The Role of Clothing in Civilization: Respect and Responsibility

Image
Clothing has always sparked debates and carried meanings beyond its original purpose. At its core, the motive behind wearing clothes seems straightforward: protection from the elements. Clothes shield us from heat, cold, rain, and other environmental factors. Yet, over time, clothing has been forcibly turned into a symbol of social status—something it was never meant to be. While it’s natural to value cleanliness and presentation as a sign of self-respect and respect for others, there’s another dimension to consider. Our bodies are our most personal and irreplaceable property. They are a gift from our parents, a miraculous vessel that allows us to experience life. As such, how we treat our bodies reflects the respect we hold for ourselves. Unfortunately, in today’s society, clothes are often used to amplify physical attributes in a way that prioritizes sexuality over decency. This undermines a critical form of respect: the respect that comes from modesty and self-discipline. Many indiv...

The Divine Purpose of the Universe: Balance

Image
In exploring our spiritual nature, we uncover profound questions about the universe, ourselves, and what we often call God. One of the most fundamental questions, "Is there a God?" brings us to an even more insightful one: "What is God?" The answer may lie not in viewing God as an external entity, watching from afar, but rather as the universe itself—a vast, interconnected web of energy, matter, and forces. In this view, God is not a separate being but the essence of existence, and we, as living entities, are part of this whole. Understanding our connection to this universal energy offers insight into God’s true purpose. This purpose is not about judgment or intervention; rather, it is about balance. Life itself is a form of energy striving toward equilibrium. In nature, energy flows toward balance, maintaining stability, and thus endures. Through this lens, the purpose of God, and the universe itself, is the pursuit of balance. This balance manifests in subtle ways...

Be good.

Image
In my childhood, spending days in the village, I became fascinated by the sky—especially the night sky. On clear evenings, when clouds were nowhere to be seen, the stars would appear, scattered in countless numbers. I remember trying to count them but quickly lost track. Their lights were so vivid and beautiful, like tiny pieces of magic suspended above. Full of energy, I spent most days running around our backyard, inventing games and exploring every corner. Adults probably thought my actions were childish, maybe even reckless, as I ran around imagining entire worlds and occasionally doing things that could get me hurt. One night, while I was engrossed in the stars above, my grandmother caught my eye as she walked toward the barn to milk the cows, her evening ritual. She noticed me staring upward, wide-eyed and captivated. Without hesitation, she grabbed my arm, her firm grip making me pay close attention. In that quiet moment, she leaned in and told me that if I will be good , she’d ...

Change the world

Image
One day, I found myself reflecting on the world we inhabit. I began to question how it could be made better, more just, or more enlightened. But with every step I took in my contemplation, I stumbled into barriers—limitations in my understanding, gaps in my perspective. These barriers hindered my progress, preventing me from envisioning any meaningful change. I realized that these blockages weren’t external obstacles but internal limitations stemming from my own lack of knowledge. To surpass these hurdles, I had to delve deeper, exploring not only the intricate details of the world around me but also my understanding of its workings. I needed to expand my horizons and broaden my comprehension of what truly constitutes our world—its systems, its history, its interconnectedness. This realization led me to a simple yet profound conclusion: If one desires to change the world, the first and most essential step is to know it. This is not just about gathering facts, but about deeply understa...

Is there a God?

Image
The question, "Is there a God?" has sparked constant debate throughout human history. There are those who firmly answer "yes," and others who resolutely declare "no." But regardless of which side one takes, simply answering this question does not seem to offer any tangible resolution. In my youth, I often pondered this very question, only to realize that it acts more like a roadblock, halting further meaningful inquiry. Both sides are fixated on the binary nature of the answer without considering a far more important follow-up. So, I began to approach this dilemma using imagination, extending the conversation beyond the simple “yes” or “no.” Let’s assume for a moment that the answer is "yes"—there is a God. It sounds like a significant revelation, but does the world as we know it change? No, the world remains the same, with all its challenges and complexities intact. Knowing that God exists doesn’t change the world’s circumstances or, more import...

Selfish rebels

Image
We all come into this world without material wealth or knowledge, starting our lives from scratch. In the early stages of life, it’s natural to believe we are the center of the universe. However, as we mature, this perspective broadens. Some people, though, cling to that initial egocentric belief and develop a self-centered, immature mindset, ignoring the reality that we live in a complex civilization—not in isolation, as if in the wild. This society was built by countless individuals who are no longer with us, each contributing to a vision of balance, where everyone is treated equally and deserves respect. Those who fail to grasp that civilization is something carefully constructed, not something that occurs naturally, often turn into selfish rebels , disregarding the very system that ensures order. Every generation has its phase of rebellion. While it’s essential to challenge genuine injustice, we must remember that we all start at zero. Our successes come through effort and determin...

The Struggle Between Maturity and Dependency

Image
Life often presents us with two distinct paths: one leading to maturity and greatness, the other to stagnation and dependency. The immature human struggles with the choice between these paths, each offering vastly different outcomes. The first path—the path to greatness—requires the cultivation of a strong, mature will. It is a journey of self-growth, where one's reactions are honed and matured to handle the challenges life presents. By choosing this path, a person becomes adaptable, ready to navigate any change with grace and clarity. This path shapes individuals into visionaries, leaders, and creators. Those who walk it leave behind a legacy, becoming pacemakers in their fields and contributors to the world around them. This is the path of a mature human , one whose will is a force of creation and purpose. On the other hand, the second path, governed by an immature will, leads to constant turmoil. Lacking self-guidance, individuals on this path are often overwhelmed by unresolved...
