The Cherry is Blooming

Disasters are befalling us one after another.

We are all being buried together in mass graves by the bucketful.

Some of our bodies cannot even be recovered.

So, if we have a grave, we consider ourselves lucky.

These types of disasters do not only happen to us in the world, but we are the ones dying the most.

Is the reason for this only nature?

Or do we also have a contribution?

Scientists have been explaining the answer to these questions in every setting for years.

They say, there is a fault line, be careful, build 2-3 story buildings, do not build a cyanide pool at a gold mine.

The results clearly show that no one is listening. 

Since our nation fills its mind more with daytime television programs, there is no room left to store what scientists say.

In that case, let me try to explain it with visual documents, jokes, and parables, so maybe someone will understand.

One of Yeşilçam's most thematic films, the 1990 production “Kiraz Çiçek Açıyor” (The Cherry is Blooming), directed by Yaşar Seriner and starring Nur Sürer.

A woman who has no education, no income, and does not work, but somehow feeds the elderly and children in the house, is constantly asked the same question.

“Where does this food come from?”

After all,

No job, no power,

Where does this food come from.

According to the principle of conservation of energy, if food is coming, there is definitely a cost to it.

In an isolated environment in the world, the total amount of energy does not change. 

Energy can neither be destroyed nor created from nothing.

But the type of energy can change.

The potential energy of water turns into kinetic energy due to the movement of water.

The chemical energy of dynamite turns into kinetic energy with an explosion.

Energy cannot be lost.

In a place where I had just started a new job, they invited me to the city's most luxurious restaurant one evening.

When I went, they treated me very warmly.

The place was also very good.

We ate, we drank.

When it came time for the bill, they said, “What do you mean, professor, you are our guest.”

Well, what can we say.

Even though I insisted half-heartedly, a free welcome meal did not count as a bribe.

When I went a second time and the bill did not come, I felt uncomfortable and never went again.

When a sudden raid on the municipality led to the detention of quite a few people, including the restaurant owner, I understood that there was someone paying the bill.

The bill for the meal we ate was being invoiced to somewhere else in an inflated manner.

“There is no such thing as a free lunch” (literally: Free cheese is only found in a mousetrap).

The fact that the meal we ate was not billed is contrary to the “principle of conservation of energy.”

Materials were bought, the cook cooked, the stove was lit, the waiter brought it.

Is it possible for it to be free?

All this service must have had a monetary equivalent.

And it did!!

Our collapsed buildings, our exploding mines, our sliding cyanide pools.

We always thought we were doing it cheaply.

However, no one gives anything to anyone cheaply or for free. 

“Cheap meat makes for thin broth.”

It is contrary to the principle of conservation of energy.

They asked the mouse, “Why didn't you jump despite being offered so much money?”

The mouse said, “The money is a lot, the distance is short.”

I hope someone understands.
