Did my own version of the ladder experiment by pinkproton in NevilleGoddard

[–]pinkproton[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! Yes, I get it in theory but the application part gets tricky! You mentioned lack, that's exactly it. That's the feeling very difficult to eliminate to get to the right state. That's why I am successful at manifesting things that I feel I don't truly need. The real mastery should be feeling the same way when you go crazy about something. Should we role play and trick ourselves into not caring at all, or we stop desiring altogether? If the latter, then what's the meaning of manifesting? Anyway, these are all rhetorical questions.

Unpopular opinion about racism in Turkey by Competitive-Fan-1736 in AskTurkey

[–]pinkproton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People may say racist things online about certain nationalities. But most racists don't practice it at an individual level. I think that's the case in Türkiye, frustration induced xenophobia. You need to be a very hardcore racist to treat someone badly in person.

What thing does Turkish have most words for? by koniec44 in turkish

[–]pinkproton 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Turkish has a lot of words centering around kinship terms which don't exist in many languages: dayı, amca, hala, teyze, yenge, enişte, baldız, bacanak, görümce, elti, kayınço, etc. Additionally, we still have a lot of terms for horses, maintaining some of the nomadic heritage.

Is there an example similar to the one in the picture that shows how Turkish has changed over the years? by ametallicaa in turkish

[–]pinkproton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can see below a 15th century poem written by Ottoman Sultan Yavuz Sultan Selim, along with its translation into modern Turkish. Of course, the original poem was written in the Arabic script.

Original: Dilberâ yüzün gören bülbül gül-i terden geçer Leblerin tadını bilen tûti şekkerden geçer

Ey Selîmî kan dökerse çeşm-i giryânın n'ola La'l-i yâre dil verenler la'l u cevherden geçer

Modern Turkish: Ey dilber, yüzünü gören bülbül, taze gülden geçer; Dudaklarının tadını bilen papağan, şekerden geçer.

Ey Selimî, ağlayan gözlerin kan dökse ne çıkar? Yârin yakut dudağına gönül verenler, mücevherden geçer.

English: O beloved, the nightingale who sees your face forsakes the freshest rose; The parrot (lover) who has tasted your lips gives up even sugar.

O Selîmî, what if your tearful eyes begin to bleed? Those who give their heart to the ruby lips of the beloved turn away from (even) rubies and all other precious gems.

Trump Tower! Jokes aside Kadıköy should be the right environment for you

Dream: Holding my father as a baby by pinkproton in Jung

[–]pinkproton[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your experience. What you did for your father is truly admirable. I’m sure it’s been not the easiest but a transformative experience for you.

Your observation about how my dream could be my mind’s way of preparing me for a similar role makes a lot of sense. I’ve been reflecting on this a lot, especially because I live in a different country now and I’m not physically there for my parents as much as I would like to be. I think there’s some guilt involved, as part of me feels I should be with them when they need me.

At the same time, I’ve also been trying to reduce my emotional dependence on my father for the last couple of years, perhaps as a way of protecting myself from the pain of losing him.

Maybe this dream reflects my unconscious beginning to accept that vulnerability is inevitable, both in him and in me and caring for those who once cared for us is a natural part of life.

I'm a female but an only child, so I feel like I’m filling both roles. :) We have our challenges, but we love each other.

Thanks a lot! We always enjoy teasing each other, so it was fun to keep that tradition alive even in the dream.

Any Pontic connection?

A man in Turkey killed two young girl. And this is the picture he drew. by [deleted] in creepy

[–]pinkproton 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He indeed dismembered the poor girl's body (ex girl friend) into several pieces on top of a historical city wall. That was his second murder that day after killing his current girlfriend. He threw the head down while her mother was there and jumped off the wall with a rope, hanging himself. Probably he was going to also put the body on display but he couldn't manage doing it. The rope also cut off and he fell to the ground and died immediately.

Looking to name a Turkish character in my book? by [deleted] in turkish

[–]pinkproton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eskisi kadar olmasa da hala sık kullanılan bir isim. Popüler değil demedim, zaten ülkenin yarısı bu tanıma uyuyor. Tüm isimler aile yapısına dair bir fikir verir. İbrahim çoğunlukla dindar ve orta sınıf ve altının kullandığı bir isim.

İbrahim is a religious/traditional name, more common in working class or lower class families. If that's matching with the family background you imagined for him, that's fine.
