Criticisms against the new generation, the current era, the current government, the economic trend, and global crises have always existed. Throughout human history, these issues have plagued me at different levels. This is much more painful for those who have high expectations for this world. You may think that some people love to live with pain and complaints. In fact, it's more about habit than love. Since it is much easier to complain than to produce a solution, a person clings to another bad habit by choosing the comfortable one. Doesn't being a child of your habits also mean you can't grow?
 
Getting rid of childhood isn't just due to the aging of the identity card. Most people can't grow in the sense of their habits. Growing up is not just spending more time in this world. It means growing up, maturing, being a wise person, using your mind correctly, solving the secret of life. Growing up is not about lamenting about the past or drowning in worries about the future. Growing is to build a hybrid and modern solution world for today by blending past experiences and future vision. Yes, the ground is slipping under our feet. No, actually the ground has been slipping under our feet for a long time. Maybe the ground has long been rocky under our feet. In any case, do not think that we are in trouble, we are bored, we are depressed and we do not know what to do. There is always something to do.
 
I think that it is enough for now to think that things will work out no matter what the conditions are, and to take refuge in Allah's mercy. Provided we do our best. It is necessary to think long and hard about doing one's part in the best way or dealing with other things. That's why the slipping of the soil under our feet and what we do while the soil slides under our feet are separate problems. You see that all people are concerned with the earth sliding under our feet, but you will see very few people dealing with the effects that the earth may have as it slides under our feet.
 
Let me explain like this.
 
You are a mother, do you take care of your child or do you run after shopping?
 
You are a teacher, do you care about raising qualified young people or filling overtime?
 
You are a businessman, are you working to save money or to be able to help more?
 
You are a manager in a non-governmental organization, working on a topic that interests you? Or are you chasing other seats?
 
You are a lawyer, are you fighting for rights and justice or by the amount your client pays?
 
You are a doctor, you are a butcher, you are a furniture maker or a carpenter, what do you work for and what do you do?
 
Lately, I have begun to think that it is unnecessary to write a lot, talk and explain a lot. It cannot be explained at length to those who do not understand it briefly. It is ideal for him to speak at a level close to silence. Measured and controlled, conscious and planned, thoughtful speech or writing is probably the most valuable. Actually, I would like to share this article with you with just one question. What are you doing when the ground is slipping under our feet?
