Quote by Ahmet Turan Esin

“Humans became a being of the mind. And, if this mind does not turn towards the truth, it remains attached to specific, individual realities or assumptions of multiple minds. The cutting of the cables connecting to the divine source (revelations) leads to the conclusion that mentally generated values only concern one’s self. As long as each individual searches for their own truth, many subjective truths that are different from the Divine Truth arise. This is the result of modern philosophy, which has created an insurmountable gap between Mind / Soul and Me / the Other.”

“Self-destruction seems to be an aberration peculiar to the human condition. Aren’t man’s miseries of his making, brought about by his own debilities? And yet, while lamenting over his shortcomings, he tends to blame it on life! But life seems to understand man more than he does it. Well, to preclude him from perishing in grief, life infuses in him hope for sustenance. Besides, by imparting an existential ethos in him to avert the cascade of tragedy--of human extinction--life seems to countervail itself to keep up its propagation.”

“Tired of 'be strong' advices! I wonder, what's so wrong in being weak? How can a mortal remain strong in all circumstances? Allow yourself to be weak as well, here lies the true strength. Just like strength our weakness is also an emotion gifted by Mother Nature. Embrace it all, Accept it all.”

“We Are All Racist (The Sonnet) If we are still uncomfortable to face, The roots of racism, how can we uproot racism! Unless we recognize our tendency for division, How can we ever be the cause of universalism! The fundamental fact of human nature is, We are a septic tank of prehistoric biases. Sectarianism comes to us far too easily, For we are all fundamentally racist. Cruelty is the mainspring of survival in the wild, So our brain leans more towards cruelty than kindness. Millions of years of conditioning won't vanish overnight, We must self-regulate with our newly developed conscience. The end of racism starts with the recognition of racism. We are civilized only when we recognize our uncivilization.”
