Do you know why children seem innocent to us?
Because they don't do much calculation. They have no
account. Their love is sincere and genuine. If they are angry, they say it.
They do not ignore it just because it is for their own benefit.
They do what we always wanted to do but couldn't, they
act naturally and recklessly, as they feel like doing... We look at their
innocence as if we were watching a movie...
It was one of those days again, I was at my grandmother's
knees. I was counting my holiday allowance to see what I could buy. That day,
my grandmother said the same thing to me for the first time that she always
said to others. “Dear, don't count your money, it will decrease…” she said. How
ridiculous it seemed to me that day. So, because I counted my money, a
math-hating witch would come and take my money at night? What was she going to
say? "How can you count, I hate counting things" and take revenge on
me by flying towards me with her broom? I used to think that it can't just get
up and leave, how will this money go away? But now, I get it.
What my grandmother was talking about was not the
decrease in quantity… It was the decrease in abundance.
Constantly counting would miss the blessing. Because
think about it, why does one always count their money? Because we are fond of
money and possessions... Since whatever we are fond of in this life escapes us,
if our thoughts are about money, it will certainly escape us. Money is not
success. Being rich is not being successful. It's just a bonus, that's all.
Real success is being able to stay in a place that is good for you. If you earn
a lot but it is not good for you, what is the point of that money? What is the
point of living in mansions after we lose our health?
My grandmother, my sweet-handed, honey-hearted... Maybe
you have passed away and you are not among us, but your words still resonate
with me... Especially in these days when everyone is very interested in
counting their possessions and showing off...
You know, one day you said to me, “Dear, I don't have
money right now. The neighbor's daughter is getting married, I heard that she
also has needs. Do you want to support?
The needs of those who
see the need are seen... If you support, there will be people who support you
in difficult times....
My grandmother gave me
this advice. Indeed, my dear grandmother, everything I gave came back to me as
a blessing. I fell too, but I was always met by people holding my hand, not by
stepping on me. How valuable it is for people to meet the needs you see in
others today and invest in their future... So how did we lose this culture,
this knowledge? We need these methods so much for life with quality...
The old generation
started to see and experience troubles in life when they were very young. Just
as today we start life at the age of 22-23, they started life at the age of
5-6. Therefore, at the age when we start from the zero point, they have already
had to find solutions to thousands of problems and become ingenious. That's
why, in older times, a 19-year-old man could get married and support his family
even though he had no father.
Moreover, he could get
along with his wife without any quarrels or noise... Because almost their
entire world was each other, and if so, their children. They had nothing else
to distract them. Of course, this strengthened their relationship.
When there were limits to
the outside, the quality inside was very different... Sharing within the family
was very different...
So what has changed now?
The perception imposed on
us today is that "if you don't wear branded underwear, you don't love
yourself"... Our entire sense of worth depends on tangible items. As such,
we have to earn a lot of money to reach this shallowness. Because this is
constantly on our mind. “It all comes down to money. "You can't be happy
if you don't have any money." This time, we work harder. Naturally, we
have a weakness for the things we work so hard for... We are people who
constantly make calculations and the more we do, the less money they can
afford...
Once upon a time, a very
knowledgeable person said:
Whatever you
chase escapes from you.
Even though we
have all the opportunities, why can't we even be self-sufficient? Isn't it
obvious? Because we chase the world, the world runs away from us. The more it
runs away, the more passionately we chase it. Until our time runs out...
The old ones knew
how to be content with little, so they would always have money to put aside.
Maybe they couldn't live like kings, but they were not helpless at all...
May everyone have the chance to be one of
those who are not fooled by the beauties that the world baits us with, and who
are chased by the world...
