Last week, we saw (ep9 ), and how #LanguageLearning Might Help With Changing Domestic Violence to Empathy? .
This week, we see bölüm/episode 10:
The summary comes from a fellow blogger (Birgit)’s point of view.
Dudu is conspiring how to break up Betüs and Sadik, of course, and Dudu found another spell for Sadik to fall in love with someone else. She chose Suzan for that purpose, married to Avni. She and Eda don’t seem to care that they will break up two marriages. Avni knows that some of them are fairies, but his wife does not believe him.
It will be love at first sight for Sadik and Suzan!
This evening I will explain the problem, and then I’ll explain to you what we will do about it!
This leads to problem number 2: How to prevent Suzan from divorcing Avni without disclosing that there are fairies? Aunt Perihan plans to assemble the Fairy committee.
At least the problem with Avni having seen fairies seems to be solved by the Fairy Committee:
In a few minutes, everything he saw having to do with Fairies will be completely forgotten!
One problem out of the way, but the spell to make Suzan and Sadik fall in love worked and ends up in a brawl in Betüs’s café.

How did we not realize this, your mother did all of this, once again!
Dudu, however, reveals herself by slapping Perihan through the magic mirror, and she and Betüs understand that everything is her work again.
They won’t remember having been the victims of this awful magic
They turn the time back by magic to before the moment when Sadik and Suzan fell in love, and this time Betüs will punish Dudu and Eda. She sends Dudu, Eda, Umur (Dudu’s new boyfriend) and the dog Taci (Betüs’s and Eda’s father) on a world trip reduced to thumb size.
Many, many thanks to Birgit, of the Stella, oh, Stella blog, for all of the of the English and image content, today.

Jealousy is a terrible, blinding emotion, just like hatred. Makes one believe things that are not true and makes one paranoid as well, out of reach for reason.

Ah. That explains much of human behavior, it seems. I’ve never understood jealousy, even when I recognized myself feeling jealous of an 8 day old infant (for the love and affection that the parents and community were showering upon the child). But even then, I never wished ill upon any of them.

I guess you were a bit envious then, not really jealous. But I am not sure that I am interpreting the words correctly. But people murder out of jealousy, don’t they?

Well, yes, but they murder out of envy, as well. Envy tends to be more for an object or possession of some sort, I think, while jealously seems to be more generalized, but I may be wrong about that.

You feeling of envy/jealousy was – in any case – not strong enough to hit or kill. I don’t have such a strong streak of it either. I think I have been lucky and protected in life – in spite of all – so far.

Also, while I did have to leave the room and cry in the bathroom, I had to remind myself that this child bore no guilt for anything, and that it was completely unreasonable and unreasoning of me to feel the way I felt. Then, I redoubled my (fruitless, as it turned out) efforts to become part of that community.

There must be some way that society can help, or put something in place, that will help people to overcome their jealousies and with education and time, put aside or unlearn those hatreds?

At the moment society is firing up under jealousies with the promotion of competitive thinking, the winner and loser mentality. We need cooperation and not competition.

Very true. Competition and the winner/loser mindset has been very much encouraged in particular since the publication of The Wealth of Nations, without some key points that Adam Smith wrote, unfortunately, like the need for equal access by all players to all of the markets, with equal knowledge: in other words, a level playing field for consumers, sellers, and laborers. That sort of competition is not necessarily a bad thing, but the encouragement of survival competition via Social Darwinism seems to have come up alongside the later theories of racial purity/superiority, and this has transmuted into theories of overall competition for housing, jobs, and even for self-worth. That is extremely unhealthy, and needs to be replaced with the understanding that every human being has potential that needs, especially now, to be tapped to the fullest in the service of human survival, which is in dire need of cooperation. But how to help everyone begin to understand this?

Darwin was wrong or incorrectly interpreted, because even in the world of plants and animals not only the fittest survive, it is only the weakest that die. A lot of mediocre also survive because of group dynamics and cooperation.
