Omaros the Round: A Wadana Story

This fictional piece is a critical satire of flatterers and sycophants, round ghosts without edges or corners, without spines, who have invaded the place of people of character with edges, corners and spines. Anatolia was a region of the Dudu Empire around 1500 BC. The empire covered a very large area. Supreme God Hatti, the god of the Empire, was located close to the sun. Since the sun is more effective in the south direction, the Supreme God Hatti was generally located in the south. The hottest city was the city of Zuwatna. People sometimes call this city Wadana or Adana. The city of Wadana was close to both the sun and the Supreme God Hatti. The people of the city of Wadana, which would be known as Adana in the following centuries, were also very friendly. The presence of the Almighty God Hatti was felt very much in this region. The abundance of olive trees was a blessing from the Almighty God Hatti for the people living here. Religiousness was considered a necessity, and being moral was considered a virtue. When the personality of the people of this region was combined with the principle of being religious and moral, their characters became bulletproof. It was as if religion and morality had come down to earth here. The Supreme God Line was not up there. He was on earth and among people. That's why the city of Wadana was on very good terms with both God Almighty Hatti and the sun. Wadana was the religious center of the Dudu Empire. In this hot city, Wadana, lived a round person called Omaros (The Round). Omaros had no corner at all. He lived to be round because he was aware of the benefits of being round. Omaros chose roundness, which is the opposite of angular. His real name was Umeret. Umeret's father used to go to pray at the temple built for the Almighty God Hatti. Prayer time was held at a different time of day and on a different day of the week each time. The priest preaching in the temple would describe the justice and honesty of Monk Umeret and give examples from his life. Umeret's father was very impressed by these sermons. For this reason, he thought of naming his future child Umeret. He wanted his child to be religious, honest and just like Monk Umeret. This wish of his father also affected the mother too. So, they decided that the name of the newborn child would be Umeret. In Wadana, the principle that the spiritual weight of the name given to children also affected the child's personality was widespread. This was also influential in Umeret's parents' decision. It has been 40 days since Umeret was born. Mother and father now began to observe the effect of the gravity and spirituality that came from the name Monk Umeret in Umeret. The mother always gave her milk to Umeret in the name of Supreme God Hatti. After all, the name Umeret had spiritual weight in her baby. The mother began to pay attention to see the signs of this weight. The summer season was starting to show itself better. Sometimes the temperature became very oppressive. Umeret's doting mother could not find a solution to the hot and oppressive weather. A wheel made of wood could bring some coolness. The mother turned the wheel with her hands. Although the light breeze coming from the rotating wheel was not a complete solution, the effect of the hot air was decreasing slightly. Even a slight coolness was very important. Umeret was hungry at an hour when the hot weather was getting more intense. The mother first tried to spin the wheel. There was nothing else in the house that could turn. The mother focused her eyes on Umeret's eyes while Umeret's feeding continued. Her maternal feeling encouraged her to make eye contact with Umeret and communicate with him. His mother, who watched Umeret for a while, had difficulty in making contact with Umeret's eyes. Umeret's eyes were looking towards another point. The mother, who was a little disturbed by this situation, tried to determine what Umeret was paying attention to. Umeret's eyes were focused on the spinning wheel. The mother thought that this focus was due to the coolness coming from the spinning wheel. Mother slowed down and accelerated the rotation of the spinning wheel. She tried to understand exactly what Umeret was focusing on. Umeret could watch the wheel's rotation closely. The wheel, whose speed decreased, caused a smile on Umeret's face. There was no sign of a smile in his look at her mother, who was always watching over her son. Her son's interest in spinning things also caught the mother's attention. It never occurred to him that his son would roll around in the future, spin like a top, change from color to color, and that since he had no fixed form or shape, he would become an edgeless and spineless creature that could take on any shape. Having reached the age of walking, Umeret could now walk out the door of their one-room house. He could walk on his own in the small courtyard of the house. This situation was actually supposed to make his mother smile, but her mother's face did not smile. She didn't know why, but she didn't feel like smiling at all. Umeret, walking sloppy in the courtyard, was always heading towards the watermelons that his father had placed in the shade of the olive tree in the garden of the house. Then he was trying to roll the watermelon as hard as he could. As he rolled the watermelon, his face was smiling and he wanted to roll it more. He once tried to roll himself by sitting on a rolling watermelon. If the watermelon had been a little bigger, he would have stuck under it. Umeret's love of rolling and tumbling could also have been a source of joy for his mother. However, when his mother took into consideration Umeret's interest and fondness for other circles, she began to worry. Once, Umeret did not like the loaf of bread his father brought home and advised him to buy round pita bread. He didn't like the lemons at home very much either. Orange would look better to Umeret. He especially liked large and round oranges. He didn't like to eat them very much, but he loved to roll them in his hands. One day, he asked his mother why he wasn't round like a watermelon or an orange. He wanted to roll over, but his body was not suitable for it. He couldn't understand why he couldn't roll over and he got very angry about it with his child mind. Although Umeret's love of circles and his desire to always roll worried the mother, the spirituality of the name Umeret kept her away from these concerns. As a result, she hoped that the spirituality and personality of Monk Umeret would be transmitted to her son, under the influence of the given name Umeret. So, she thought she didn't need to worry too much. Umeret had reached school age. His parents really wanted him to go to school. His mother thought that if the spirituality that came with the name Umeret was added to what was taught at school, her son could reach the spirituality and personality of Monk Umeret. There was even a possibility that he could surpass Monk Umeret's level. School life began. There were many children like him in the class. There were boys and girls in the class. The teacher's name was Orgus. The teacher wrote his name in capital letters on the classroom blackboard: ORGUS. Umeret's eyes suddenly sparkled. His eyes focused on the letter O. "It's such a round thing," he thought to himself. He didn't even care that it was a letter. The important thing was that it was round. In the first days of school, teacher Orgus glued a large cardboard with all the letters of the alphabet written on it to the blackboard. The teacher would introduce his students to the letters of the alphabet. The students in the class went to the blackboard one by one. They sang the letters together with the teacher. It was Umeret's turn, but Umeret forgot to sound out the letters. His eyes focused on the letters. Then he put his finger on the letters O and Ö and said that he liked these two letters very much and the others were not necessary. He even said that the letter Ö should not exist. He said that the two dots on it prevented the letter from being round, so Ö was not a good letter either. Another day, teacher Orgus placed the cardboard with numbers written on the board. Umeret never liked numbers. 6, 8 and 9 intrigued him a little, but they weren't round enough. He asked the teacher if it was a round number. The teacher added the number 0 at the top of the sheet. When Umeret said that it was a letter, teacher Orgus said that the same circle was also called zero as a number. Umeret was very happy about this situation. When he realized that being round had such a benefit, his whole body felt happy. The O shape could be both a letter and a number. He even started to think about what would happen if the number of this letter or number increased. Two letters o next to each other, two zeros next to each other. It was a great feeling for Umeret to have so many circles. When he moved from letters to words, Umeret identified an important problem. The first letter of his name was U. He didn't like this at all. This letter was not round enough. Umeret remembered the written form of the teacher's name. It was O there, not U. He had to fix this situation. Umeret told the teacher that he wanted to change the letter U at the beginning of his name. If this change occurred, his name would no longer be Umeret but Omeret. The teacher said it would be better to have Omaros instead of Omeret. Umeret accepted this immediately. What was important to him was the letter O, not the other letters. The roundness of this letter was most important to him. Round person needed round name. He determined his name as Omaros. it was no longer Umeret. When he thought of the letter O, he became drunk with joy. What a great feeling it was to be round and rolling. There was no need for his mother and father's approval. There was no longer Omeret but OMAROS. As his school life progressed, Omaros's circular preference also diversified. Teacher Orgus drew geometric shapes on the blackboard. Triangle, rectangle, trapezoid, circle. The trapezoidal and circular circle seemed interesting to Omaros. It wasn't too crooked, but it still had corners. The answer to the question "Do you want to be a trapezoid or a circle?" would of course be a circle. There was power in being round in a circle. To be strong, it was necessary to be round. The globe sitting on the classroom bookshelf was another interesting thing. Omaros would touch the sphere from time to time and watch it spin. He was very happy when he learned that the shapes on the globe were also the world. After all, he lived in a rotating world. Even if it stopped, it always turned. This amazing feeling was intoxicating Omaros. The rotation of the sphere started with touch. But the world was turning on its own. The question of what is inside a world that revolves around itself and rolls around itself came to his mind. All the circles he knew could be rolled. The world was rolling too. So, rolling meant power. In order to roll, over and over again, one must have either power or be next to power and identify with power. If you don't have the strength, you have to roll with the strong.
