RISE UP, VALIANT ONE, STOP SLEEPING!
RISE UP, BECAUSE MY HEART IS LAMENTING…
DURING THE DAYS HAVING PASSED WITHOUT YOU,
I WENT BACK OVER THE YESTERDAYS,
GRIEVING ALL THE WHILE, AND SADDENED SINCE YOU HAD DESERTED YOUR COUNTRY.
composed by the recital Mukhtar and voiced with sentient chants, Broken Plectrum (Kırık Mızrap) is very meaningful and very valuable to two or three generations. From childhood onwards, bychance with the ones you meet on a occasion, at home, sometimes at the table of ground, sometimes at the Makbule meal, sometimes in the kitchen washing dishes, sometimes helping with weekly cleaning, sometimes at weekends or holidays, these nameses that you listen to alone in your mind and mind for a whole lifetime.
You have brothers, they have also brothers too… You see this as a relay race, and you have a mission to take the community flag and deliver it to future generations, like those who have brought it to this day. You draw an idol person with community recipes/definitions, and take examples of the brothers who near you as a role model. 5 days a week, sometimes 6 days a week, life in that house is the most attractive lifestyle for you. And eventually, you want your college years to come as soon as possible to be “brother”, to teach students and to tell them “community”.
You have learned that being a “great man” has been through great sacrifices. For instance family, friends, childhood, youth, so basically you’re supposed to sacrifice all your life. In this respect, you miss the school which you are a student of, you can not attend classes, you limit your academic education to the study in exam periods. You have responsibilities at home, in the neighborhood/region where you stay, and you’re being put on. The main pillar of “the house” is students which sometimes starting from primary school, going to the end of high school.
Middle school third-graders are the pupils and assolists of community and district/region. They are the greatest interest and labor. It’s not easy, they’ve been chosen through the many qualifiers. Their course notes, families, hometowns, sociological belongings, secular/ethnic differences, occupations of their immediate relatives, whether their health status is of certain qualities been reviewed. Sometimes a teacher/assistant manager at school, sometimes a tradesman (esnaf) who goes to conversations, sometimes a neighbor, sometimes a classmate, sometimes a level-setting exam tool of community course helps you meet with them. And then you have to convince the student and his family. You’re a religious, respectful, intelligent young man for his family. They trust you, they give up their children. Sometimes free lessons are moral motivation, but eventually they all love you and listen.
After a year you work day and night to instill a new identity a new soul fort the students. The curriculum is clear, weekly and mountly topics are clear which concepts will be processed through which articles or books. It is a very scientific and formulated system which is not possible to produce an incorrect product from this mechanism. Mistakes belong to you. You process with the sensitivity of a jeweler and expect it to always turn towards the sun and lead a sun-dependent life, just like the sunflower that grows and blooms. The sun is the community, your neck is twisted without community and you can’t breathe without it. This is how you have been taught, and there is no way out of it.
The aim is to prepare for exams. Science High School/Anatolian High School is the showcase of the business. Since the student has not yet reached the consistency and consciousness, you want from them apply for the military school and police college exams with the “you have tried yourself, they are good schools” at the time of application. Then you should find a reasonable explanation for each question from the student and family. The family does not object to your advice, thanks to your family visits at the latest every month during the year.
As the exam approaches, if you now have a very successful student, you don’t want him to win the Fen/Anatolian exams. But sometimes both the student and her family may not want to win the military school. In this process, you drown the student in concepts such as self-sacrifice and litigation. Because God does not give a burden to anyone more than he/she can carry.
Thanks to the suggestions like “These (military) schools are the most important schools in the country, and there should be religious people here, who defend their homeland, and if I had the opportunity, I would choose these schools without hesitation” the student now accepts entering the military school as the sole purpose of her life. He will overcome all obstacles himself.
In all of the written exams, interviews, health and registration stages, there are all possible problems and solutions. Your job is only just to be like the shadow of the student. And when all the stages are over and the school is ready to attend, you can tell them that from the religious environment in schools, from moral weaknesses, he should continue to meet with you and how vital it is to meet on weekends.
You tell him about precautions, tayammum, prayer by implication, what he/she should/not do at school, what activity he/she participates in, and the opinion formed about him/her at school on weekends. Also you present the unknown to him. Being able to reach this unknown easily / effortlessly both connects the student to the interviews and lays the foundation of a paranoia that will last for years; “What is my status at school/profession? Do they know me?” Such questions will gnaw at his head.
These weekend meetings which are customary from high school years, will continue when he starts his career at the military school. Service has become their life now. They will do anything good or bad fort he community.
In my opinion, in this “community” structure, of which hundreds of thousands of people are members/sympathizers, the most pathetic and helpless ones are those children who have gone through these processes. It is a near-impossible miracle that they can get out of this wheel, which they find themselves as cogs, as an “individual”, sometimes due to financial impossibility and sometimes family sociology at a young age. These people, who lived their whole lives for a single thought, burned themselves, their loved ones and their families in pursuit of the so-called sun.
May they find the sun of “truth” and even “themselves”.
