Bir Avu?º Deniz Quote
Deniz Demirci: Mert, why is your name Mert / Brave? My father gave me this name. Maybe I really am brave. Nietzsche says What was silent in the father speaks in the son.
Mert Akbay: What does this mean?
Dilek Hanoglu: Are you saying Mert's father can't be brave?
Deniz Demirci: I can't say that but it's a possibility.
Mert Akbay: So why is your name Deniz / Sea?
Deniz Demirci: No particular reason. But the philosophical depth of the name is dizzying. Life is a sea. We're all parts of it. Just like waves. Whether we sink or float is beyond our willpower. Our destinies are written by the winds that carry us.
Dilek Hanoglu: Is this fatalism or what?
Deniz Demirci: No, it's not. But fatalism is a great anti-depressant. Only, fate doesn't exist. There is no route, no track, nothing.
Aylin Kargin Ãatak: Then what is there?
Deniz Demirci: Nothing, really. There's nothing we can decide with our willpower. It wasn't my decision to be born into my family, or to be born in that place. We're all droplets in an ocean. Of course, we don't feel comfortable with this fact, believing in the reverse is more fashionable. We feel more powerful that way. We feel more in control.
Dilek Hanoglu: I don't think we're droplets in an ocean but ships sailing towards a destination. We all have routes.For example... I take this glass... and drink up. I wanted to and I did.
Deniz Demirci: Yes, but the fact that you drank it does not determine you.
Mert Akbay: What if there was poison in the glass?
Deniz Demirci: The same questions all the time! Drinking poison would bloody determine you. But no one would swallow poison just for the fun of it, would they? Think of this: If it wasn't for the engineers who designed airplanes would you be able to fly in a metal box? Life is similar. We're told not to worry, everything is taken care of,
