The misery of Belinda's success!

As I listened to some sequences from the Deputy Prime Minister's recitation in the Assembly, I recognized the special and invisible tragedy that is experienced only in the offices of power and on the bright screens: The tragedy of a successful but miserable man!

Belinda, who got everything she dreamed of - the dream job, the position, the benefits, the applause - seemed like an empty shell wandering through successes that were perfect, only in her recitation.
The woman who smiles in photos, shakes hands at conferences, who is sung to at inaugurations, success had not been "forgiven" to her and victories had become heavy.

My generation grew up between two eras. Somewhere along the way, some of us mistakenly learned to equate productivity with purpose and visibility, with value. They rushed to achieve great things because everyone else was running, assuming that the finish line would bring fulfillment. Obsessed with the idea of ​​“what comes next,” they rarely asked, “what matters?” They built resumes, not lives; they aimed for heights while losing their foundations; they accumulated credentials but forgot to cultivate care.
Careless, drunk on the adrenaline of power, dragged along by ambition that always demanded more of them, they unwittingly fell into the trap of success where promotion, praise, money, applause, come at the cost of sovereignty, freedom, peace, and with enough skeletons piled up in the closet.

Success in power is noisy, measured, compared, and judged, but I am sure that Belinda's success (or anyone else in government) does not bother or bother anyone, neither in that hall nor outside it.

Because true success is not a finish line; success is a mirror. It reflects what you have done along the way, and for the Deputy Prime Minister, with the open issues in SPAK, this reflection is unpleasant.

Life is like that. One day, the applause fades, the headlines fall, and the historical moments fade into memory.
So true success, the one that lingers and is hard to forgive, does not belong to those who are very famous, but to those who are worthy of being known.
