Don’t take it too serious!
Don’t take it too seriously!
I don't share, but I write from time to time.Why do I write? I don't intend to be a writer or anything like that. Mine is completely boredom and the anxiousness to create! I recently read Gülse Birsel's book , and wow, humor is truly alive; I must have been influenced by it. What was going on in my mind, my desire to write, suddenly flooded my brain this morning when I opened my eyes, like a rain of words. And without even washing my face, I closed the toilet lid, sat on it, and quickly wrote these down. The rain fell quickly, so I'm not sure if my fingers could keep up.
Yesterday, on the Lex Fridman show on YouTube, Elon Musk was speaking, and he was looking for the meaning of life by who implanting a chip into someone! I too have been searching for it for a long time , the meaning of life not the chip! In fact, look, it even says so on my social media. , I am not Elon but certainly have a brain and experiences too. Now, these high-IQ, mortal dudes who think they rule the world will have the AI solve the meaning of life,of which our poor little brains cannot comprehend. When that day comes and the AI solve this, won't they tell us, "You won't understand, we solved it, but it's very complex, so don't worry about it too much! Well, naturally, you created those guys, but the student surpassed the teacher.
Buddha doesn't say "destroy your egos" for nothing. For in my opinion, the bane of the world is the Ego, which dares to even imply itself. Ego is the mafia. Wants to take over everyone and everything. The father of all the good deeds done, all the inventions, and even the universe you created for yourself is Ego. So,we can call it a kind of Marlon Brando!
Now imagine, one day God is sitting there, saying everything is so boring, let me see my own image, how beautiful I am, how special I am, and he goes into an egotistical crisis.He blows up Big Ben, let electrons, protons, neutrons, subatomic particles, etc. scatter around, and let let the festival begin. Of course, the dude made a small calculation error and createsd the creature called a human, thinking, "Let's see what happens," and adds a bit of ego into it. Who would have thought that from the ego he sprinkled like salt, Trumps, Hitlers, Saddams... (you fill in the blanks) would emerge? What intention what destiny !Naturally, he sees that things are getting out of control, so he sends a few people to take charge and restore order, sending his wise friends. They say, "Be careful, don't get carried away by this ego, or else it will end badly..." But that ship is already sailed! I think afterwards, God gets bored with this game, gets up from the table, and the universe is left to fend for itself 😂
Original in Turkish;
Çok da şeytmemek lazım
Paylaşmıyorum ama zaman zaman yazıyorum.Neden yazıyorum? Yok niyetim öyle yazar mazar olmak değil. Benimkisi tamamen can sıkıntısı ve üretme kaygısı! Yakın zamanda Gülse Birselin kitabını okudum, yaa mizah candır gerçekten, ondan etkilendim herhalde. Kafamda olan biten, yazma isteğim bir anda bu sabah gözümü açınca adeta bir yağmur gibi yağan kelimeler halinde beynime doluşuverdi. Ve yüzümü bile yıkamadan tuvaletin kapağını kapattım ,üzerine oturdum bunları yazıverdim. Yağmur hızlı yağdı zaar parmaklarım yetişebildi mi emin değilim.
Dün Youtube da Lex Fridman show da Elon (Yılan- Güzin’in deyimi ile ,laf aramızda yakıştı bu isim)Musk konuşuyordu, abi chip takmış birisine hayatın anlamını arıyormuş. Ben de a keza çoktandır arıyorum. Hatta bakınız sosyal medyamda bile öyle yazar. Haşa bir Yılan olamam ama bizim de var elbet bir beynimiz , deneyimleriniz . Şimdi bu yüksek IQ lu ve dünyaya hükmettiklerini sanan ölümlü amcalar, bizim zavallı minyon beyinlerimizin algılayamadığı hayatın manasını AI abilere çözdüreceklermiş. O gün gelip AI abiler bu işi çözünce bize demeyecekler mi “siz anlamazsınız biz çözdük ama çok komplex siz çok da şeytmeyin” diye. E haliyle sen yarattın o abileri ama boynuz kulağı geçti. Boşuna demiyor Buda egoları yok edin diye. Zira kanımca dünyanın başına bela, kendi kendini dahi ima etmeye dahi cürret edebilecek Egodur. Ego bir mafia dır. Herkesi ve herşeyi ele geçirmek ister. Yapılan iyiliklerin, tüm icatların ve yarattığın kainatın bile babası Egodur. Yani bir tür Marlon Brando!
Şimdi düşünün Tanrı bir gün oturuyor , diyor ki her şey çok sıkıcı , kendi suretimi göreyim , ne kadar güzelim, ne kadar özelim diye egosal bir krize giriyor.Patlatıyor Bigbeni saçılsın ortalığa elektron, protonlar, nötronlar , atom altı parçacıklar vs başlasın bir şenlik. Tabii amca ufak bir hesap hatası yapıp bir de insan denen mahlukatı yaratıp e bakalım ne olacak diye içine şu ego dan biraz atıyım diyor. Kim derdi ki tuz gibi üzerine serptiği egodan Yılanlar, Trumplar, Hitlerler, Saddamlar…….(siz doldurun) çıksın. Neye niyet neye kısmet. Haliyle bakıyor ki iş kontrolden çıkıyor bir kaç kişi yollayıp da ortalığı zapta rapta alıyım diyor yolluyor bilge arkadaşları. Onlar diyor ki aman dikkat bu egoya kapılmayın yoksa işin sonu b... Ama nerde atı alan Bağdatı geçmiş. Bence sonrasında Tanrı bu oyundan sıkılıp masadan kalkıyor ve evren kendi başına kalıveriyor 😂
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
Blog Post Title Two
There are a lot of things to write about. It's not easy; there are 55 full years behind. I've always wanted to write, but I don't find myself patient enough to craft fiction stories or deep enough to pontificate on any topic.As you know, we Turks become experts very easily. I noticed this more after I started living in Canada. We Turks (of course, with some exceptions) quickly declare ourselves experts in everything. We love to think we know everything and sell it to others. In fact, we are so certain that we become attached to what we think we know to the point of belief, and we reach a state where we would start a neighborhood fight over it. We have a strange arrogance, not justified at all. To claim to have enough knowledge to write and speak about a topic, one must conduct thorough research, examine its nuances, and scrutinize its details, etc. But we seem to be a bit lazy for this depth.It's a matter of nature, as the saying goes these days. We don't really like depth; we don't enjoy obsessively picking apart a topic, we are a type that gets bored quickly, like a monkey with a short attention span. Maybe it comes from our nomadic roots, or perhaps the bounties offered by our geography have made us a type that is not too burdened, hedonistic, and ostentatious. Anyway, I shouldn't delve too deep, I might get overwhelmed, God forbid!
What did I say, my purpose for writing is just boredom. Of course, our friend Ego has an influence too; he has infected everyone, including me.
Now, I don't know if all these writings will be liked or if they will be published one day, but I know that I have a lot of fun while writing them.(How quickly I became a writer, we are indeed a very talented nation:))
We were talking about the meaning of life, you know, Elon Musk and I are searching for together, perhaps meaning of life is to create. Didn't God embark on the same journey with the same purpose?
It's certain that I've been tearing myself apart to create and produce since I was very young! For example, I used to write plays when I was a child. When the kids, cousins, etc., gathered at my grandmother's house, a sheet would be stretched out immediately, the play would have already been written, the roles assigned, and the stage set. The audience is seated and Voila!!!Since those days, the thing I enjoy the most in everything I do is creating! A fickle-minded creator! I'm the epitome of a monkey in this regard, and I've been very, very angry with myself in recent years! I remained a monkey and never evolved into a human. The gist is this: I never delved deeply into any subject, just floated on the surface, thinking, "Oh, how nice, I can both swim and sunbathe." However, for example, I admire scientists. At one time, I had a Physics teacher named Mr. Ataman at MEF tutoring center; we were showing our university preferences around that time.I'm the type who loves physics but doesn't like math; God knows how can I do physics without math? But I'm good at physics (both in terms of grades and looks -same word in Turkish-:))But the choices were Department of Tourism, Management, and so on, two-year programs directly focused on money and capital, and of course, being an Özal child, we would eat cake! ( a joke about Turkish Prime minister at that time) Professor Ataman frowned and said, "Where is Physics? “I will never forget that.Physics left my life until I turned 50. Then I noticed it came back in my 50s, since I was searching for meaning of life! I noticed that the surface of the water was getting monotonous, harmful in the sun, in terms of maintaining our physique, so I thought I'd dive deeper. A love for physics and philosophy came over me.Anyway, this topic is obviously deep, so I won't get into it now; I just dip in and out as it is needed!
Original in Turkish:
Çok birikmiş yazacaklar. Kolay değil dolu dolu bir 55 yıl var geride. Hep yazmak istedim ama kendimi böyle hikayeler kurgulayacak kadar sabırlı veya her hangi bir konuda ahkam kesecek kadar derinlikli bulmuyorum.Malum biz Türk insanı çok kolay eksper oluverir. Bunu Kanada’da yaşamaya başladıktan sonra daha da çok farkettim. Biz Türkler (tabii istisnalar hariç) her konuda kendimizi çok hızlı eksper ilan ederiz. Bayılırız her şeyi bildiğimizi zannetmeye ve bunları satmaya. Hatta o kadar eminizdir ki bu bildiğimizi sandığımız şeye inanç boyutunda bağlanıp, bu yolda mahalle kavgası çıkaracak kıvama geliveririz. Garip bir ukalalığımız vardır bizim, içi boş. Bir konuda yazacak ve konuşacak kadar bilgi sahibi olduğunu iddia etmek için ince ince araştırmak, eğrisini doğrusunu irdelemek vs vs. gerekir. Ama biz bu derinlik için biraz tembeliz sanki.Son dönemde ki favori deyimle fıtrat meselesi. Derinlik pek sevmeyiz , kafayı kırıp bir konunun cılkını çıkarmak hoşumuzu gitmez, çabuk sıkılan maymun iştahlı bir cinsiz. Belki göçebelikten geliyordur ya da bulunduğumuz coğrafyanın bize sunduğu nimetler kendisini çok yormayan , zevkçi ve gösterişçi bir tür yapmıştır bizi. Neyse derinlere inmiyim fazla, boğuluveririm mazallah!
Ne dedim , yazma amacım sadece can sıkıntısı. Tabii Ego abimizin de etkisi vardır, herkese bulaştığı gibi bana da bulaşmışlığı var.
Şimdi tüm bu yazılar beğenilir mi, günün birinde yayımlanır mı bilemem ama ben yazarken çok eğleniyorum, onu biliyorum . (Nasıl da hemen yazar oluverdim, çok yetenekli milletiz vesselam:))
Hayatın anlamı diyorduk ya, hani Yılan (Elon Musk) ve benim birlikte aradığımız, belki de anlam üretmektir, yaratmaktır. Zaten Tanrı da aynı amaçla yola çıkmadı mı?
Çok küçükten beri yaratmak ve üretmek için bir yerlerimi yırttığım kesin! Misal daha bebe yaşlarda tiyatro yazardım. Çoluk çocuk kuzen vs babaannemin evinde toplaşınca hemen bir çarşaf gerilir, oyun çoktan yazılmış, sahneye konulmuş roller dağıtılmıştır. Seyirciler oturtulur ve sahne!!!İşte o günlerden beri yaptığım her işte en keyif aldığım şey yaratmak ! Maymun iştahlı bir yaratıcı! Bu konuda maymunun dibiyim ve son yıllarda kendime çok ama çok kızıyorum! Maymun kaldın bir türlü insana evrilemedin diye. Meali şu: Hiç bir konuya derinlemesine giremedin , yüzeyde yüzüp yüzüp “oh ne ala hem hem yüzüp hem de güneşleniyorum” kafasında kaldın. Oysa bilim adamlarına gıptayla bakarım mesela. Vaktinde MEF dersanesinde Fizik hocam vardı Ataman bey ; böyle üniversite tercihlerini falan gösteriyoruz o sıralar.Ben de matematik sevmeyen fizik seven türdenim, matematiksiz nasıl fizik yapacaksam, ama fiziğim iyi (hem ders olarak hem görüntü olarak:))Ama tercihler Boğaziçi Turizm, Orta Kademe filan, iki yıllık direk paraya ve kapitale odaklı bölümler, e haliyle Özal çocuğuyuz pasta yiyeceğiz! Ataman hoca kaşlarını çatıp “oldu mu nerede Fizik ? “ demişti, hiç unutmam.Fizik öylece hayatımdan 50 yaşıma kadar çıkıp gitti. Sonra bir baktım 50 lerde geri gelmiş, anlam arıyoruz ya ! Baktım suyun yüzü kabak tadı verdi , güneşte zararlı , fiziğimizi koruma anlamında, derinlere dalıyım dedim. Bir fizik bir felsefe aşkı geldi .Neyse bu konu malum derin şimdi girmiyim , zaten girip girip çıkarım yeri geldikçe!
