THIS STORY FROM MY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY

This is a story that a well-known female film artist in Turkey told live on air two years ago.

The female artist, together with a group of friends, identify families in need and establish an association to help. Those in need apply to this association for help in person and by letter. One day, a letter from Ankara city center informing the seriousness of their situation reaches this association. An officer is sent to the specified address to determine the situation.

The needs described in the letter are far below the truth. A makeshift one-eyed hut of 3–4 m2. Kitchen, bathroom, beds, toilet etc. are all in that one-eyed house. A widowed woman lives there with her two cubs. They make a living with the help of subject-neighbours. Leftover food, old clothes, unused items, and housekeeping, if they can find it, are their livelihoods. The officer in charge cannot stand for long in the face of the scene he sees and the painful story told and goes out. Delivers emergency aid news to the centre. .....

Not long after the association, food, clothing and household goods are delivered to the family. In addition, a monthly aid decision of 50 TL is given. The possibilities of a newly established association can only be so much. The family is extremely pleased with this situation. He sincerely prays for help... The officials of the association are also extremely happy to help such a family.

A few months after this incident, a similar letter reaches the association from Ankara again. The story of a widow and her two children is told in this letter. First of all, it is perceived as a letter from the previous family. Then it is determined that the letter came from a different family and a delegation is sent again. Again, a 4 m2 one-eyed hut. Bathroom, toilet, kitchen and beds are all intertwined. A widow and her two orphaned children, living in even more difficult conditions than the previous family. The arrival of the aid team made the women and children very happy. One of the attendants asks the woman, "How much help will give you some relief". The woman gives an answer that will make the heart of the officer and everyone who hears it (me too) cry. "By God, our situation was much worse. A friend of mine has been giving me 25 TL a month for two months. This help has made our situation very comfortable. Maybe we can get along with this amount," she says. The team wonders who gave this cash aid. The woman describes, the authorities examine. The address is a place that freezes all the jokes of a person. "It is the family that received 50 TL aid before". sorry for your friend's condition

, gives half of the 50 TL monthly aid to this family for support.

This must have been the pinnacle of the virtue of isar. Frankly, this is a point that my imagination cannot reach. Preferring someone else, even though he/she needs the goods....Without begging. Sultans of muktasits living with opinions and economics… This story; The characteristic of isar has had an impact on me as much as reading ten books on living with conviction and economy. (Assoc.
