Betrayal: A Mirror of Inner Collapse

Betrayal: A Mirror of Inner Collapse Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) Betrayal is a complex issue that takes different forms in different societies. Many people associate betrayal with the violation of emotional or sexual trust (infidelity), but in reality, it has much broader dimensions and can manifest itself in various ways. In this article, I aim to show that betrayal is not limited to emotional or sexual relationships, but also affects various aspects of social, familial, professional, and even personal life. Betrayal in interpersonal relationships is one of the most serious forms of betrayal. This occurs when someone abuses another person’s trust within a relationship. Betrayal can appear in various forms such as lying, engaging in illicit relationships, ignoring the feelings and needs of others, or betraying friendships and close relationships. This type of betrayal can be extremely damaging because every relationship is built on trust. Losing this trust can lead to the destru...

From Flesh and Nail to Numbers

From Flesh and Nail to Numbers Author: Gouya Roshan  (Güya Aydın)  A Reflection on the Collapse of Human Bonds in the Age of Materialism My words may sound bitter and thought-provoking. Yet I am speaking of a rift that has slowly and silently opened its mouth between people; a rift that has deepened not through conflict, but through numbers and prices. The very bonds that were once considered “natural” and inseparable are now bending under the weight of calculations. The tragedy lies not in money itself being inherently bad, but in the moment it becomes the measure of human value, because then, it destroys relationships. Today, materialism is the dominant word. It has always been said that flesh and nail are inseparable, siblings, mother and child. Bonds that should be unbreakable are now gradually collapsing under the influence of economic standards and material values. It seems we have forgotten that money implicitly makes this separation possible. If only the world had deve...

When Humanity Cries Out

Image
When Humanity Cries Out Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) Humanity collapses when the suffering of the oppressed is merely  spoken about  but does not lead to resistance—when insidious fear replaces justice. And when fear silences us, it is no longer a personal feeling; it becomes a form of injustice. The voice of the oppressed demands no religion, no name, and recognizes no borders. Whether Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or a follower of any other faith, the oppressed are simply oppressed. To be human means listening to the call of conscience, setting aside fear, and understanding that silence in the face of oppression is involuntary complicity. Of course, we cannot judge people’s intentions or thoughts; only God knows who is truly good and who is not. But when we witness how Christians, Muslims, and other religious minorities in India are systematically suppressed and brutally persecuted by extremist groups, silence is no longer neutrality. Silence itself becomes a horrific in...

Love and Compassion in Our Lives, Not in Death

Image
  Love and Compassion in Our Lives, Not in Death Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) We won't have any feelings after death. Therefore, to neglect someone who is still alive and not appreciate their value is one of the cruelest things in the world. This might seem harsh, but in reality, people often don't appreciate each other's value while they are alive. It is only when they lose someone that they realize their importance and worth. However, in truth, there is nothing more painful than ignoring someone while they are alive. In today’s fast-paced and crowded world, many of us think we have endless time and that tomorrow will be an opportunity to make up for our past mistakes. But in reality, no one can be certain of the future. Death can come suddenly and peacefully, and in the process, relationships that could have been better are ended, and opportunities to express true feelings are lost. Personally, I have put a lot of effort throughout my life into improving my relation...

A world with less judgment and more understanding.

A world with less judgment and more understanding. Author: Güya Roshan(Guya Aydın ) The difference between a human and an animal is neither in the body nor in physical strength; The true distinction lies in behavior and manners. A person is recognized by their morals, by how they treat others, not by what they appear to be on the outside. I love humans. And I wish that everyone could benefit from conditions that they truly deserve; Not just from bread, But from security, respect, and being heard. Who is guilty and who is good? Only God knows. We, as humans, should be more careful than judges; mindful of our language, our judgments, and our actions that may cause wounds that are never seen. Yes, I wish everyone had such a perspective. A world with less judgment and more understanding. A world where people pause before judging and truly seek to understand. A human can survive on dry bread; The body endures, but when your voice is unheard, A deeper wound forms; one that is neither seen no...

The Soil Never Forgets a Seed

Image
  The Soil Never Forgets a Seed Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) The soil never forgets a seed. Sometimes the harvest is not immediate; yet the soil never forgets what is sown. Life resembles a field in which every person, consciously or unconsciously, plants seeds every day: the seed of a word, the seed of an action, the seed of an intention. Some of these seeds sprout quickly and reveal themselves before long; others remain in the soil’s silence, buried beneath layers of time, and emerge when conditions are ripe. Human beings are often impatient. They want to see results at once; they do good and expect an immediate return, or they make a mistake and hope to pay its price right away. But life does not operate according to human logic. The soil does not recognize our calendar. Rain does not fall when we expect it to, but when it is needed. Many disappointments arise precisely from this point: from believing that one’s kindness has gone unnoticed, or that others’ wrongdoing has g...

Rights of Others: Not Just Money

Image
  Rights of Others: Not Just Money  Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) The  concept of “rights of others” (Haq al-Nas) has deep roots in religious and ethical teachings. Unfortunately, today many people perceive it only in material terms. People often assume that failing to return someone’s money or taking someone else’s property constitutes a violation of others’ rights—and nothing more. In reality, the concept is much broader and encompasses all our actions, words, and even decisions toward others. The trust of society, the efforts and labor of people, their peace and security, and even the moral and psychological impact of our behavior are all part of others’ rights. For example, breaking promises, revealing secrets, or humiliating and insulting others—even if these actions involve no financial loss—still violate others’ rights. Limiting the concept of rights of others to financial matters greatly diminishes its true significance. Rights of others are not confined to m...
