III) Good morning
“You are right when you say that everyone
has to fight this battle themselves, but the biggest step is probably not
even self-emancipation.” - “How do you understand that? Isn't everyone his
greatest obstacle for themselves?” - “It makes a difference whether someone
helps you, behaves indifferently or puts obstacles in your way. Very many who
have made the leap from darkness into freedom are proud and happy to stand
above others, no longer to be the last, and very careful to maintain their
position against everything that strives from below upwards, they would have
no chance of protecting against the superiors anyway. Everyone has the wish
to be something better than the next.” - “You are not a psychologist, but you
are a very good observer. This description also applies to Turkish society.
As if they all needed a ranking, a hierarchy." - "If you cannot
determine yourself with or in yourself, you start making comparisons." -
"Then, you base your self-determination on the oppression of others
because of a lack of self-confidence." - “How to get someone to think
and act independently? How was that with you?” - “It is not enough to behave
liberally towards others. Basically, liberalism only consists of not dealing
with others. You have to give them the opportunity to develop themselves. You
need to make them aware of what they are capable of. For example, various
teachers have helped me. That was a lot of work with small steps and
successes. They helped me to slowly build up my confidence." - "Hm!
Liberalism was initially a freedom movement against the nobility and nouveau
riche citizens and outdated social norms. In all areas of science, art,
economy and so on.” - “They did not hinder others, but they did not try to
help others either. They all sprinted up the mountain, some were successful.
But they left the masses behind and lost contact with them.” - “And so then the
populists came who instilled some hope in these left-behind-people in the
form of ideological nonsense.” - “I know what you think. You too are
disappointed. Not because you were left behind, but because you don't feel
like dealing with others. Actually, you're lazy and only want to spend your
time doing things that inspire you. But you cannot exclude yourself, even if
you were to hide on a deserted island.” - “What should I do? Start a
revolution?” - “You are not an egoist, just a recluse, you like to talk to
people, you get your ideas from these conversations and observations, but you
need a lot of time for yourself. You cannot start a family, for that you are not
the right one. You were born to be a light in the distance, a symbol.” - “You
are at least as good an observer as I am. But what do you want with me then?”
- “I don't want to get you to marry me, or me marry you. I'll find someone
else for that. But before I decide on one, I still need a little lesson, hope
and light. Maybe I will raise my child or children alone.” - “Would that be
the result of my liberalism? In the end, people would live and die alone.” - “I
don't see the whole thing or the future so black. It is natural in the great
apes that there is one male that all females follow. In Nepal, several men
have a wife together because this is the only way to feed her as life
conditions are too hard. But only since people have had the opportunity to
withdraw, to reflect, and then to come back together with others to exchange
these thoughts, does development progress ever faster. He sits like a chicken
on his ideas and hatches them. But of course people have to get used to it
first.” - “Well, they have got used to living in the village, later in the city
or in the state. Natural or normal is what we have right now. Today's person
would perish mentally in a medieval society."
"But tell me! You want to
raise your children alone, live alone. That almost sounds like an
emancipation!” - “If I didn't know you so well, I might be disappointed now.
In a liberal society, everyone can live as they please. One is homosexual,
the other needs a submissive woman, or she needs a real macho who really
spanks her ass every night. Everyone should get what they want. Especially
from the new, Eastern European member states, there are a great number of
both men and women. The women of these countries adapt better to the new
environment, realising very quickly that the Western European man usually
does not want an overall emancipated woman, but also does not want a slave.
The Eastern European man, on the other hand, seems to have learned nothing. I
can no longer criticise Goethe when two hundred years ago in his Faust he had
him say: “Dear Margaret, if you don't want to, I'll use force!” Mainly
because he probably only wanted to express that he desired her more than
everything else, but would never hurt her. These men from Eastern Europe, on
the other hand, do not even try to understand the local women and are
outraged when they are rejected. Then, they tell all kinds of nonsense about western
women. It goes from 'they're prudish' to 'they don't even know what a real
family is.'” - “But what kind of solution do you see?” - “Of course you would
like to leave everything behind and just get out. But there you can be sure
that it will catch up with you. The most extreme are clashes between
different ethnic groups. There are ghettos in many cities and countries. The
rich and middle-class don't go there because they're afraid. In their own
neighbourhoods, they have cameras and security guards on every corner. They
spend their days there, like in a luxury prison, and do not notice that it is
no longer good for them either.”
