Master Server

In the world of digitals, servers are the most important citizens, they are looked at as the governors of the universe… they are always maintained, backed up, upgraded and fed with data and power… On the contrary, in the world of humans… servers are the most despised, very maltreated, easily replaced and forgotten citizens… Human servers can’t be masters and masters can’t live without these servers, they fully depend on them… though they don’t respect them and they deprive them from their rights… Human servers are oppressed and always feel insecure… they know their importance though they can’t do anything to get their rights… rebelling can’t help them because they are servers… A digital server is a highly weighted and worshiped server… It is a Master Server… A digital server is much more important than a human one! How can we live with such contradictions and unfairness?!

Pyramid

It took years and years to build the Pyramids… it took the effort of many people and robbed the lives of many others… Workers who participated in this great state of the art eternal structure may have not been aware of what it will be in the future, they gave their lives to it or maybe they were forced to… Anyways, we don’t know any of them now, we just know what they did… I keep asking myself about those who died without seeing the end result of their efforts… Did they succeed? Did they fail? Should they have done what they have done? Who gets the credit for this effort? Who remembers any of them? Many people in our contemporary life strive to do good things… they don’t chase fame… they just seek their right of seeing, feeling and enjoying the outcome of their efforts… Contemplating the Pyramids they gave their lives for… I keep putting a brick over another… years have passed… I am not sure whether I am working on the right pyramid or not… and I am not sure I will live to see the results of my work… Though… I keep carrying bricks… hoping one day there will be a Pyramid!
