The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.

The Philosophy Of Kemalism
True wisdom embraces
the knowledge
that no singular mortal man
alone without the eureka
insights of God
given moments can foresee
past all the fortuitous
opportunities
arising kaleidoscopic
decisions repercussions
reverberate
through lives individual
effecting families nations
when people of power
impose their mighty will.
Therefore rejoice Türkiye
elected power is constitutionally
given to your voting people
this is a vision legacy given
by great father of a Turkish nation
blessing generations unborn
enlightenment positivism rationalism
realism pragmatism and secularism
imparted into a constitution sacrosanct.
This is the vision of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
a philosophy of peace prosperity for all
a philosophy to inspire all future generations
a philosophy that should inspire
an entire world lacking refined wisdom
alas world rejects Turkic inspired wisdom.

As for philosophy, it makes an architect high-minded and not self-assuming, but rather renders him courteous, just, and honest without avariciousness. This is very important, for no work can be rightly done without honesty and incorruptibility.

There's A Touch
There's a touch upon my lips
Left by memory's (mary's ?) fingertips
I still hear her voice
When there's no sound
There's a touch upon my skin
Left whenshe went back to him
All the rest has gone
She's not around
When I saw her first
It was lust my friend
Thought it would burn
Then it would end
But I lost my old philosophy
Now I believed in love
Well the months went by and my love grew strong
Thought she felt the same but I was wrong
She held my old philosophy
Now I'm destroyed by love
There's a touch, etc...
Well I still believed that I would win
Cos I was a better man than him
She held the new philosophy
Now she believed in love
But the love she felt was not for me
Said she would have to set me free
Now I know there's no philosophy
That can't be destroyed by love
There's a touch, etc...

What one decides to do in crisis depends on one's philosophy of life, and that philosophy cannot be changed by an incident. If one hasn't any philosophy in crises, others make the decision.

Proverbs Witty Bits Of Wisdom
Proverbs popularly
defined as short
expressions of
popular wisdom.
Efforts to improve
on the popular
definition
have not led
to a more
precise definition.
The proverbial
wisdom
is in the form
of a general
observation
about
the world
or a bit
of advice,
sometimes
more nearly
an attitude
toward a situation
stereotypical.

The philosophy to live
The life is
respect and dignity
My philosophy of
life is to
live with dreams
Is satisfying to
think at the
philosophy to live
The philosophy to
live is sacred
and genuine
Is essential that
the philosophy to
live is a
conscious and satisfying
act of our
personal existence
The philosophy to
live must be
defended from excessive
attacks
The philosophy to
live will be
a peaceful and
motivated revolution
The life is
a great and
magnificent work
The life must
be lived slowly
because only thus
can be authentic
The life is
not appearance
The life travels
in the present
The life is
an alternation of
emotions and sensations
There shouldn't be
obsessions in life
because it's an
unrepeatable and extravagant
thing

Look at us...
These signs of silence,
Are the reasons of urn absence.....
Yearning for your embrace,
And feel your sweet grace,
Resting by the fireplace..........
Look at us, where we are,
So grown, and bizarre…
Look at us, what we are,
Like the strings of a musical guitar...
We’re in love, we're determined,
to our love, life and so defined...
Sun is shining in the sky,
You're arms, that's where I’m gon' die...
Our love is so clean,
Unusual, nobody has seen,
I’m gon'nestle it & make it endlessly green....
Look at us, where we are,
So grown, and bizarre…
Look at us, what we are,
Like the strings of a musical guitar...
We’re in love, we're determined,
to our love, life and so defined...
You belong to me,
No matter where, we'll be...
You are always mine,
My love, my sunshine.....
Look at us, where we are,
So grown, and bizarre…
Look at us, what we are,
Like the strings of a musical guitar...
We’re in love, we're determined,
to our love, life and so defined...

There Is Simply Love for the Feast of Valentine
There is no black love
For the feast of Valentino
There is simply: LOVE.
There is no white love
In the cappuccino
There is simply: LOVE.
Coffee will always be black
Milk is sometimes white
And chocolate on occasion brown.
Mix all three and the ending product
Is just kaleidoscopically divine
Out of this world, almost perfect.
Love has a great mind
That’s why he or she is blind
This is something that is hard to find.
Love has no color
Love has simply great flavor
And great taste like a classic wine.
There is no Negro love
No Caucasian love
And no Hispanic love.
There is simply: LOVE.

A Very Strange Desire
I want you to give me your love
But I don't want to be unkind,
Don't you know that this type of loneliness
Is enough to turn a man blind?
How I long to elaborate
On the dreams that I haven't defined,
So give me your friendship, my love,
And we'll see what joy we can find,
Give me the sort of pleasure
That the gods in their wisdom designed
And in the end let me urinate
In the golden latrines of your mind! !
