In Search Of Humanity

Turkey was hit hard by a series of earthquakes. Ten thousand buildings collapsed, and 50,000+ people were trapped under the rubble.

It was the most challenging week of my “SEOs Diners Club” newsletter, which I have been publishing every Sunday for about a year. I could publish a newsletter even when I was caught in Covid, my voice was hoarse, and I was out of my head.

However, the earthquake disaster we experienced in Turkey this week shook me deeply. All week I've been trying to help and follow the relief efforts.

We are trying to heal our wounds after this painful earthquake disaster that we are experiencing with sadness. I wish mercy to those who lost their lives and condolences to their families. I wish a speedy recovery to those who were injured. I congratulate the rescue teams and everyone who collected and distributed aid. On this occasion, we have again seen that we can provide more aid if we act together.

Unfortunately, the fact that we are unprepared for an earthquake has emerged. Our safety of life and property is the most important thing, but this issue has never been our priority. In the following period, earthquake mitigation works and preparations should be prioritized.

We are in the middle of a critical test phase as a society. Our reactions to complex conditions reveal our true nature. Do we adopt a nihilistic point of view by saying, "let things happen," or do we act with the welfare of future generations in mind?

It is important to remember: "The steps we take now will shape our future. Life may present us with challenges, but how we respond, whether we see it as free will or freedom of choice, is entirely up to us. We live with the consequences of our choices.

I have dedicated this week's SEOs Diners Club to the charity work I have noticed on Social Media. Maybe you will be aware of the charities you have not noticed before. I request your support.
