Our ancestors have had sayings for centuries. Proverbs.
We just talk about it, try to make sense of it as it happens to us.
However, proverbs are always a guide.
If there is not a single traitor within us, the power of a thousand degenerates outside will not be enough to destroy us.
Or;
“The liar's candle burns until the end of time” was the definition of lying and betrayal centuries ago. The enemy is clear, but when the traitor comes from within, he always inflicts a greater wound than the enemy.
“The feet take the punishment for the head without a mind. What about salt for tasteless food, what about words for a mindless head. What a mindless head shaves.” It is explained that the consequences of acting without reason are bad.
The ancestors are always wise, these words are filtered through experiences and experiences.
“As long as the homeland survives, the rest is nothing. Love for homeland comes from faith. Land is a homeland if one dies for it. Ask me for my saddle and I will give it to you, ask me for my horse and I will give it to you, but no one should ask for an inch of land from my homeland, I cannot give it, I cannot give it.” The words of the Asian Hun Empire Mete Khan have survived until today.
“History repeats itself. History is written by the victors. The past is called mazi, the defeated is called lamb. One cannot boast of a gravestone.” Awareness of history is also found in proverbs.
Proverbs are a reflection of oral history and culture as well as being written. In our age, we have realized how right and true the proverbs are.
This culture actually shapes our way of life, our values and our future. Proverbs are ancestral advice.
“What does a donkey know about pleasant words? Silence for the small, speech for the big. It is known to the wise. To consume zero. What goes around comes around.”
As we read them, we see in proverbs the reflection of experience, experience and a culture everywhere from social life, private life, political life to state life.
“He should listen to the proverbs such as ”to return when the road is close“ and listen to his ancestors in the CHP base. Özgür Özel should also be well aware that he will leave the presidency he obtained with money with ”what goes up must come down".
What is essential is the nation and the state. This state, which does not fit in two worlds, will always enlighten the future with the words of its ancestors who are the roots of this state.
From the architecture of the Seljuks, the campaigns of Kanuni, the splendor of Fatih and the genius of Atatürk, we should not forget that our future, our children will be enlightened and shine from these teachings.
The ancestral saying “The tree bends at an early age” tells us that the consciousness with which we raise our children will carry out their lives, and that working with “working iron shines” will always take you one step further.
Let's say that we have plenty of days in which we move forward by enlightening our consciousness in the light of proverbs, and let our historical consciousness be the earring of our ears.
