Timur, Yılmaz and Eren…
They were three friends. They had grown up together since childhood. They
had formed good memories. Timur became a tradesman and opened his own shop. He
was the type who loved action and talking. He was what we call "homeland
people". If a customer comes in front of the shop, he looks at them for a
while, then somehow starts a conversation: "Where is your hometown?"
"How many children do you have?" and he manages to be close to the customers.
Yılmaz became a teacher. As his family's economic situation deteriorated, he
started working at an early age and life matured him. He was a very talented
and cheerful person. His only problem was that he could not express his anger properly
without using curse words. Eren also studied and became a doctor. His family
was devoted to his education, and he did his best in return. He was a
hardworking and disciplined person.
Time passed quickly. All three of them were now married and had children.
Even though the years passed, they managed to stay together and were with each
other in good and bad times. During their childhood years, they would meet
after school and enjoy spending time together. These meetings had become an old
routine. They would share whatever sadness or joy they had. Even though they
got married, they continued their ties without breaking them. They even met
their spouses and organized meetings among themselves.
Once a week, they would go to Dursun Brother's place, whom they loved very much.
It was a small shop in the industry zone, consisting of a few tables and
chairs. There were two signs in front of his door saying 'Welcome' and 'Bald
Man’s Place'. Customers would wait in line in front of the shop when there was
no space left. It was truly one of the best kebab restaurants here. Especially
the appetizers he brought with that kebab are amazing. A person would be full
anyway if he ate the appetizers.

That day, like every week, three friends met after work. They ordered Adana
wraps from Dursun. They wouldn't be able to stay very long today. They decided
to have a snack and get up. Their faces were worth seeing when they saw the
wraps coming with the service. When all three of them turned their heads and
looked at the service in the waiter's hand, they started smiling. It was like a
perfect photograph; The faces of the men smiling at the wraps, looking towards
the incoming service. Over time, they began to resemble each other and had many
things in common. They would smile at the same things, be sad at the same
things, and feel disturbed by the same things. It was obvious from the outside
that they loved each other.
As they say, a person is like the one he loves...
What a comfort it is to be close to people who bring you benefit and pleasure.
How important it is to be close to one's true friends. How valuable it
must be to be together with good people...
Sometimes people think that there is luck and coincidence in this life.
However, a person only gets the reward of his choices in life. Of course, it
was not a coincidence that people had friends who were helpful and enjoyable.
They continue to move forward in life with their true friends, looking in the
same direction together, towards common goals and objectives.
However, sometimes a person can confuse his friend with his foe. When
things start to happen against his wishes or his wishes are blocked, he may
mistake his friend for his enemy and his enemy for his friend. However, enemy
means someone who causes harm. A person with drug addiction thinks that the
person who sells him the drug is a friend. And he may think that his family,
who stopped giving him money for drugs, are enemies. A person makes a mistake
depending on whether his desires are hindered or supported. Sometimes what he
needs may be to let go of what he wants. And since this is very difficult for
him, he may make decisions that will harm him. It's like a person who cheats on
his wife thinking that the person who tells him to go back to his family is an
enemy. Or like a child thinking that his family, who tells him to study, is an
enemy...
When a person begins to make choices in life
based on his wants rather than his needs, he goes to extremes. As it was said
in the past, "There is no end to wanting." For this reason, his
wishes begin to harm him. And he sees anyone who tries to prevent these wishes
as his enemy.
The real friend is the one who benefits him. He
is the one who truly perceives and meets his needs. Friends
are the person whom he considers close even though he is not related to the
person, the person whom benefits you. In this life, a person must first consider
benefit in his relationships. He should add beauty to it later. One should
first choose the one that is beneficial and then see if it does it well. We
need to pay attention to this in order to coexist with good people. Everyone
prays to meet good people. However, the most important thing is to be able
to be with the good ones.
Just like Timur, Yılmaz and Eren...
They had gone through many difficulties, but
they had supported each other for years by offering benefits. They were true
friends.
They chatted for a while until they finished
their wraps and relieved the tiredness of the day. They enjoyed filling their
stomachs with delicious kebabs while listening to nostalgic music. Moreover,
the atmosphere became even more beautiful with the tea that Dursun Brother had brought
from his famous relative's tea garden.
The issue is not that you are surrounded by a
crowded environment. The main thing is that being with good people which is
always meaningful and special. For this reason, let's have roads that lead to
good people. And may we be blessed to be on the same side with them...
