Shine

The moon shines brightly in its perfect form.. Decorates the night sky accompanied by the stars around it.. Its shadow is clearly reflected on the surface of the river water reflecting the beauty of the sky where it is located.. When viewed from the earth, the moon is the brightest visible object in the night sky , as if it was the main character. Other celestial bodies look small because of their great distance from this planet. The night is always dark.. But the moon is always bright.. Always walking on its axis.. Always holding on to the sunlight it receives.. Even if it is alone, without any friends of its kind around it. The universe is so vast... However, we don't know exactly what is in other galaxies, in other spaces in space. Maybe there are other moons there, or other amazing objects.

As inhabitants of the earth, we are responsible for the place where we live. The human population is increasingly suffocating, massive development continues to be carried out, the use of transportation that is not environmentally friendly, and other things that have a negative impact on the planet. Air pollution, rising temperatures, melting ice and other impacts are not insignificant. All of this must be considered by humans who are capable of normal thinking and taken into consideration when doing something. However, what is more important comes from large industries that carry out industrial processes with endless negative impacts on nature. And also especially by the power holders who allow it and other policies they create.

We are just individual human beings living here. Without any great power or control other than ourselves. So, we can start from ourselves. Living life by turning on the intellect, a basis that differentiates us from other creatures. Starting to think with common sense.. implementing logic and awareness.. Turning on the light.. Inhibiting darkness.. Rejecting pollution which can pollute consciousness in whatever form it takes.

There are many problems that we can think about solving, starting from within ourselves, for example, those related to the things we like to do, our passion, or we are just interested in. When we start doing it, something will definitely appear slowly. Starting.. Developing.. Surviving.. Shining.. Keeping walking on its axis.. Holding on to the light.. Regardless of the brilliance and silence of the surroundings.. Decorating our lives until positive things are reflected. 

We should ignore other groups who are lazy to think, who reject the light, allowing toxic waste to pollute their consciousness. We have no control over it. They are a large group who are unknowingly in an illusion that darkens their consciousness, following the flow aimlessly and drifting. Like the moon, keep walking on its axis, traveling around carrying its light.. Slowly, the reflection will be visible from a distance, whether we realize it or not...
