

What makes us what to support autocratic rulers?

Does knowing that someone with an absolute power “protecting us” make us feel safe?

Or is there a real democracy and is our choice really worth something?

Many leaders want us to believe that voting is important. That vote actually matters.

But what if it doesn’t matter? What if all the things we vote for go to the same people but with different faces and names?

We have done many things in the name of our fate. We fly into the sky; we went to the moon; we invented unimaginable wonders.

So maybe having a fate and believing in the impossible is the only way to go.

 

Even if that impossible is the democracy itself.

New year preparations

 I stopped preparing for things since August this year. I decided to go with the flow. With no plans for the New Year, today I received an invitation to a party. Seems like not having any plan was the best plan in the end.

The last post

 This is the final post of 2023. I plan to take a break now. I wish you happy celebrations of 2024 and may next year bring us more joy and prosperity and focus on the most important things.
