🚨Last night, I thought deeply.🚨
For a long time, there has been a wound inside me that never truly went silent. A wound I tried to cover up, suppress through work, and silence with success.
I am a computer engineer.
Most of my life passed in front of a computer, far away from people. I wrote code. I built systems. I worked in critical institutions. For years, I served my country in important positions. As a freelancer, I developed major applications for powerful families in
#America. In the trading world, I built my own
#AI agent systems. Systems capable of opening and closing long and short positions, making decisions, managing risk, and operating autonomously. I made money. A lot of money.
But today, I asked myself something:
What did I do all of this for?
For a bigger house?
For a more expensive life?
To look more successful in the eyes of others?
No.
I was never someone who believed in crowded tables, fake family ties, or relationships built on interests. In fact, there is a harsh truth inside me. Sometimes blood relations become a burden instead of a bond. That is why, instead of holding tightly to what I earned, I tried to share it with people in need whenever I could.
I helped build water wells in
#Africa.
I sent aid to
#Palestine.
I tried to reach people who
#needed help.
Because we were not sent into this world to own it.
We were sent here to be tested.
We were not sent here to accumulate endlessly, but to stand on the right side of humanity.
Nothing truly belongs to us.
Not our
#homes.
Not our
#money.
Not even our
#bodies.
Even time itself does not belong to us.
One day, all of it will be taken away.
But there are things a person loses by remaining silent. Money can be earned again. A house can be bought again. But once a conscience dies, a person never truly lives the same way inside themselves again.
I can no longer look at crying
#children and continue my life as if nothing happened.
I can no longer silence the voice inside me when I see families trapped beneath destroyed homes.
I can no longer watch innocent people being
#killed and treat it like another piece of news.
Looking at the lifeless body of a child and then returning to my normal life has become unbearable for me.
This is not only geography.
This is not only politics.
This is not only news.
This is the mirror of humanity.
And when I look into that mirror, I tell myself this:
If you stay silent, you lose part of yourself.
If you witness suffering and turn away, something inside you becomes corrupted.
If you know, then you are responsible.
And if you have power, then your responsibility is even greater.
#Today, one decision became clear inside me:
From now on, I will not live to expand my own comfort, but to amplify the voice of the oppressed.
This week, I will meet with the necessary people and begin the process.
I will send all of my wealth, my house, and everything I materially own to Palestine. I want to start life again from zero, like them. I want to understand what life truly means through hardship and simplicity. I will live in a mountain house. I will continue developing my projects from there. I already have a project I deeply believe in. If it succeeds, I will sustain my life through it.
The geography we are born into should not become our destiny.
Is the only “crime” of the people in Palestine simply being born there?
