Success, Power And The Real Needs Of Humanity: What Can We Learn From History?

Accomplished: Abdulhamid II And Impossible Decisions

Abdulhamid II was a Muslim emperor of the Ottoman Empire. However, there was a problem. There were many wars everywhere in his vast lands, and he needed more and more soldiers for these wars. The soldiers were young and unhappy. They desired to marry, but war was inevitable. They were fighting and returning to Istanbul. Women lived in certain streets in Istanbul where they were sold to desperate and tired soldiers. Abdulhamid II, with a broken heart, had to officialize this.

Well, did this officialization work? No. Some women sellers never disclosed the locations of women with sexually transmitted diseases. Soldiers transmitted syphilis to each other and their health deteriorated. Many young soldiers became unable to fight on the fronts. Abdulhamid II wanted to be accomplished together with his soldiers while sacrificing his religious values.

I want to accentuate a very important issue: We cannot see anyone as guilty; for example, Abdulhamid II also had to make decisions similar to the things mentioned above, contradicting his own values, sacrificing one part of society for the other to live, just like other emperors, kings, tsars, and the Medici family.

We cannot say that this religion is better than the other or this race is better than the other either. We do not live under the sacred law. We live in a world where if you are an emperor, you cannot survive unless you do things like the ones mentioned above. Abdulhamid II was not given the chance to live like ordinary people. No one gave him the guarantee of food, safe shelter, and the "love your neighbor as yourself" education. On the contrary, an auditing ability that he always tried to dominate and that was not possible with the technology of that period was expected of him. Can you feel the weight of his responsibility on your own shoulders?

The Lack Of Empathy And The Illusion Of Leadership

We want to educate our children like tsars, kings, and queens, but without empathy. We instill in millions of children to be emperors, kings, or CEOs, and only a few dozen people can reach this desire every half century. To the remaining millions of people, we say: “God did not choose you, your destiny is bad, or you have no leadership ability. Therefore, you became an unsuccessful, unemployed, and ordinary person!” We cannot expect them to be loving and empathetic people. For example, Ivan the Terrible was throwing dogs and cats from the Kremlin walls when he was a child, but no one told him to stop. Ivan the Terrible was a child, but he did not have the ability to make the right decisions (reasoning). Eventually, in a moment of madness, he killed his own son.

If we are going to blame someone, we can blame Abdulhamid II's inner circle. They educated him as a religious emperor; they told him, "Every woman is a potential mother, and adultery is a great sin according to our religion. If someone allows adultery, even if they have not committed adultery themselves, they are treated like the person who did it."

Can you imagine Abdulhamid II's feelings? Can you imagine how he was forced during his decision to officialize this bad thing? His inner circle wanted him to be accomplished at all costs. Furthermore, Ivan the Terrible was applauded while throwing animals down from the high walls of the Kremlin. Some noble men and women even declared him to be an accomplished tsar.

Accomplishment: True Success Is Meeting The Three Basic Needs

We feel that our lives are incredible accomplishments when we attain the three basic needs. Nicholas lived in Istanbul during the reign of Abdulhamid II and obtained two of the three basic needs by selling women. What was missing? He felt very successful, whereas some women got sick and even died due to bad living conditions. What was missing? Nicholas had not received the "love your neighbor as yourself" education, which is the meaning of life. In this case, he could sell bodies like a piece of meat.

Our three basic needs never change and are common for all of us. Nicholas, Nicholas's women, Abdulhamid II, Ivan the Terrible, Trump, Putin, you or me... each of us only needs three basic needs and they cannot be separated from each other. Especially the third need: the "love your neighbor as yourself" education as a sacred law. There is only one common rule in all religions: "love your neighbor as yourself."

It is enough for a group of people to come together for this purpose. They can decide to create food forests on the cemeteries of war soldiers, Ivan the Terrible's, and Nicholas's victims. They can decide to grow edible plants on earth from east to west for all humanity. They can create social media platforms full of examples of the implementation of the sacred law. Camera tracking systems can be used to control the incredible accomplishment of this new "love your neighbor as yourself" system and to intervene with robot technology when necessary.

We only need a group of people who set a good example, using plows and robot tractors to feed all humanity. They are the sacred generation. People belonging to the sacred generation have only one purpose: to gift the guarantee of the three basic needs to all humanity.

Accord: Lessons To Be Learned From The Tragedy Of Ivan The Terrible

Ivan the Terrible had some interesting, violent desires. For example, he wanted to kick his son's wife even though she was pregnant. He wanted to kick her abdomen and his son tried to stop his father. Ivan the Terrible went crazy. He took an iron stick and hit the young man's head. He was the eldest son of the Rurik dynasty.

Why was he suddenly so angry? His son's wife was pregnant and very tired because of the rules of the Kremlin Palace. Before Ivan the Terrible came to her room, she could not put on the traditional Russian clothes she had to wear in layers and get ready. Ivan saw her in a thin nightgown. According to his religious education and official administration, this was not an acceptable thing. Who had the nerve to disrupt the order of the palace? How could the wife of his son, whom he raised to accord a supreme authority like the tsardom, act against Catholic values? He wanted to beat his pregnant daughter-in-law with the same iron stick he hit his son's head with. Ivan the Terrible's daughter-in-law lost her baby. Ivan the Terrible could not accord the tsardom to his son, the last member of the dynasty, because he also hit his head with the same iron stick and killed him.

Why do we explain these details? We do not have to experience the same events in every era, in every country, or under every government. We have cameras for monitoring and we have the technology to feed and shelter everyone on earth. What is missing? Only our desire, friends; only our strong desires are missing to live under the sacred law named "love your neighbor as yourself".
