Ben boyle hayata hayat mi derim.


Turkiye buyuk bir insanini kaybetti.  Gokyuzundeki pirilti, gunesin gulen yuzu olarak seni her zaman yanimizda hissedecegiz.

Bu yanliz geceler bana arkadas
Dilimde dert sarkisi gozlerimde yas
Aglarim inlerim bitmez kederim
Ben boyle hayata hayat mi derim

Ne olur, bahtima bir gunes dogsa
Benim de sevecek bir yarim olsa

Aglarim inlerim bitmez kederim
Ben boyle hayata hayat mi derim

Bu yanliz geceler bana arkadas.

Breaking Bad


Every man has a breaking point, even the most subversive, mellow husband, even the most caring, pampering mother, no-one is immune to the load of such overwhelming pressure.  All it takes is one final nudge that puts him over the top of his endurance limit. The tiniest secretion from the potent criminal gene overpowers all the good. The intensity of the will to destroy is so irresistible that vengeance is the only way to satisfy his anger. Justification is meaningless and unnecessary. Victims deserve punishment without reason.

How can someone go so bad ? What is the secret potion that has the potential to transform a mild cat into this merciless war machine ? The circumstances are not unique for every man. The life style defines how close a person is,  to breaking bad in the event of a triggering act.  A day filled with sweat and hard work lived by a peasant contrasts greatly with an aristocrat's boringly easy life-style. The level of resistance to that final blow before breaking bad is not the same for either one. Yet, both can equally be competitively murderous when they go bad. Is it the final blow or their life style, that makes these inherently different men act so similarly violent ? And regardless, is it true from their perspective that their exerted violence is justifiable?

You can not and should not use your life-style as an excuse to go bad when you happen to face with a hardship. Nothing gives you the right to claim just and fair life. Life is not promised to you to be fair and just. You can not assume your life should be handed to you in a way you'd like to live it. If you are born in a poor village, you can not reason it to go bad. Even if you live your life by doing everything right, you do not earn anything to go bad when things start to go south. Bad things happen because they are mostly random, you can not exclude yourself from it, regardless of your faith in any religion, you need to realize that you have to be good when you are expected to behave bad.  Finally, do not allow profiteers, political parties, religious leaders to use your life style to drive you bad, because they would surely like to manipulate masses by using ethnicity and religion as being factors for your unfair life.
