Humanist Manifest


I do not know where the hell the world is going. I do not know whether we are human as required as to change the World to end up in peace, justice and equality for all living beings and the world itself. I am in sorrow watching the children dying under the bombs, dying because of politics, diseases, hunger, lack of clean water.. all kind of reasons. I am also in pain hearing about soldiers dying because I do not believe that all of them meant to kill civilians.

The wildness in world is like in a rush..  terrorist attacks, wars for nothing, police violence directed by politics, racism, discrimination.. Why/for what?! I could never find an answer for this question.  If you have one, please let me know!

And the next question, who might have something to say? Who can awaken the goodness (if still exists) in human beings?  Religious people???  Then which religion? I have never seen such a powerful discrimination in the world! I can list thousands, millions, billions of crime committed in the mean of religion. It sounds like religion is not the castle of goodness anymore but a cover to hide or justify violence in the world. Politicians??? Do we expect them to question their own behaviors? You and your conscience are the only one who can tell the truth to yourself.

I strongly believe that when we are able to eliminate any kind of discrimination in our minds and be fair to everyone, we will be close to solution. I am reading comments in social media calling Hitler back or thanking him what he did to Jewish people.  Could you please explain me what is the responsibility of innocent people who are killed in Nazi era for the violence in Palestine now? This is not the mindset to solve international problems. This mindset is what makes the problems endless! What will you say if Palestine kills civilians after 10 years? Then will you thank to today’s Israel for what it is doing now? There is no way to come to an end with this way of thinking. If you are thinking like that there are not much difference between you and Shaked. Who is responsible what is happening in Palestine today? Just Israel? Or also Europe discriminated Jewish people in the history? What about the Ottoman Empire, UK, France, all countries had power in the region in the past? What about US? What about Judaism? It is impossible to fix all the mistakes in history and religions. It is time to settle down and be fair to living people not to history!

And how to protest Israel? By not consuming products originating by Israeli companies? Ok, fine! So I can trust all of you that you will never eat KFC, BurgerKing, McDonalds anymore, will not use Unilever products, Polo, Diesel, Cacharel will not be your favorite brands anymore and of course you will never drink Coca Cola again! I appreciate all of you but to be honest I have at least 20% of the brands listed in my home now. Boycott is a way to protest but are you sure it is just the coke you did not drink today but will drink again starting from tomorrow or more chemicals, high-tech, diamonds that can be boycotted at country or even global level? There were protests in front of Israeli Consulate in Turkey. I support that. But again could you please explain the reasoning behind damaging Coca Cola trucks passing through the road? You think Israel will be doing war budget planning again because of these trucks. There is also another possibility which sounds me more realistic. The driver, who is most probably Turkish and Muslim and even maybe fastening, will be scold because of causing damage to company truck. We are all modern slaves. Our anger is like flash in the pan spread with no target and even to wrong target. If you do not believe, we can discuss further next month drinking our cokes or Nescafe’s. Can you think of how many people are working in Israeli originated companies located in Turkey? And could you please also consider the suppliers for these companies? Do you believe in your government to support domestic investments to provide jobs to all of these people?

Poverty is managing our actions, or turn around the coin, prosperity is governing the world. Please be realistic to yourselves. We are like in a helix, thinking as we are taking the lead and going forward but actually we are just turning around and sinking in a hell with the directions of invisible criminals of modern world. When we are surrendered by imaginary prosperity and made feeling them as our needs, we are falling behind of our natural ego. Our id is very open to external stimuli. When we are not able to build up our ego to handle all these expansion in our pleasure and need definitions, we are turning into modern slaves. This is not much different for decision makers doing all these violence in the world. Hope we will be able to control attacks to our id or improve our ego to handle all this expansion and finally find out the natural humanity inside.
