<\/p>\nWe used to think, \u201cHow do we turn our dreams into reality?\u201d Nowadays, our biggest luxury is to escape from the harsh reality that surrounds us and dream for a moment. In other words, we no longer dream of taking refuge from dream to reality, but from reality to dream.<\/p>\n

As we stand on the threshold of 2026, we look back and realize that what is missing is not just a year, but a whole lifetime. On New Year's Eve in the old Turkey, the approaching New Year would warm our hearts with the famous \u2019what if\u201c possibility. That lottery ticket bought from the neighborhood dealer, the turkey table prepared for the evening, carefully selected nuts and cola for the children... This was the modest but peaceful ritual of the average family. And the most important thing was this: There were no rich and poor at that table, everyone was equal in fun and joy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bug\u00fcn ise o “e\u011flence e\u015fitli\u011fi” mottolar\u0131n alt\u0131nda ezilerek yok oldu. Bir asgari \u00fccretlinin maa\u015f\u0131n\u0131n %40’\u0131ndan fazlas\u0131n\u0131 sadece temel g\u0131daya ay\u0131rmak zorunda oldu\u011fu bu devirde, o sofray\u0131 kurabilmek art\u0131k imk\u00e2ns\u0131za yak\u0131n.

So how did we go from that childlike excitement to this gray despair? This is not an accident, but the story of a systematic collapse. We toppled everything with a domino effect: First we corrupted justice, corrupted justice shook the economy, corrupted economy crippled democracy. In a country that falls behind in the Rule of Law Index, the economy inevitably eliminated meritocracy. Where order breaks down, hope is the first to die. Those who think that today's lack of yesterday was a \u201cdisadvantage\u201d are mistaken; the Turkey of the past may not have had much, but it did not have such a deep despair.<\/p>\n
Those who are supposed to illuminate this dark picture live in a completely different world, in mottoes of their own creation. At the top of politics is not the fire on the people's tables, but the fight over \u201cwho has been victimized more?\u201d or \u201cwho stands more proud?\u201d. While the opposition bases its strategy solely on victimization, the government is trying to turn its power into an instrument of \u201cvictimization\u201d. The public, on the other hand, has been condemned to a climate squeezed between these two egos, between victimization and victimization.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the stale play that is staged at the end of every year is back in theaters: \u201cMuslims do not celebrate New Year.\u201d Rather than a religious sensitivity, this expression has become the most useful motto to cover up social poverty. The language that questions the turkey, nuts, even a glass of Coke or soda on people's tables through this motto; in fact, it serves to hide the fact why that table is empty.<\/p>\n
While poverty is legitimized with an ideological cover, the fact that what is not being celebrated is not \u201cNew Year's Eve\u201d but the \u201cdignity of human dignity\u201d itself is overlooked with these noisy slogans. Trying to explain the lack of food on the table with faith is nothing but sanctifying injustice.<\/p>\n
This order must change, but this change can only be possible by making justice and merit the cornerstones of the system, not just by changing the numbers. Otherwise, when the calendar turns to 2026, only one number will have changed.<\/p>\n
Because we know that in an order where justice is more expensive than bread, every slogan put on the table is not to fill the stomach, but to hide hunger. 2026 should not just be a leaf on the calendar, but the milestone of an honorable life.<\/p>\n
When was the last time you dreamed without thinking about \u201cnumbers\u201d and costs, without taking refuge in the shadow of a motto?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
