We're doomed to be happy, or try to be happy.

Currently at a wedding, there are the same songs all over for decades, same songs after again, and after again. People are dancing like they've ever listened to them for the first time.

There was an election one and a half month ago in Turkey. Opposition leader had said that this was the last election we would have if they don't win this one. In the end, they didn't.

There were two elections, and they were two weeks apart. In the first election, none of the candidates had a 50%+1 vote, so we had the second election. In meantime, a young man committed suicide, I've seen in the news.

After the selection, the opposition party had lost, yet they've seen that as a success. There wasn't any candidate who hadn't 48% of votes.

But it's meaningless. Because there were two candidates. There was a joke like "Even if a slipper is chosen as a candidate, it would still win". The opposition leader was that slipper, and still couldn't win the election.

That leader was on vacation last week. Life's still good for him and his party. All is well. They blame the people for opposing them. They say "Don't oppose the opposition". Some people commit suicide, and lots of people are pessimistic about their countries' future.

Hey, oh... That wasn't the main issue I wanted to write about. We are doomed to be happy.

There is inflation, uncontrolled immigration, terrorism, unemployment, and so on. But we people still can have fun. We have our weddings and parties. Actually, there is no reason we can't have those. What can we do really for all these problems? I personally don't know. They all bother me, but I can't think of anything by myself. I can't join an organization. I wonder if other people think like me and they just "carpe diem".

We are doomed to try to be happy. Just let it be.
