This time I was going to put the title of the article as "Changing Lives". While we focus on the reasons that accelerate the change of life, we focus more on the causes. But we cannot ignore the effects of the intellectual formation that causes it. There are sociological reasons for the change of a society, nation, families and moreover individuals. Without knowing and examining these, a way out cannot be found. Besides sociological reasons, there are also economic and psychological reasons. These are elements that support or direct each other.
In our previous articles, we focused on clothes and women. These have a priority in terms of showing the distinctive face of a society. Because it is more obvious in women. Passion for fashion, clothes, appearance and, accordingly, economic support, luxury living. This is one of the main reasons why divorces have increased recently. Living more luxuriously, economic independence, the "freedom" that comes with it, living on one's own.
Human nature has needs. In a sense, these are also related to economic situations. There is a situation where supply and demand meet each other. Women desire acquisitions and gains according to the psychology of the environment in which they live. She wants to acquire and live what she sees. When the budget of the house is not enough to meet these, conflicts and depressions begin. These even lead to the destruction of families.
The greed for excessive consumption in the society, the desire to acquire removes the borders. Here, the concepts of halal and haram disappear. This applies to both men and women. Because while one section lives in luxury before their eyes, a tension inevitably arises because the other's budget does not allow or does not exist at all. Because the economic structure or life is based on it. The capitalist system does not see people as a value. They regard each other as competing in consumption. Since he looks at it with that eye, he looks at how much he can collect from each of them.
Since there are no limits to legitimacy, snatching, theft and major robberies gain momentum accordingly. The big and powerful rob more. Technically, there are laws prepared for them. For example, excuses such as unfair profits with interest, or recent exchange rate increases. Someone is multiplying and adding to their earnings overnight. The power of the weak is only snatching and theft. They are robberies.
Once upon a time there were bankers. They made big hits. The symbolic name of a period was “Banker Kastelli”. There were dozens of big robbers like him. Recently, the names of institutions and entities have changed, such as "Tosuncuk". The robberies made with the stalls set up on social media are too big to be underestimated.
They suddenly lose their savings for their future with small savings. It is done by sight. Because the religious and spiritual feelings of the society have weakened. Those who have lost what they have, how they can improve their current situation and increase their earnings, get caught up in his greed. It is out of the question whether what is to come will be haram or halal. Those who set up fraud schemes do not have such feelings anyway.
The system is so structured that those who create their order, or those who receive power and support, suddenly cross their borders. This leads to the fact that it knows no borders anymore. The structure that dominates the society is built on this. Some institutions, which are symbols of the state, openly encourage this. An institution like Milli Piyango affects all layers of people. The feeling of being rich with a ticket seems to be accepted now. This is just an example. Gambling and similar games have been around for a long time. Gambling is prohibited in the Islamic nation. However, when the official institutions of the state legitimize gambling, it becomes a principle. This is the legitimacy of the haram.
Changes in society, these occurrences support each other and turn into a life. This new and modern life of swindlers and robbers is unfortunately also a reality.
