Struggle

When we are really happy, what really are we? When we are broken, what are we? When we can’t stand up once more, what are we? We are human.
We are human and human is all we will ever be. And what happens is the same outside. We fight for something, but are fighting everyday for everything. And this Fighting is what makes us human. To imagine a perfect world, a world without pain, without war, without disease- a world without suffering… That world, that time, is the time when we cease to be human. It is the mistakes that have made us and it is the mistakes that will banish us. And as the time and world goes by in a maelstrom, the Fighting calms. Like the calm before a storm, our Fighting moves on a placid current, with nothing to hear but the sounds of nature around. The creaking of wood, the smell of rain, the voice of dew and the silence of pain. The Fighting undergoes a change. It becomes many layered, but weirdly silent; silent like an artist painting. And as so, the fighting continues, perfecting its art with each master stroke. One day, the masters of old give it a chance at real sight. A chance at blindness. This blindness isn’t the loss of sight. It is the true sight.
Beethoven’s best masterpieces were made after he lost the power of hearing. The old master illustrators of Istanbul and Afghan have always believed that it is blindness that is a blessing to them to be able to see in the way of their Almighty, Allah. When a person does what he/she does with dedication, with the sweat of their brows and bent backs, they lose that sense which they use the most in the performance of their art. But that loss of sense is the true sight, by which they will be able to ascend to a greater sense which is incomprehensible through just words. And the topic of our conversation, Fighting, will also ascend this height, embracing newer methods while reinforcing the old ones. But one day, Fighting will have a night when sleeping will be close to impossible. A night when it will cry over a very stupid thing… Something as stupid as an entity admonishing it. And that night it will lay down its weapons and give up the fight. That night it won’t care about the millions of bombs and machine guns rattling around it, obliterating everything around it. All it will do is walk silently, magnificently, powerfully to the place it needs to be… As the dark cloud arrives, the crowd caves in, and there is lightning all around, it will walk. Step, by step. And that night everything will change. That night, Fighting will be revealed. Not as Fighting, but as the Struggle of the outside mirroring the inside. That Struggle J lets just say it will give us goosebumps :D

Same But Different

Isn't life funny. Isn't it strange. Everyone's different. But no-one likes change. Some folk are open. Some maybe shy. Some folk are honest. Some of them lie. Some of us rich. Some of us poor.

I know sometimes we think too much, Some shallow ideas and thoughts. Deeply Philosophical are most of them, Like Confucius and Marx.

Cogs

Little silver cogs, They turn and turn and turn. Working what's inside, Making the little clock work. The small hands they move in tandem, They know where to point and go.

Just One

Lonely in the midst of faces, A moving, dynamic crowd, Surrounded by talk and chatter, Some looking sad, some proud, Walking, side by side - connecting.

Risk And Reward

When the result is the same, However you play. Where is the game. What price will you pay. Success is forbidden, Lose, lose is my choice. I'll stand in my corner, And not use my voice.

Insanity is humanity, We are completely mad. We fight through the night, Until we don't feel bad. We make and we break, Some incredible inventions. And map lovely apps, that deserve way more mentions.
