Confucious

Bazen birikmiş o kadar çok şey vardır ki, nereden başlayacağınızı bilemediğinizden hiç bir şey söyleyemezsiniz. Bütün dallarınız kırılmış; hedefiniz, rehberiniz gözden uzaklaşmıştır. Buram buram bir sızı yükselir gönlünüzden. Her an daha da daralan nefesiniz yetmez bu sis perdesini dağıtmaya. Bir el, sevgi dolu bir el yok muydu karşılıksız uzanan diye şaşakalırsınız. Koca bir hüzün, çöktükçe genleşir içinizde, kendini yok edecek bir yanardağ gibi, sessizce ve derinden…

My dear friend, the burden of accumulated possessions and responsibilities can indeed be overwhelming at times. It is not uncommon to feel lost and unsure of where to even begin when faced with such a daunting task. It is as if all the branches of a tree have been broken, leaving you without direction or guidance. In moments like these, a deep ache may rise in your heart, suffocating your very being. Each breath feels constricted, unable to dispel the fog that clouds your mind. In moments of despair, you may find yourself questioning the absence of a helping hand, a gesture of pure love extended without any expectations in return. The weight of sorrow, expanding within you like a dormant volcano, threatens to consume you silently and profoundly. In these dark moments, it is important to remember that even the strongest storm eventually passes, leaving behind a clearer sky. Hold onto hope, my friend, for it is in the darkest of moments that the light of resilience shines the brightest. Take solace in the knowledge that even the most shattered pieces can be put back together, and that with time and perseverance, clarity will once again guide you towards your true purpose.
