Turkish Tuesday: Sihirli Annem (s1e2) & Lack of Empathy Spreads Pain

… and one is not allowed to stand idly by while another is made to suffer, Eda, even if it is your mother causing the suffering (different is not wrong was Part 1 of this episode, reviewed last week)…  and Eda is a bit immature, still (don’t worry, Dear Readers/Viewers,  Eda Fairy grows up and learns that different can be even better, eventually…)

  This week we continue with, and finish bölüm/episode 2.

Poor Avni is still watching Betüş do magic, and still unable to convince his impatient and unempathetic wife Suzan to take him seriously, even for just one moment:

 

When are you going to believe that you need to get help from a psychiatrist, Avni?

     And Dudu Fairy, Betüş’s mother, is more determined than ever to separate Betüş from Sadık,  her mortal husband, this time, by changing her temperament to a more adolescent impatience and lack of empathy:

 

-Wow, I’m fascinated Mom

I can’t believe Betüş will become an impatient, intolerable fairy!

and  …

 

-Since you want to fight, then come on, come here, come on, come on, come on!

-Honey, calm down!

        Dudu Fairy’s plan seems be working, so far, even better than she’d hoped:

Betüş’s behavior has given his horrible boss Umur Bey the excuse he’s been wanting to fire poor Sadık!

You-Are-Fired!

But, there is a higher authority in the Fairy world, and she keeps an eye on Dudu, to guard against misuses of power like this:

 

You did such horrible magic to your own daughter, Dudu…

and the punishment is:

 

As punishment I am taking your magic from both of you, and we’ll see how you like living without magic for a day!

Thank you,  Perihan!

   From lack of empathy to a daughter and sister, to lack of empathy for a spouse, to lack of empathy for an employee, this show shows us how the world becomes a bitter and desolate place where allowing and even causing suffering of all types is normalized, when we do not have compassion, at least, if not empathy, for one another.
