I used to keep asking unending questions to my graduate mates as I always wondered how it was working in the field with the qualifications that they had obtained at university. I could sense that there would be nuances between things we learned in the classroom and what exists on the street. Nonetheless, I did not expect such a huge mismatch would come out. It has always been exciting to find answers for those people who randomly raised their questions about their frustrations. That was the main reason why we studied, devoted time and energy to encourage people to find the best paths. But the field says the other way around, that is, with few exceptions all graduates were talking about two different planets.

My school-mates, whom we were studying with together, and organizing various works together with the community, for sure were working hard and dedicated themselves to helping people to overcome their obstacles. The truth was that how we were trained and what appeared on the ground were almost clashing. This fact has occupied many places in my mind for a long time. But I was not convinced at certain points with my education in Cyprus and Belgium although I obtained my qualifications with merit. This had been the main drive I stopped doing my PhD even though I was trained by dedicated and leading tutors to be an academic since my Bachelor’s.

Knowledge does not belong to you if it is not acknowledged sincerely. This is a true proverb still intact in my home town. So having big libraries and holding countless titles won’t make your works valuable, if you do not believe in what you obtained from your heart. It is, therefore, essential to provide authentic service that is neither to make people believe in vain, nor to flatter them.

Human behaviours and cognition have always been major subjects in the history of humanity. This is not something recently discovered, however, it always manifests itself with different names and practices. I, therefore, believe that practitioners should feature what comes out in the field. Time to think out of the box, this is a necessity and must be formed in training. Mainstream psychology, founded on the basis of positivist and determinist pillars, partially portrays the truth. The fact is that there are no standard people to whom you can apply your standard treatments. Humans are unique, and their behaviours should not be limited only in laboratories as people are in constant interaction with nature, that affects their behaviours and emotions from moment to moment.

To me, that somehow resembles plants that can grow only in particular places in the world. Like a cactus that is known as a native plant in North and South America. You cannot feed jasmine in the same manner you feed a cactus. Both of them are plants but how we feed them is unique to each plant’s organic needs. Likewise, in the animal world, wild cats in deserts are nuanced on many occasions in comparison to domestic cats. Even the same domestic cats might perform unique behaviours. That challenges the assumption of a universal personality and behaviour and accordingly any sort of standard psychosocial intervention. What comes forward is to bring this issue into the context of infinity. If ever an antonym exists for standardization it could perhaps be infinity. This endless diversity in nature calls us something. Is infinity the main pillar of this universe? Does really an infinite cycle of things exist in every inch of our life? Where does this universe’s border start and come end ? Is this life easy to manage? Do we people make this world hard to understand? By asking these questions you might feel like diving into the deep oceans, walking in endless fields and gliding over the borderless sky.
