A reply on Conversation: How could we relate to the world around us without the concept of time?
A comment on Conversation: How could we relate to the world around us without the concept of time?
I think the only thing which balances timelessnes is `heart`. A heart's stop working is equal to moment without time.
We should live heart-centered to make our lives to produce somethings which could exist in the time tunnel.
Do you need a starting step? Just look at people(strangers to you) eyes and do some favor to him/her without response/expectations. You'll get your response from the time tunnel endlessly.
A comment on Conversation: What can we do, as citizens to promote tolerance in our daily lives ?
So, there's no need to hurt people(no matter if they are close people or stranger). I do this.
If you don't want to keep silence? Use the brain which your creator putted it on the top point of your body,
Did you see any other Turkish people around who talk in my style of thought? So, make some creative steps and people start following your behaviour. Like the way I do now...
And never forget my motto: `Your tolerance to other people's worths, draws down your country's borders.`
Thanks;

A comment on Conversation: What poems are most powerful to you?
From "Low Love" for a worldly(open to death) reason or creature or "Deep Love" for something some everlasting reason(something cover all world people, all creatures or directly cover all the reasons/creator).
Most powerful poems are Deep ones for sure(my personal opinion=]).
Dear administration could I use a link to show some examples?
I want to share one powerful poems owner who was "2007 Year of Mevlana" on all the earth by UNESCO. Just take a look to the poems on the page is quite enough to inspire you:

A comment on Conversation: How might a person step into the shoes of an "anti-American terrorist" and NOT be labeled "anti-American"?
If you enable me to take a breath(to take a bite from my land's own resources like my culture, my history, my natural resources), I could join you as a citizen of United Republics of Euroasia = ]
What's wrong with America? Nothing. I guess what America do now is (you know in the timeline one go to the top, when it feel the capableness, it want the top/superpower lifetime period to be extended ) to extend the being superpower period of time. There are calculations. There should be analyzes which shows the reality on its own which Ottomans faced with beforeward them.
Creating terrorist leaders, capturing leaders, resulting to the death of some USA or non-USA citizens, killing those terrorist leaders, making yellow journalism, etc... is open to discussion.
What I think is that "Yaratılanı severiz, yaratandan ötürü." which is a saying of Mevlana. The conclusion is that; yesterday or today or tomorrow. Time and superpowers always open to change. There is no need to result to some enmity or terror or yellow journalism or discomfort any people from any nation/belief..
A comment on Conversation: Nuclear Energy: Given what has happened in history and the current energy crisis, does it have a future?
TED wanted me to clarify my idea? Okey. I could do this.
I meant that, we just born on Japan or USA or Turkey or somewhere else. It wasn't our choice not to face with such a disaster in Japan in place of the ones who died or survived.
So; Japanese citizen, the people who want Japan nation to rise on the earth make investments on those `Japan` lands. Even they do know that Japan is in an earthquike zone. And the disaster is the result...
I believe that the frontiers/borders going to be removed in the near future(not only ) and some portable/movable organizations like "diaspora"s going to represent those nations/countries. I mean the way like Israelian or Armenian Diasporas. Armenian Diaspora>Republic of Armenia. What I mean is that, as a result of globalization, world communities going to be closer and closer.(EU,SSSR,USA,Ottomans etc. are just like the beginning of this globalization process.)
Restricting world communities with borders is outdated. We are not in stone age. Locations around the ecuador, earthquike areas or in other dangerous zones are not convenient for a living environment. So, human intelligence going to find a solution for those problematic areas like Africa or Japan in the near future and it will be a stable solution for future Nuclear Crises or Nuclear Disasters.
So, Japanese is going to be free to rise his nation from a more health lands. Wars and enmity is going to decrease. With this, nuclear crises and disasters risks going to decrease. World is going to be powerful and more 1ited.
A comment on Conversation: How do we kill 'islamophobia' and 'anti-Semitism'?
A reply on Conversation: What did you do to not to born as a citizen of a country which you call as "enemy"?
But I try to explain with examples that what I tried to tell with my question:
1)Amily(you) was born* in China.
2)You grow up in China.
3)You internalized most of the things(almost %100) what your Chinese geographical location expressed for you.
4)After a while; you had beloved ones/things, radical thoughts(positive and negative), enemies, habits(good and bad), etc. everything...
5)And now, you confront with someone else(for example now,me) and you have the differences with this person.
Result: What I say is that all what you feel is only related with where you *BORN in.
And the problem is, you didn't choose where to born your ownself.
And it's really and completely a big nonsense to have an "ENMITY" feeling to someone else. Because you know the reason.
The differences(reasons which force you to have radical negative feelings) originate only from where you were born in;
It is your geographical location. And some other people who realize what I mean uses(exploits) your emotions and weak/vulnerable points to earn some worldly(fame,money,etc.) income.
Did you get it?
A comment on Conversation: Why is it racism is put on a higher pedestal for hatred than sexism?
Number of Races>Number of Sexes
If some doctors invent 2 hearted human in close future, the hatred between people have 2hearts and normal ones will be more pedestal than sexism.
Even they try to create marketing purposed 2+ sexes, the number will never be more than races.
It's all about 1ity. The closer to one is always better and less hatred.
A comment on Conversation: What did you do to not to born as a citizen of a country which you call as "enemy"?
Amily;I think every language has an equal of the word"enemy"in it's literature.But Iquited using the1inTurkish which's called as"düşman".&I don't call my way of thought as a`good idea`.Because I even don't call it as an"idea".I think it can't be&"ideation".It's just a lifestyle&you can`only`live it.
Why? Do Uinterested in why do I think like this?Because, if U're not able2live it, it's impossible it2 survive as an"idea"in ur mind.Because nearly all of us've 1s which/who we call asThe enemies ofOur`family`,our`nation`,our religion,etc.&there're many events which happened in the past which could pulsate our/ur brain&destroy this idea.Why'd we erase the word enmity from our lives if there some people still exist who did something bad2 peopleWho we give worth?Because we didn't choose it ownselves2be like that.
So,we'd justPlace it inThe middleOf our life &start lookingAround &2other parts of the world from this aspect.
I also thinkThat,the world's existance's somewhere between my way of thought &the end of life(some religious thoughts call the end as doom's day).
`We cruise all2gether from1,2pieces.`
I askUall(as it seemsOnly3people interested in to this)only that what did U do2 not 2 born as someone differentThan me?SomewhereAway from me?
As I c in life,nearly everyone(not all) has something/someone to show hatred to."What did you do2 not2 be in place of some1/something which Ucall as enemy"s the simple question. PleaseTell yourThoughts inAsimpleWay.Explain&expand it.
IJust sawMr.Jasper's question & I guess I've already answered it2.
NowI'm expanding my question more.
U/We come2world.Open our eyes.Time passes.Now;you have that way of lifestye & thoughts,&I've this way of1s.What's the difference?I call all the differences as1difference:
"geographical location"Why?
Because it'sAll bcauseOf it.It's so simple.Just look around.Did Uchoose the borders of ur country urself?DidUchoose the country urself?Ur skin?UrReligion?Ur`enemies`?Which? NOW time2answr! = ]
