it only produces noise.<\/p>\n<p>But the most basic need is this:<br \/>\nA little calm.<br \/>\nA little patience.<br \/>\nA little respect for the truth...<\/p>\n<p>But unfortunately, sloganic approaches such as \u201cit is ours\u201d and \u201cit is not alone\u201d have taken the place of thinking.<br \/>\nThe crowds speak but the mind is silent.<\/p>\n<p>And this mistake is not one-sided.<br \/>\nThe opposite reflex is exactly the same on the other side.<br \/>\nThe same memorizations left and right, the same preconceptions, the same mental comfort zone...<\/p>\n<p>Two approaches that look different but are essentially the same.<\/p>\n<p>This shows that the problem is not ideological;<br \/>\nthe problem is in the way you think.<\/p>\n<p>I wish Allah Almighty's mercy to our precious teacher Ayla Hoca and our students who lost their lives in this tragic incident, and I wish our nation patience and peace.<\/p>\n<p>There is one point that needs to be emphasized here:<br \/>\nMessages of sympathy and condolences from different segments of society for Ayla Hoca, a teacher who wore a headscarf...<\/p>\n<p>This is a picture we have missed for a long time.<br \/>\nA partnership built not on pain, but on humanity.<\/p>\n<p>Not to make the mistakes that some people have made in the past,<br \/>\nwithout marginalizing, without discriminating...<\/p>\n<p>That is really admirable.<\/p>\n<p>Because the truth is this:<br \/>\nPain has no identity.<br \/>\nVictimization has no ideology.<\/p>\n<p>If we cannot find a common conscience even in such incidents,<br \/>\nthat's where our real loss begins.<\/p>\n<p>Another important topic is the issue of responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>In this country, even for minor incidents, institutional managers can be dismissed,<br \/>\nIn such a major and shocking event, it is only natural that higher levels of responsibility should be discussed.<\/p>\n<p>Let's go even further:<br \/>\nIn such circumstances, the resignation of a minister is not a weakness for the health of the system; on the contrary, it is a sign of strength.<\/p>\n<p>Because resignation,<br \/>\n\u201cIt is to be able to say, \u201dI take responsibility.\".<\/p>\n<p>But we have not seen this virtue for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Those who benefit do not resign,<br \/>\nIt has become a reflex to cling to the seat.<\/p>\n<p>But positions are for responsibility;<br \/>\nnot a shelter.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion;<\/p>\n<p>The greatest need of this country is to become a society that acts with reason, not with reflexes.<\/p>\n<p>It is to be able to speak with common sense, not anger.<br \/>\nIt is to take a position based on justice, not on belonging.<\/p>\n<p>Because let us not forget:<br \/>\nThe wrong that is silenced today will grow tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>And in the end...<br \/>\nWe will be the victims again.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In such circumstances, the resignation of a minister is not a weakness for the health of the system;
