We were talking and wishing about true love to be fashionable again as it is somehow old fashioned and then.. A new movement is born; ’True Love Movement’. I’m happy being the creator of the idea and also witness of it being born. I’m hopeful. You know I always support good and right, so I’ll always be behind this subject. While the world is getting uglier, if we don’t continue telling about beautiful and valuable things, I’m afraid they won’t exist anymore.
Movement started opposing love seen as consumption material. Love has been randomized just like the other non-existing beautiful things. Love goes so far from the thoughts of spiritual leaders Buddha, Rumî, literature of well known names Schopenhauer, Goethe, Shakespeare, Ozdemir Asaf, Can Yucel, Edip Cansever, the way how love songs, romantic movies tell.. It has been broken into pieces. Sensualized. Beaten by hunger of satisfaction. Victim of greed. The value of true love in ugly seeing eyes, goes down, down, down like currencies.. Love doesn’t deserve any of these.
True Love Movement will bring love to light. It will tell about true love. If love is not told, mentioned, spread from ear to ear, how will you make new generations feel the individual love?
’Sex sells’ right? How can a person stop being brain washed, thinking sexualized and ’must be naked’ women at banners in internet, at posters in streets, on screen are beautiful; score stories heard from greedy environment are love stories? How can a child give real love to his/her parner when grown up, if the child never sees his/her parents holding hands, kissing each other with love? If new generation doesn’t read or get told about true love, how can you expect them to do anything and everything to protect true love?
So bittery.. So painful giving aches to heart.. Human doesn’t go after ’real’ beauties; admires plastic beauties that are later gained. Look at TV icons, puffy with silicon bags anywhere. Pop stars are without natural beauty, internet is full of plastic bodies and people with also fear of getting old.. How can someone who idealizes these, turn back to real life? Can’t. Today’s victims forget who they fell in love with, how they began to hold hands; same hands rise in the air to leave bruise marks on beloved ones’ bodies.
True Love Movement will ask men who see violence natural and turn psychological and physical violence into being invincible and ego satisfaction.. ”When you first met her, she was a woman like spring. She fell in love with you. She trusted you. She came closer to your warmth and under your wings. How could you think those bruise marks would look good on her?” ..Movement will also ask men turning violence into injuries and murder who don’t have any little piece of human love.. ”How could you hurt a defenceless woman? Instead of for loving and protecting, how could you use your several times bigger physical power on a slender body? How could you cover her beautiful smile, beautiful body with blood? How could you take her life? Are you God?”
Love, water, air, soil, nature, environment, humanity are slained. Wars, battles empower individual violence.. Somehow there are fighters for water, air, soil, nature, environment and humanity but how about love? For this reason, I say True Love Movement..
