\u201cAn unreasonable move is not acceptable either,\u201d say the scholars.
\nFor every action has its balance, every word its dignity, and every attitude its limits. The moment balance is lost, reason retreats and passion takes the lead. At that very moment, what must be done is not to get swept up in the crowd\u2019s excitement, but to pause and reflect, to question, and to seek out the truth. This is precisely what we call foresight.<\/p>\n
In fact, the behavior displayed during the party convention\u2014which has become the subject of debates over absolute nullity between Kemal K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu and \u00d6zg\u00fcr \u00d6zel\u2014was actually a major warning sign for anyone paying close attention at the time.<\/p>\n
People were rightly taken aback by Ali Mahir Ba\u015far\u0131r\u2014known to the public as \u201cZ\u0131p z\u0131p\u201d\u2014and his excessive joy, adolescent-like antics, and behavior bordering on clownishness. After all, there was no castle captured from the enemy. Nor was there a victory in a national struggle.
\nIt was merely a demonstration against a leader who had won the votes of millions in the presidential election and had shouldered the party\u2019s burden for years.<\/p>\n
One couldn\u2019t help but ask:
\nWhat was that all about?
\nWhat was that all about?
\nWhat was that sense of revenge all about?<\/p>\n
Looking back today, it becomes clear that the issue went far beyond personal ambition. It turns out that some people viewed politics not as a cause but as a source of plunder. They saw office not as a trust but as an opportunity.
\nThe money circulating in baklava boxes, the scandals unfolding in cemeteries, the allegations spreading far and wide\u2026
\nAll of this now sheds light on the state of mind behind the outburst that day.<\/p>\n
Because what\u2019s inside a person shows on the outside.
\nA pure heart breeds dignity; a corrupt heart breeds recklessness\u2026<\/p>\n
You can\u2019t expect anything good from the ram of a flock that has lost its way.
\nThe fate of crowds who mistake excess for virtue has always been to be swept away.<\/p>\n
Politics is not a neighborhood feud.
\nPolitics is a matter of seriousness, patience, dignity, and morality.
\nThose who try to rise by discrediting their rivals may win applause in the short term, but in the long run, they will squander their own dignity.<\/p>\n
Because merchants who lose their sense of proportion manipulate prices,
\nA politician who loses his sense of proportion loses his dignity\u2026<\/p>\n
Commercial losses will be compensated.
\nA bad investment can be corrected.
\nThe incorrect calculation is redone.
\nHowever, once political integrity has been compromised, it is not easy to restore. For integrity is not a garment one puts on later in life, but a matter of character ingrained in one\u2019s very being.<\/p>\n
A holy hand does not reach out to the dishonorable.
\nClean hands won\u2019t let dirty feet kiss them.
\nBecause a person of dignity prioritizes preserving their own character over the position they hold.<\/p>\n
This loss of perspective lies at the root of today\u2019s crises, scandals, and upheavals.
\nThose who mistake morality for a tactic may get by for the time being, but they cannot save themselves in the eyes of history.<\/p>\n
After all, history sometimes records not the results of elections, but the character of the people.<\/p>\n
And it should not be forgotten that:
\nIf the yeast is bad, it won\u2019t be the bread that\u2019s baked\u2014even if it\u2019s a pastry, it\u2019ll still upset your stomach.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
