Uzm. Dr. B. Serra Şentekin

Do not comfort yourself with lies every day, trying to convince yourself that your life is wonderful. Do not try to believe that at least one of your coworkers truly cares. That your spouse is, at least, better than other spouses. That despite being disappointed over and over again, you still have at least one close friend. That no matter what, thankfully, your child is more loyal than many others.
That the doctor you go to is, thank God, better than the one most people go to. Do not try to believe it. Do not keep believing that you are alive when you are nothing more than walking dead, living a life where everything is not the best, but merely "good enough."When you spend your life as a stand-in for others, do not shout "You are selfish" at those same people when they tell you, "Your job is done, you can go now."You are mistaken.
As long as you do not take ownership of your own life, As long as you do not build your own awareness, As long as you do not set your own rules, As long as you wander through other people's life gardens and breathe with other people's lungs, There will always be guests in your life who say, "I will just check what benefits me and then I will leave."The people you think are using you will take your trust, your longing, your friendship, and perhaps even your life, the way someone buys discounted goods from a store with a "CLOSING DOWN" sign on the door.
And the only person you should ask "Why?" is yourself. This book is about that. It tells you that living like a parasite still adds nothing to your life. That the people you call selfish are actually those who have clearly defined the boundaries of their own lives. That they complete what they lack by taking from others. And that there is no such thing as "self-interest, " only the name you give to the kind of people you wish you had the courage to become.
