Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull was one of my rare self-help books. Although the book is written about living perfection, I can divide it into many parts such as society, pressure and thought.

While the social oppression and exclusion that people are exposed to is explained with seagulls, it surprised me how well it fits human life. For those who perceive the purpose of life as living long and eating, "How should we live life?" It was a book that answered the question.

Our protagonist, who was always extraordinary, found his purpose in life and started to live what he needed to be. This psychology, which tends to give up and even commit suicide when it starts to stumble, as in human psychology, was not psychology far from us. If we look at current life, it is very simple to observe this situation in the younger generation. However, this part, which is the only part where the protagonist has difficulty, is one of the parts I like.

After the obstacles are overcome and the hard part is over, I think it's a little late for the parts that emphasize the importance of love. When barriers or borders are removed, “hungry but happy” may be one of the slogans that push our young people to do everything possible. Everything can be done, but not everything should be done. The last thing I want to add to the Borders paragraph will be for a sentence in the book. Borders are nothing but our own illusions, but every border crossed; It does not bring speed, power, great pleasure and perfect beauty.

As explained in the book, the desire to learn within certain limits is one of the most important pursuits. I have no doubt that the race on this subject will be the most enjoyable, but when it comes to business obsession, law and regression - which is inevitable - it should be emphasized once again that we should act as ourselves, not as a society. However, nothing we consider unimportant is so important as to trivialize another living thing. Ants are important.

I do not think that tradition and society are bad, but to question in a society that is heading towards extinction; saves humanity. And there is always rebirth.

Another criticism I would like to add is that there is something that is not unique to this book, but that I have encountered in almost all personal development books and that I can't understand and that gets me angry after a while. The protagonists decipher the code of life in a few tries and are knowledgeable, happy and helpful in every matter. Nobody is perfect and trying to be perfect is nothing but falling into chaos. Mistakes are one of the most beautiful things we can have.
