Some People's Ears Are Warehouses of Information

Some People's Ears Are Warehouses of Information

Some people have ears, but their ears are not a home for understanding; they are warehouses of information. They listen to use what they hear—not to understand it, but to store it, recycle it, and spend one day against you.

These are the people who appear calm. They nod, and sometimes even smile. But deep inside, they do not see you as someone who deserves to be understood; they see you as a source of material to talk about.

You open your heart, believing you are in the safest place. What you don't realize is that your words may return tomorrow through someone else's mouth, polished and embellished—not to help you, not out of compassion, but to control you, gain power over you, or make you feel smaller.

These listeners are among the most dangerous kinds of people. They don't shout; They remain silent so they can collect everything.

Your pain is not sacred to them—it is a resource. They archive your mistakes, mark your weaknesses, and when the time is right, they present them as "the truth about you."

The bitterest part is this: you think you have built a relationship, when in reality, you have only handed over information.

These people are not loyal; they are efficient. They stay beside you as long as your words are useful to them. And the day there is nothing left to gain—or worse, the day they discover something they can use against you—that same silence becomes a weapon.

Trust, when given carelessly, does not merely become naïveté; it becomes evidence against you.

So the issue is not speaking less. The issue is knowing who you are speaking to.

Because some people have ears but no conscience, no heart. And in a world filled with cruelty and moral emptiness, every word you speak may one day be used as evidence against you.

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...
