why continue to add fuel to the fire if lemon feels this way let him he is only one person and everyone adding to this just makes it worse

it takes two people to argue a point, idea, theory etc....

and in reality who cares ...........

this is like children in a school yard

I really like this poem by Can Yucel  I translated last year, I might of made a few mistakes so any corrections would be nice to have

El Bunca zaman bana anlatmaya çalıştığını,kendimi bulduğumda anladım

 Herkesin mutlu olmak için başka bir yolu varmış,

Kendi yolumu çizdiğimde anladım..

Bir tek yaşanarak öğrenilirmiş hayat, okuyarak,dinleyerek değil..

Bildiklerini bana neden anlatmadığını, anladım..

Yüreğinde aşk olmadan geçen her gün kayıpmış,

Aşk peşinden neden yalınayak koştuğunu anladım..

Acı doruğa ulaştığında gözyaşı gelmezmiş gözlerden,

Neden hiç ağlamadığını anladım..

Ağlayanı güldürebilmek,ağlayanla ağlamaktan daha değerliymiş,

Gözyaşımı kahkahaya çevirdiğinde anladım..

Bir insanı herhangi biri kırabilir,ama bir tek en çok sevdiği, acıtabilirmiş,
Çok acıttığında anladım..

Fakat,hak edermiş sevilen onun için dökülen her damla gözyaşını,

Gözyaşlarıyla birlikte sevinçler terk ettiğinde anladım.

You tried to explain this all to me for a long time, I realized only when I found myself 

Everyone becomes happy in different ways

I realized when I had found my way

Only by living life we learn, not through studying or listening to others

 

I understand why you did not explain

Everday that passes without love in your heart is a loss your reasons to me

I understood when I ran barefoot after love

When in the height of pain no tears drop

When in the height of pain no tears drop

There is more value in knowing how to make one who cries laugh than to cry with them

I realized this when you turned my tears into laughter

Anybody can know how to break someone but only the person you love can hurt you and I realized you hurt me too much

But when you love it is worth every teardrop

When you left I understood both the happiness and the tears

............................................................................................................................................................................... Yalan söylememek değil, gerçeği gizlememekmiş marifet,

Yüreğini elime koyduğunda anladım..

´´Sana ihtiyacım var, gel ! ´´ diyebilmekmiş güçlü olmak,

Sana ´´git´´ dediğimde anladım..

Git dediklerinde gittiğimde anladım..

Sana sevgim şımarık bir çocukmuş,her düştüğünde zırıl zırıl ağlayan,

Büyüyüp bana sımsıkı sarıldığında anladım..

Özür dilemek değil, ´´affet beni´´ diye haykırmak istemekmiş pişman
olmak, Gerçekten pişman olduğumda anladım..

Ve gurur, kaybedenlerin, acizlerin maskesiymiş,
Sevgi dolu yüreklerin gururu olmazmış,
Yüreğimde sevgi bulduğumda anladım..

Ölürcesine isteyen,beklemez,sadece umut edermiş bir gün affedilmeyi,
Beni af etmeni ölürcesine istediğimde anladım..
Sevgi emekmiş,
Emek ise vazgeçmeyecek kadar, ama özgür bırakacak kadar sevmekmiş...

Can YüceL

The real talent is to not to lie, it is to not hide the truth

I realized when you placed your heart in my hand

Was very hard to become strong enough and say “come to me I need you

I realized it when I told you to go

I understood when I was told to go

My love for you is like a spoilt child that sobs like a baby when it falls

I understood when you grew and clung to me tightly

Regret is not apologizing but to scream “ forgive me “

I regret the time when I regretted

and pride, is a mask for losers and weaknesses

Hearts full of love have no pride

I realized this when I found love in my heart

one who yearns for it desperately, does not wait, only hopes to be forgiven one day

I realized when I desperately wanted you to forgive me

Love is an effort, the effort is to love in such a way you do not abandon it, but set it free...

maybe you should stay off internet and go hide in the mountains it seems you have a great fear of mankind in general

being an expat yourself it should not be hard to figure out

hmmm greenpeace is that not just an organization that gets people to donate money so they don´t have to work real jobs.  I wonder do they all walk to work - never buy food that has been produced with the use of machinery - use leaves to wipe their errrrrrr uhm ( i ) glorius cheeks mankind has given them. Do they use electricity, computers clothing?.... But they can all hundle together and cry about issues - did you know that any issue can be made into anything for a profit so send all you money to greenpeace so they can fly in jets to nice locations to see if anyone needs an whooping by their foundation
