Who Is Satan? Author:Gouya Roshan

 Who Is Satan?

Throughout human history, Satan has always been seen as a symbol of evil, deception, and turning away from the truth. However, in my view, Satan does not always appear with a frightening face; sometimes he wears the clothing of power and enters the world of authority under impressive names.

In my opinion, the true face of Satan is revealed when the world's superpowers wage wars for their own interests, sacrifice nations to achieve their political goals, steal the future from children, and reduce human suffering to numbers and statistics.

The real Satan is not only the one who tempts people into sin; he is also the superpower that enslaves millions through fear, poverty, war, and injustice, and then invents justifications and excuses for its actions.

The most dangerous form of evil is the one that hides behind words such as security or political decisions concerning another country. For anyone who knows they are doing wrong may one day repent. But a superpower that commits evil in the name of defense can condemn generations to suffering.

But one must ask: Are all forms of power evil? Of course not. Power, when combined with justice and responsibility toward humanity, can become a means of building rather than destroying. The problem begins when some superpowers forget the human world and place themselves above morality.

In my view, Satan appears wherever human beings become victims of profit; where the value of a human life is considered less important than a political decision, a business deal, or a military victory.

History has often shown that humanity's greatest enemy has not always been an imaginary being; it has often been those in positions of great power who have lost their conscience.

Perhaps humanity's true struggle is the struggle between power and humanity, because humanity is a garment that the superpowers and tyrants of this world cannot wear.

An Enemy May Become a Cause of Good, If God Wills

An Enemy May Become a Cause of Good, If God Wills Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) is not merely a proverb, but a reflection of deep life experience and faith. It is a saying shaped by years of human struggle, patience, and understanding. This expression suggests that life is not governed by blind chance; rather, it unfolds according to wisdom and meaning, even when events appear negative at first glance. At first, people naturally define  evil  as anything that disrupts their peace: failure, loss, rejection, opposition, or unexpected obstacles. Yet with time, many of these painful moments reveal themselves as turning points. Without certain hardships, a person might remain on the wrong path, never discover inner strength, or fail to grow emotionally and spiritually. Therefore, this proverb is not truly about an “enemy,” but about  how we perceive difficulties . The most important part of the saying lies in the phrase  “if God wills.”  This emphasizes that go...

The first forgiveness we must seek is from our own self

The first forgiveness we must seek is from our own self Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) If I were to ask forgiveness from someone in this world, I would begin with myself. Not out of selfishness, but out of honesty. Because upon closer examination, I realized that my greatest mistakes, my greatest failures, and my greatest injustices were not directed at others, but at myself. We usually understand forgiveness as a social concept; something that exists between me and another person. But we rarely consider that within ourselves, before anything else, there is a silent “other” whose rights have been violated for years: our own rights. I ask forgiveness from myself for the days when I was tired but did not allow myself to rest. For the nights when I wanted to cry but told myself I had to be “strong” and suppressed my emotions. For the times when I could have made a better decision for myself but, out of fear of others’ judgment, I did not ask for what I needed. I ask forgiveness from m...

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...
