The ground shook, the buildings were blown away, and the pain we experienced melted all differences and gathered us under the umbrella of the human family. Individuals with different beliefs, ideologies and cultural structures came together to heal the wound and united in the axis of brotherhood.
The fact that people became one in the face of the disaster reminded me of my late teacher Erbakan's saying, "If you blow the ashes of this nation, faith will come out from under it".
That disaster that destroyed cities and people showed that when the ashes of our nation were blown, the spirit of bravery, solidarity, faith and unity could emerge from it, and we witnessed this together. I believe that with this unity, this spirit of solidarity, we will heal our wounds in a short time and rebuild the destroyed cities.
The disaster we experienced actually reminded us how limited our power is and showed that love is strong enough to melt the passions we cannot give up. While things are going well, we forget our deprivation, weakness and weakness and start building buildings out of violence, right? Our passions rise and we rebel. However, our body is as weak as a straw and we are thrown away with small tremors. Don't you see? How a few minutes of shaking took away all our joy…
The earthquake disaster we experienced showed that death is much closer than we thought. While we were bandaging our wounds, we realized our weakness and contemplated death. We reconsidered our passions, exuberance and insatiability that we could not tame and realized that everything we thought we had was entrusted to us.
When we felt the breath of death, everything lost its meaning and we saw that the feeling of brotherhood is a value that overcomes economic positions, social status and all titles and reaches the top. Differences disappeared and we felt that we were members of the human family.
How helpless we are, aren't we? When the buildings we built with our own hands fall on our heads, we become unable to think of anything but breathing. In such situations, we feel more intensely that it is a great opportunity to live and step on the ground.
And unfortunately, we are able to realize the compassion inherent in us when we encounter situations that threaten our lives. However, we have come to dissolve all the evil in this essence and spread the goodness...
Our purpose of existence was just this…
