Is there “any good” in what’s happened?

The screens are chock-full of dead and mutated “aphorisms”. The gallate became so famous that when an idiom, a proverb or a saying is pronounced correctly, we are feeling happy.

“Every cloud has a silver lining.”

How they blurt it out so easily… As if they are revealing a great mystery related with life, as wise as possible, as mature as possible.

Look at how wisdom and donnishness, and, maturity and stupidity got so close to each other.

Why does every cloud have a silver lining? Since every cloud has a silver lining, let us commit malice all they way and let prosperity become abundant in the nation.

Like a promotion!

It’s possible that it’s a wrong viewpoint on Ayet-i Kerime (a versicle from the Quran).

“It’s possible that even something you don’t like is good for you. It’s also possible that something you like might harm you.”

What’s at the beginning of Ayet-i Kerime?

“Kutibe aleykumul kıtalü ve hüve kurhun lekum.”

“War had been written for you and that won’t please you.” (Al-Baqara, 216th Versicle)

Don’t think that I’m trying to give fetwa. Far from it, I’m only searching for the root of “mumpsimus”.

There is also another possibility.

It’s being said that, “there is always good in what happened”.

There some between the people of Islam who say this with such incentive; You will try to prevent something wrong from happening. However, let’s say that you couldn’t. Then, it means that “that” had to happen. You will not interfere. Allah wanted that to happen.

It’s such a philosophic approach. It seems spot on within it’s context. Maybe the”every cloud has a silver lining” word is the gallate of the sentence.

I want to say; in the recent times, we are experiencing things we are not used to.

Let’s say that MIT Undersecretary Hakan Fidan decides to enter politics, and the President declares that he is against it. Then the whole thing gets smoothed over.

Of course, there are some good things happening in between.

The ones, who were applauding Fidan’s entry to politics, erase their applause in the noon time.

I’ve erased my applause; it’s invalid.

I’ve erased my flattery; it’s invalid.

It’s not important if he erased it and behaved himself. But no, he starts to blow the whistle from the opposite site during the mid-afternoon.

Then?

When Fidan returns to his duty, and things settle down?

Wish I didn’t say that! Look at that, he returned to MIT. Look, they made peace.

Will they be shamed? I don’t think so. They are very hardened.

President Erdoğan’s criticisms related with the monitoring committee.

On Monday, I’ve explained it by saying it’s an “optimistic comment”. That comment, in other words President Erdoğan’s idea, which he stated by taking the possible nationalist “tide” into consideration and raised the bar, is gradually spreading.

If you look at it from that angle, then there might be good in this.

Of course, Bülent Arınç is one of the most fluent and known faces in the history of Turkish politics. When he stands up and explains the position of the government, it also has a different value. However, we were also not ready for such changes.

“Don’t let it go any further”. Nobody knew, in how many promises there were in a spathe.

Just at that moment, Melih Gökçek’s quite severe and accusing statements popped out. Gosh, what’s happening? Is everyone waiting for an opportunity to accuse one another?

Then, following that, a strong reply from Mr. Bülent.

Of course, we might experience dizziness due to the cascade of culverts and seesaws. Until now we haven’t seen this much clearly. Because, this wasn’t included in our political tradition.

Should we imitate Sufis and say “there is good in what happened”?

How will we “interpret” this weird “dream” we had in the daylight?

Should we again pursue a consolation like “It’s actually good, politics should be open like this, let’s get used to the culverts; we might grow mature” that does not have a place in our tradition?

Maybe this consolation would have been sought in a peaceful time, when we weren’t this close to the elections and when invidious eyes weren’t staring so sinisterly. But, now?

However, we know and are sure that it’s possible that these quakes wouldn’t have happened. If they wanted to, they would have prevented it.

During election seasons, such polemics only make strangers happy.

The cost of the mistakes made by politics will not be only paid by politicians; the nation pays the big share of that cost.

Fortunately, President Erdoğan and Prime Minister Davutoğlu discussed these matters in a calm and intimate environment.

Davutoğlu’s statements yesterday had signs of tranquility and facility.

I suppose they must have also talked about the politeness of the situation.

If they did and if they’ve reached a solution, then there is an equivalent to saying “there is good in what happened, and that good thing is this”.
