Şüşä

To speak of Şüşä (az. "glass") is to speak of the human as transparent, as though fashioned not of stone or iron but of light itself. In its purity, transparency reveals both strength and fragility: one can see through it, and yet in seeing, one perceives the unguarded essence within. To be transparent is to be honest, to carry no shadow that conceals the soul’s true form. The ancients might have called this clarity a virtue — a soul so unclouded that it becomes like water or crystal, impossible to counterfeit, incapable of disguise. Such transparency is not weakness, but a radical sincerity, a reminder that the most natural quality of the human spirit may be its ability to let others see through it, as through glass, and glimpse the quiet purity within.
