Show by Timeless Fairy Tales
"She took my son from me." "His mother interferes in everything." These two sentences are often spoken in two different rooms of the same house, and in the middle stands a man caught between the two people he loves. From the Book of Dede Korkut we tell the story of Kanturalı and Selcan Hatun: Selcan rescues Kanturalı from the hands of his enemies, but when her husband, his pride wounded, aims his bow at her, how does she shoot her arrow? We carry the wisdom of that arrow into the space between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.📖 Sources:• The Book of Dede Korkut: The Story of Kan Turalı, Son of Kanlı Koca.• Quran, Surah Fussilat, verse 34: "Good and evil are not equal. Repel evil with what is better, and then the one between whom and you there was enmity will become like a warm friend."• Hadith (Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud): "Whoever does not show mercy to our young and respect to our elders is not one of us."• Quatrain attributed to Yunus Emre: "Come, let us get to know each other, let us make things easy; / let us love and be loved, the world belongs to no one."💬 What small step could you take this week to melt the ice between you and your mother-in-law or daughter-in-law?
