The Best Thing for Being Sad

The Best Thing for Being Sad

“The best thing for being sad," said Merlin, 

     Merlin

"is to learn something.  That's the only thing that never fails.  You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds.  There is only one thing for it then — to learn.  Learn why the world wags and what wags it.  That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting.  Learning is the only thing for you.  Look what a lot of things there are to learn.” 

     
     T H White

This passage is found in the book 'The Once and Future King'. 

Thank you, 

Ben

2004 Soldier

2004 Soldier (Asker - in Turkish)

10 sene olmus...

Hakikatten o kadar olmusmu?

Ben 2004 senesinde 'Parali Askerlik' yaptim Burdur sehrinde.



Askerligimi 28 gun yaptim. 

Ilk gittigim gunun gecesi cok kotu idi, cok iyi hatirlarim, kendime demistim/sormustum 'Ben ne yaptim?'

Koca bir 'Gymnasium' Salonun icinde 50 kisi yatiyorduk, rahat degildi. 

Ve hersey cok degisik idi.  

Kalabalik idi, 

Hava cok sicak idi, 

Kimseyi tanimiyordum,

Cok kotu gorundu hersey, ilkbakista...

Ama son gunun gecesini hatirliyorum, ne cabuk gecti 28 gun diye dusunmustum.   

Cok guzel arkadaslar vardi ve hic bir kotu gunum yok idi diye hatirliyorum simdi geriye baktigimda.   

Tum arkadaslar ile oturup cay iciyorduk o son gece ve askerligi bir cirpida bitirdik diyorduk ve aramizda gulusuyorduk.   

Bence hayat boyle iste, zor gunler olur, iyi ve kotu gunler olur ve bir bakarsin ne cabuk gecti...dersin kendine.  

Bazi seylerden ders almak lazim diye dusunuyorum.  

Simdilik hoscakal,

Ben
