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

Image
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...

When Addiction Is Not Just a Choice

When Addiction Is Not Just a Choice   Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) Every time I see a young person caught in the grip of drugs, something inside me breaks. Not only because of what they've lost, but because of what has been stolen from them: their future, their dignity, their dreams. Addiction is not just an individual weakness; it is the result of a chain of betrayals, profiteering, and irresponsibility. The troubling question is: How can there be people who are willing to push others to the brink of destruction for their own comfort, wealth, or power? How is it possible to consciously watch the gradual death of a generation and sleep peacefully at night? A drug dealer is not just a "seller." They are a link in a chain that feeds off societal collapse. Every package sold is not just a substance; it is a hope that fades, a family that breaks apart, and a society that bears deeper wounds. On the other hand, the consumer cannot be solely blamed either. Many of these y...

Betrayal: A Mirror of Inner Collapse

Image
Betrayal: A Mirror of Inner Collapse Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) Betrayal is a complex issue that takes different forms in different societies. Many people associate betrayal with the violation of emotional or sexual trust (infidelity), but in reality, it has much broader dimensions and can manifest itself in various ways. In this article, I aim to show that betrayal is not limited to emotional or sexual relationships, but also affects various aspects of social, familial, professional, and even personal life. Betrayal in interpersonal relationships is one of the most serious forms of betrayal. This occurs when someone abuses another person’s trust within a relationship. Betrayal can appear in various forms such as lying, engaging in illicit relationships, ignoring the feelings and needs of others, or betraying friendships and close relationships. This type of betrayal can be extremely damaging because every relationship is built on trust. Losing this trust can lead to the destru...

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...

When Humanity Cries Out

Image
When Humanity Cries Out Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) Humanity collapses when the suffering of the oppressed is merely  spoken about  but does not lead to resistance—when insidious fear replaces justice. And when fear silences us, it is no longer a personal feeling; it becomes a form of injustice. The voice of the oppressed demands no religion, no name, and recognizes no borders. Whether Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or a follower of any other faith, the oppressed are simply oppressed. To be human means listening to the call of conscience, setting aside fear, and understanding that silence in the face of oppression is involuntary complicity. Of course, we cannot judge people’s intentions or thoughts; only God knows who is truly good and who is not. But when we witness how Christians, Muslims, and other religious minorities in India are systematically suppressed and brutally persecuted by extremist groups, silence is no longer neutrality. Silence itself becomes a horrific in...

Love and Compassion in Our Lives, Not in Death

Image
  Love and Compassion in Our Lives, Not in Death Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) We won't have any feelings after death. Therefore, to neglect someone who is still alive and not appreciate their value is one of the cruelest things in the world. This might seem harsh, but in reality, people often don't appreciate each other's value while they are alive. It is only when they lose someone that they realize their importance and worth. However, in truth, there is nothing more painful than ignoring someone while they are alive. In today’s fast-paced and crowded world, many of us think we have endless time and that tomorrow will be an opportunity to make up for our past mistakes. But in reality, no one can be certain of the future. Death can come suddenly and peacefully, and in the process, relationships that could have been better are ended, and opportunities to express true feelings are lost. Personally, I have put a lot of effort throughout my life into improving my relation...

A world with less judgment and more understanding.

A world with less judgment and more understanding. Author: Güya Roshan(Guya Aydın ) The difference between a human and an animal is neither in the body nor in physical strength; The true distinction lies in behavior and manners. A person is recognized by their morals, by how they treat others, not by what they appear to be on the outside. I love humans. And I wish that everyone could benefit from conditions that they truly deserve; Not just from bread, But from security, respect, and being heard. Who is guilty and who is good? Only God knows. We, as humans, should be more careful than judges; mindful of our language, our judgments, and our actions that may cause wounds that are never seen. Yes, I wish everyone had such a perspective. A world with less judgment and more understanding. A world where people pause before judging and truly seek to understand. A human can survive on dry bread; The body endures, but when your voice is unheard, A deeper wound forms; one that is neither seen no...
