...The beauty and mystery of this world only emerges through affection, attention, interest and compassion; if you want to live in the paradise where happy mares and stallion live, open your eyes wide and actually see this world by attending to its colors, details and irony.
In "My Name Is Red," Orhan Pamuk explores the idea that true appreciation of the world requires love, care, and curiosity. He suggests that beauty and wonder can only be recognized when we pay close attention to the intricate details and emotions around us. Engagement with the world is essential to fully experience its richness and complexity.
Pamuk encourages readers to embrace a deeper perception of life, urging them to notice the vibrant colors and subtle ironies that surround us. By doing so, one can transcend the mundane and step into a metaphorical paradise, experiencing the joy and connection that comes from a heartfelt interaction with the world, much like the harmonious existence of happy mares and stallions.
