This is the meeting of friends for 40 years, even the story of 50 years of friendships. These friends are not people brought together by a union of destiny, but people united by a faith.
They came together every year. At a dinner meeting, they formed a conversation council and dispersed. Some of them have reached the Rahmet-i Rahmana. They have more meetings nowadays. The more they miss each other, the more they seek.
They were having trouble at one such meeting. They complained about the irregularities imposed on them in the power of a powerful party. One of them was the last to be the governor of a province. The man had taken an exam. The examination commission had chosen one, and the Governor wanted the examination to be canceled. He also ordered that the candidate named after him be won illegally.
Our Governor friend, who did not comply with the order, was pulled to the center like a criminal, and he was left under suspicion as if he had done a wrong job.
A knowledgeable retired general manager took the floor, a friend who studied at the same time. He turned it over and brought various examples; he kept telling his older religious worker friend that what he did was wrong. He made it so honey that everyone listened to him with great enthusiasm and approved with his eyes. He was applauded as a great political genius.
However, the values they believed were one hundred percent opposite. He was speaking convincingly about the need to contradict what he believed. However, this group was raised as a defender of values many years ago.
Where had they come now? Seeing that it was their turn, a few of them were taken to the other side, and they were advising to treat each other as a matter of interest. From where to where? What was it, but not the erosion of these values? What was this, not the overturning of the ehram of truth?
Doesn't that mean denying themselves, their personality? Was it that they were brought up? Did they set out for this purpose? Where were they now intending to go? They were preparing to make concessions on their beliefs for a three-penny position, position and benefit, and they were telling each other about it like genius.
Values were not eroded, but eliminated altogether. For years, neither suffering nor struggles had been fought. Was it all wasted? Did all these humiliations endured in vain, were all these sacrifices made in vain?
What about this way of behavior that meant denial of self? Was this why they were brought up and put into life? Would they take on the morals of those they took over from their hands? If they would show the same behavior, what difference would they have? What was the meaning of their existence? If they would look like their enemies, what was the point of their existence?
This is why these people valued them? What did it mean if these values were turned upside down? How do we explain this contradiction now? Doesn't that mean suicide for all of us?
We want to point out this contradiction, this bad trend. We reject this departure whenever we can. We reject this return to the fait accompli. As long as this soul is in the body, it will be like this. Know it like this.
