A 10-year-old boy was expressing to his therapist that he had stolen an item that belonged to his friend and that he had broken it to quiet his conscience, and was expressing his regret. When the therapist said that he could share the incident with his friend and apologize, the boy would say, "If I do, he will see me as a thief," and he kept his head down and fell into silence. The child was experiencing intense restlessness in his inner world and realized that something was not right, the child heard the voice of his conscience and wanted to make up for his mistake.
 
Regardless of the content, violation of rights destroys the natural structure of human beings and in such cases boredom, tension and mental distress are inevitable, and children feel this discomfort even more intensely because they are free from the evils that adults are involved in. But, unfortunately, adults who have not lost their innocence, adults with clogged compassionate veins and lost insight, do not realize this situation, and they start to evaluate the events with a crooked perspective, considering the violation of rights as a success. You know; The executive cadres of the third world countries, which do not have a settled system in the political field and are remotely controlled, make all kinds of promises to their people until they come to the job, but when they reach the position they want, they forget their promises and start to live glamorous lives in glass palaces and look down on the people. As a matter of fact, many administrators who persuaded the people with various promises in our country later changed their direction and left a dirty mark with luxury, pomp, arrogance, showing off, nepotism, torpedoism and excessive spending.
 
The AKP administrators, who gave great hope to the religious people who were subjected to heavy pressure on February 28 and after, emphasized rights and justice when they came to power in 2002, and they managed to deceive the public in this regard. However, time brought the dirt under the carpet to the surface, and our minds began to be preoccupied with the luxurious and ostentatious lives, large expenditures, wealth, and unqualified relatives they placed in high positions of these rank-and-file brothers. Attitudes that smell of excessive waste and arrogance, torpedoing, nepotism, easy way of acquiring property, being offered to close people were situations we were accustomed to hearing, but we could not digest the complacency of the religious people on this issue and we kept questioning how the incident reached such dimensions. Although the fault belongs to the servants, we know that Islam is perfect, but we all have been deeply hurt by such an inconsistent transformation of the religious people... In the past days, there was an article by Hayrettin Karaman, who attracted attention with his support to the ruling party, on social media. "Prayer, fasting and pilgrimage cannot save those who devour people's rights, harm the state and the public."
 
As you know, elections are held with great enthusiasm in our society and political candidates talk about honesty, fairness, peace and tranquility, and they say that they will definitely give an example of Omar's (r.a.) justice, and we will follow his path. However, after these people come to power, they realize that those high mountains are not what they seem from afar, and they become captives of their souls. Money and position have an attractive and compelling aspect, so there have been very few people who have come to these positions and did not compromise on humility and justice. They acted like a passenger walking on a tightrope and showed great care in every step they took. Every responsible person should show the sensitivity shown by these people.
