While on one hand, the ceasefire has ended in Gaza and Israel has restarted its attacks, on the other hand, ISIS has arrived to Erbil, Obama has given permission to the US army and the airstrikes has started. There is a fire in Syria. Iraq is even worse. In Ukraine, guns are blasting. Three of them are at the verge of being divided. The status of Libya and Egypt is obvious. What will we think? Most importantly, how we will think? Because the main question is this: Who will be Turkey''s captain in this storm? ...
As we had tried to state in another of our articles, what the ones, who are pursuing a perception from the core like a fan of a club, are proposing, in the name of a solution for the ones, who have been pulled to poles with the force of a magnet ascribes meaning'' in the happenings, is obvious. Thank god that we have foreign affairs personnel, which don''t'' rely on these ''dangerous'' or on the contrary ''let the sleeping dogs lie'' type of prescriptions. The personnel, who are far away from the feelings of molestation, can evaluate ''common'', ''different'', ''contrary'' and ''contradictory'' aspects with different paradigms when approaching an issue, is inside the crab basket in the Middle East from time to time, can develop fast and make mistakes with quite different new developments. Since its obvious that our Southern borders cannot be protected with a rulership, which does not put his hand under the stone and talks as it likes with the language of opposition party, then I wonder what does my ''limitless irresponsible liberal'' friends think about TSK (Turkish Armed Forces), which has an absolute place in various alternative scenarios.
Do you think that there would any changes in the wholesaler mentality''s, which evaluates TSK from the perspective of an intellectual living in Denmark and almost equalizes the army with the ''guardianship'' word, view on military service?
While I was answering the questions of Cüneyt Özdemir as his guest on the 5N1K TV show, when I pointed out the necessity of restoring the honor of our army, the positioning of TSK and the fact that everyone, the Chief Commander being in the first place - in other words the President - should act attentively, one of the comments on Twitter (which was one of the ''clean'' libelous tweets that were being received through the entire program) was as follows:
"Our Army is being battered'' chant was the favorite of Kemalists; as of now, it is the favorite of the AKP-supporters, which took over the watch. The recent example is Ali Saydam'' (Ferdan Ergut)
I wonder, from which one of the ''common'', ''different'', ''contrary'' and ''contradictory'' aspects of the problem, which we mentioned above, would this detection have been percolated?
While looking at the ''contrary'' is easy, thinking about is really difficult.
Who has a ''B'' and even ''C'' Scenario?
The game theory has only one objective. Preparing different scenarios according to various possibilities. This is a condition that is necessary for the design of the future!... In other words, ''If this does not happen, then that; if that doesn''t happen, then this!''… If you don''t have a B or even C scenario and if you are unable to produce the perception that you are prepared for the future by reflecting this on your target crowds, then you''ll have your work cut out for you.
Which candidates and parties have substitute scenarios for August 11? We don''t have to overthink. Only two candidates have. What the Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and Selahattin Demirtas will do in A, B and C post-elections options is already known.
As for CHP, it is giving the impression of burning one''s boats like Tarik Bin Ziyad. It''s almost sure that if Mr. Ekmel fails in the elections, he will head back to a retirement process. After all, he already stated that he didn''t like politics. Then is there anyone who knows the scenarios of CHP? The only known scenario is that the opponents, who are waiting together behind cover, will charge a violent attack after a serious defeat…
In addition, there are recent announcements, which underline the lack of scenario and will cause the creation of frustration. ''I''ll win this in the first round with 60%'' (Mr. Ekmel), ''Prime Minister won''t win in the first round'' (Mr. Kemal), ''Mr. Ekmel will win in the first round with 55%'' (Izmir Provincial Chairman Ali Engin)....
The frustration will be as severe as the expectation.
''There is nothing new on the Western Front'' is Eric Maria Remarque''s famous work…
''Thinking is a hard task''
Whenever I join a TV program, that takes a clear position against the government, and try to make a present situation analysis by only relying on data, presumably it must be because of the ''Yeni Safak writer'' inscription that I am being exposed to the verbal violence of the ''amigo crew'', whom had experienced a stoppage in their thought circuits, on Twitter.
Thank god we are not taking this entertaining environment, where Mr. Ekmel''s result will be victorious in the election with 68% had shown up, seriously, because we don''t see any reason to do so. If someone goes beyond the limit (3 inattentive in the past 5 years), I''m waiting for them to deliver these to justice and call me during the judiciary process. At that phase, all three of them knocked on our door to apologize. Not in a digital environment. Hand-written apologies somewhat like, ''I did it, please don''t you do it as well!''… I had forgiven them in the condition that they cover the attorney and process fees…
In this field, the judiciary path maybe is working slowly but surely effectively. When you come to the door with police search warrant, white flags are shown. When our friends encounter the price for ''shooting artillery from Fistikli'', the cheap heroism gives its place to a tamed kitty…
Of course, you can support a party from the core of your heart, similar to how you support a football team; individuals can be loved or with similar methods. Like the feelings felt by people against FB, GS or BJK, you can showdown against the side whose point of views are not liked or you can put someone, who is not congenial, into his place.
When our brain, mind, intelligence comes into action, the chance to exploit our ''control'' mechanism occurs and maybe we will be protected thanks to this chance; also maybe our ''living and being respected'' desire, which is our most essential requirement, will be contributed.
Today''s world, by bringing the communication, being one of the essential indicators of our living and being respected requirement, into the middle of our lives almost as an imposition, is coinciding thinking and the ability to speak in the ''benefit oriented'' platform. (We should think of the ''benefit'' or ''interest'' in this meeting, not by its negative meaning, but rather within an innocent and practical frame like survival or the ability to live.)
When you bring mind''s world and feeling together in the ''communication'' block for a natural objective like ''survival and the ability to live while being respected'', then from then on you would be accepting an ''agreement process'' in action that exceeds you but is completely related with you.
Communication is the embodiment of this process or rather all of the processes.
The deceased Halit Refig used to say that ''Thinking is a difficult task''. Indeed, even observing a small reality from different aspects and evaluating it, protecting ourselves against the ''realization tract''s inflammation'', and, of course, constantly keeping the minimum required sparkle of intelligence is quite an inconvenient effort.
That''s that, thinking is a difficult task…. May god protect us from, as Ziya Pasha says, ''the alliance of the helpless''…
