When I was very little, my mother put my school bag on my back when I started primary school and said: 'Son, you are shouldering the burden of life.' At that time, I did not understand the burden of life. I laughed! Was the burden of life just a few pens and notebooks? Then I grew up, of course. I went to secondary school. The burden of life on my back became heavier and heavier! I said my mother was right! Then I started high school. The burden of my bag started to lighten. Then I started not carrying a bag at all. I think my mother was wrong for the first time!
Then the university years continued... When I finished school, I realized that my mother was right again. And the burden of life was on my back. Turns out it wasn't the bag that was heavy! The burden of life; It was everything I shouldered when I started my education life, all the experiences I had... It was real life itself! You young people who have just started school! Are you ready to carry the burden of life? When we were going to primary school, we used to cover our books and notebooks. It was a separate ritual for us. Because it was something that belonged to us! Once we put the label on it, it was ours now! So now ? The books are free, but it doesn't matter. Easy possession leads to easy giving up. Then we had the eraser that we hung around our neck. I think it was very important for us not to make a mistake at that time.
Because we were experiencing the mistake and we were erasing it with our eraser. Nowadays, there is neither an eraser nor the importance given to mistakes. Mothers carry the bags instead of the children. Children are not given responsibility. Families speak as their voice instead of them. Thus, the child forgets to demand his own rights and lives in a rosy protective cloud. If the child gets good grades, it is known. If he gets a bad grade, it means 'the teacher is obsessed with my child'. The child is always right. The teachers are 'too poo'. The child is taught to pursue what is good and beautiful. If it is true and experience, it is an unnecessary action. Children don't play games anymore. Gym class is no longer as important as it used to be. Because our beautiful children avoided all physical activities! If there is internet, they did everything with a click of a button, without leaving their seats. Do you think this might be due to the bags they do not carry?
There are children who come to high school and cannot read or write. Well, I'm asking you. ? Who are the people who prevent him from shouldering the burden of life? When I was little, my mother was telling stories: 'The Cicada and the Ant.' The Ant would work hard all winter long and collect food for himself for the summer. The cicada used to play instruments, sing and sing throughout the summer. Now I see that there are some cicadas around me! But unfortunately they don't sing anymore, they just wait with everything ready in front of them. Actually, I'm always afraid of children. They always tell the truth: 'Mom, I don't like this, let it go, ugh, it smells so bad in here... I mean, children could express themselves before they went to school! But when they grow up, they don't express themselves. Why? We no longer have brave children shouting 'The King is Naked!' They too are caught up in the herd and keep praising clothes that don't exist. Let's leave our children alone now! Let them feel the weight of the bag on their backs and maybe one day the Cicadas will sing again…
