A mouse, living peacefully on a farm, saw from his hiding hole that the owner and his wife had bought a mousetrap and were preparing it to destroy him. Excited, he ran to his neighbor, the chicken, and told him what had happened.

"I'm sorry," said the chicken, "this has nothing to do with me and I can't help you."

Resentful, the mouse went to his best friend, the sheep, and told him his problem. The sheep said to him: "You are my good friend, but what can I do, you have to deal with this alone." In frustration and great fear, he went to his last hope, the cow, with whom he had spent so much time, and asked for help. Similarly, the cow said: "I'm sorry, my friend! All I can do for you is pray."

Overcome with great sadness and fear, the mouse was left alone with the trap and the fight for his life.
At midnight, the farm shook with a great noise, followed by a huge scream. The farmer and all the workers ran to the cellar. The snake's tail was caught in the trap in the cellar. The farm owner's wife, who could not see the snake in the dark, was bitten by the snake and collapsed with a scream.

The woman was rushed to the hospital where she was allowed to eat only chicken soup, so the first thing she did was to slaughter the chicken and make soup. A sheep was slaughtered and cooked to serve to visiting friends and family. Three to five days later, the woman, who could not recover, died. This time, when the whole town gathered at the farm for condolences, a cow was slaughtered and served to them.
The mouse was watching all this from its hole in the ground and shaking its head...

There is a famous zen saying: The flap of a butterfly's wings on our street can create storms in the Indian Ocean. Because everything in this universe is interconnected in a great harmony. Today, when the countries and nations that are collapsing one after the other like dominoes in the "Arab Spring" come to an end, it will surely be the turn of those who stacked the dominoes.

In this postmodern era called the New Age, there is no choice but to connect to each other with love. Moreover, love is an invincible energy. So much so that when the universe is imagined as a huge swimming pool, a stone thrown at one end can even move and ripple the ball at the other end with its wavelengths and vibrations. We must throw love into the pool of the universe, pour love into it, and fill our containers with love from the other end; there is no other solution. The trap set in Turkey today may touch other friends one day, and it will. I recommend the peace frame of dear Tamer Dövücü to my whole country, instead of the anxiety frame...
They might even feed us to each other, like cannibal rats on old ships.

There used to be a method of exterminating rats on ships. They would catch a rat alive and starve it for days, then throw a tiny rat next to it. The starving big mouse would eat the little mouse, then the second, the third, the fifth. After raising a cannibal mouse, they would release it into the ship. Thinking that he was one of them, he would roam freely among the other mice, catch them and eat them one by one.

Sound familiar? We are all aware of what is going on, early or late... I just wanted to remind you... One more time...

Happy Eid Turkey...
