“Play creates order, is order.” – Johan Huizinga Recently, two works have been released that reflect the reality that life is a grand game. One of them is Netflix’s sensational Korean series Squid Game, and the other is the movie Free Guy. Squid Game is a series that reflects the pornography of violence, upon which entire books could be written. It tells the story of protagonists fighting for survival within a game-like order. Humanity, having lived through traumatic times wi

“They thought they were ordinary until they discovered their special powers.” The hit TV series Heroes, which took the world by storm between 2006 and 2010, opens with these striking words: “Recently, a group of seemingly ordinary individuals have revealed abilities that can only be described by the word ‘special’. These individuals will not only save the world but change it forever...” The show might be called Heroes, but make no mistake; they are not demigods from outer spa

"We can do what we want, but we cannot will what we want." – Arthur Schopenhauer If we knew how everything would end, where our journey would take us, would we still make the same decisions? Or would we walk a different path? Is there a way to escape the destiny that awaits us? If we are bound to face ourselves in the end anyway, does it even matter which path we choose to take? Netflix’s phenomenal German series Dark opens its third season with exactly these questions. Three

„Seid gegrüßt, ihr Töchter des Zeus, schenkt mir eure zauberhafte Stimme und preist durch meine Zunge das Geschlecht der Unsterblichen … Wie wurden die Götter geboren, denen wir alles verdanken, wie teilten sie Ruhm und Ehre unter sich auf und wie ließen sie sich auf dem gewundenen Olymp nieder … Wir, die wir aus Mutter Erde und dem sternenreichen Himmel, aus der dunklen Nacht und den bitternen Wassern des Meeres geboren wurden. Rhea gebar Zeus, mich (Poseidon) und Hades, den

From the outside, everything may seem perfectly fine. Your job, your friends, your family, your routines… Yet I know that sometimes, when you lay your head on the pillow at night or suddenly pause in the middle of a crowded room, that familiar feeling creeps into your heart again: the feeling of being trapped behind an invisible wall.As if life were one giant movie set, everyone around you were reciting memorized lines, and you were merely an extra in a script that was never

Dear readers, In December, I was in Italy for my documentary shoots. Thanks to this journey, I stepped into 2020 with brand new experiences and knowledge. I know you’re curious—don’t worry, starting with this article, I’ll be sharing all of it with you as time allows. While I was swept into an exciting adventure across Berlin, Rome, and Naples in pursuit of projects, the world entered the new year with headlines like: “A continent is disappearing!”, “Half a billion animals ha

In the dizzying pace of modern life , amid endless responsibilities, intrusive thoughts, and the constant pressure to “keep up,” we sometimes feel like we can’t breathe. Maybe lately you’ve caught yourself asking: “What did I do to deserve this?” “Am I the only one struggling this much?” If feelings of deep loneliness and helplessness knock on your door from time to time, I want to tell you this as sincerely as possible: You are not alone. You are seen, and you are understood

Have you ever found yourself suddenly getting angry for no clear reason, wanting to withdraw out of nowhere, or scrolling through social media and instantly feeling an unexplainable sense of inadequacy? Even when your logic tells you, “There’s nothing to be upset about,” something inside keeps sounding the alarm. If you’ve watched Inside Out , you probably remember that famous “control panel” inside Riley’s mind. Whenever things in her life took an unexpected turn—when she h

Have you ever experienced this? You say something… But the person across from you hears something completely different. You send a message… Your intention is clear, yet the reply feels distant. In the middle of a conversation, you might catch yourself saying: "I didn’t actually mean it that way." It’s in moments like these that we encounter a small truth:Communication isn’t as simple as we think.Because communication isn’t just words.The intention behind the words, tone, em

On Leaving the Comfort Zone, Moving Toward the Stage, and Being Honest with Yourself. There are moments like this. From the outside, life looks “normal.” Work is fine, the environment is familiar, there’s a routine. But inside, there’s a tightness you can’t quite explain. For me, that moment started at a table in Antep in 2009. There was no big crisis at that table. No one was shouting. Life wasn’t falling apart. But there was a voice inside me. And for the first time in a

“When you make peace with your shadow, your life will transform.” — Debbie Ford Each year, we pass through another summer solstice on June 21st — the moment when the sun’s rays strike the Tropic of Cancer directly, when the Northern Hemisphere experiences its longest day and summer officially begins. Whether it is the summer solstice, the winter solstice on December 21st, or the equinoxes on March 21st and September 23rd, only one thing truly takes place: the dance of light a

In the modern world, loneliness is almost automatically labeled as a problem. If you are alone, something is missing. If you are alone, you should be more social. If you are alone, you must "improve" yourself. Yet, for many of us, the experience is far more contradictory: We can feel lonely within a crowd, but sometimes, when we are left all by ourselves, we realize we are breathing for the first time. So, the question is this: Is the problem really loneliness, or is it the w
