When talking about the \u201cstarvation line\u201d<\/strong>, I raised a question: What is the limit of \u201cSatiety\u201d<\/strong>?<\/p>\n Let me make myself a bit clearer: Because if this society keeps silent about the \u201cgreedy\u201d<\/strong>, those hungry will never get their turn. I\u2019m not talking about having a full stomach. ***<\/p>\n A friend of mine visiting from abroad, asked me the following question after spending a few nights out: ***<\/p>\n And also, if we\u2019re wining and dining every night, it’s generally because we are trying to drown our sorrows (!)<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n Writer Besim F. Dellao\u011flu says, \u201cSocieties which don\u2019t produce enough, which don\u2019t produce qualitatively, are societies which suffer from a low level of creativity\u201d<\/strong>…<\/p>\n In another article of his, he makes the following assessment: \u201cSocieties which are too content with their ethnic identity, their religion, their religious sect and their ideology, in other words, if their identities surpass their personalities, such societies also suffer from a lack of creativity.\u201d \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n We live in a place where those who consume outnumber those who produce. ***<\/p>\n If we were to quote Besim F. Dellalo\u011flu again… ***<\/p>\n We\u2019ve learned where the starvation line stands.
\n\u201cThe threshold of Greed.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nPoverty will never be an issue if we don\u2019t define the limits of \u201csatiety\u201d<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
\nOf course, I\u2019m talking about insatiability!<\/p>\n
\n\u201cYou\u2019re always complaining but every restaurant and tavern I went to was full, and people were drinking like crazy.\u201d<\/strong>
\nOf course, then there is the \u201cinvisible\u201d<\/strong> majority…
\nIt\u2019s really interesting how that segment [of society<\/em>] always sides with nationalism which imposes this life of poverty on them…<\/p>\n
\nWe have an overabundance, not of those who are creative but of those who complain…
\nAnd know-it-alls…<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIn order to be creative and productive in every sense you need to be just as competent in comprehension, memory, cultural background and maturity, imagination and contemplation.\u201d<\/strong>
\nComprehension is the skill of understanding.
\nImagination is to be imaginative…
\nContemplation is the ability to think…
\nNow you do the math, where do we stand on the path to being productive and creative?<\/p>\n
\nSomehow, we haven’t learned the limits of greed, avarice and shamelessness…
\nOnly when the \u201chungry\u201d<\/strong> start consuming the \u201cgreedy\u201d<\/strong>, will we all have a reason to hope!<\/p>\n
