One of Ours has been Vilified

Lying and dishonesty can only get you this far

Lying and dishonesty never work — and it is a great human tragedy that people think dishonesty can work “for a good motive.” — Ayn Rand

It’s not like me to want to fight with someone. I couldn’t be considered a pacifist either because to be a pacifist that would mean that I’d need to sit down and talk through differences. And more times than not, if I find the situation hostile I’d normally be the one leaving the scene.

I’d figure that my opponent is not ready to talk and pushing would get us nowhere. Carrying that one step further, I’d leave believing that when that person is finally ready that person will be the one asking me to sit down to talk. And then we’d settle our differences.

Today, like many of my fellow writers I awoke to a harsh reality. Someone who I greatly admire is being vilified. Oh, I’m pissed at this injustice. That person got a win in that that person managed to disrupt the momentum we had going with the publication.

“How dare you?”

I cannot verbalize correctly how I feel, but I will tell you, readers, this, the visionary behind ILLUMINATION is none of those things he is being condemned for. I will not repeat what’s being said for I will not stoop that low. But that person who started this is pitiful.

“Oh, you’re reading this? Good. I will pray for you. Goodbye.”

The writers at ILLUMINATION know who Dr. Mehmet Yildiz is and we know what he is not.

Medium Staff, you’re investigating this. Thank you, Sirs/Madams. I have every confidence that you’ll uncover the truth. The only thing I beg you is that you do it swiftly. We want Illumination and Mehmet reinstated. Amen.

THANK YOU FOR READING I Wish You Miracles
