From “Being Human is Hard” by O’lmas Umarbekov — Gulchehra, from my perspective, regrets…
My first, pure love I gave to you,
My whole heart I offered as a gift, too.
In return, I had hoped for love from you,
Yet my unforgettable mistake—you became “you”!
All my attention was only on you,
My day passed with your letters in view.
If from afar I glimpsed you, my eyes would burn through,
Yet my unforgettable mistake—you became “you”!
You said you longed for my arrival, that you’d wait,
Without a word, silently, you walked away.
You hid trust completely from my vocabulary’s slate,
Yet my unforgettable mistake—you became “you”!
I heard later, you said many words,
“I didn’t love, I didn’t burn,” yet again.
You turned my whole heart into a play for your amusement,
Yet my unforgettable mistake—you became “you”!
You found your own Shirin and Layli,
Burning in their love, you became another story.
What could I have said? As always, fine…
Yet my unforgettable mistake—you became “you”!
I loved… In the end, I proved it true,
Without you, I preferred death over any rue.
I cut off even the memories that I knew,
Yet my unforgivable mistake—you became “you”!

Education is one of the most important factors in a person’s life. It not only provides knowledge but also shapes the individual, defining their worldview and approach to life. The level of education in a society directly reflects its degree of development. Where there are educated people, progress occurs, ideas flourish, and solutions to problems are found.
Today, the field of education is no longer limited to traditional methods. Modern approaches, technologies, and interactive methods have become an integral part of the learning process. Students are no longer mere listeners; they actively engage in acquiring knowledge. This fosters independent thinking, analytical skills, and the ability to draw conclusions.
The main purpose of education is not simply to provide information. Its most important goal is to nurture responsible and conscious individuals who can find their place in life. Knowledge gained today may become outdated tomorrow, but a person who knows how to think can adapt to any circumstance. Therefore, special attention must be given to developing logical reasoning, creativity, and problem-solving skills within the educational process.
In this process, the teacher’s role is invaluable. A teacher is not just a professional delivering lessons but also a guide, mentor, and motivator. Their attitude, patience, and approach significantly influence the student’s future. For this reason, a teacher must continuously work on themselves, update their knowledge, and stay in sync with the times.
The development of information technologies has made education more accessible and open. Online classes, electronic resources, and digital platforms have expanded opportunities for learning. Education is no longer limited by space or time. However, proper use of technology is essential, as it should serve as a supportive tool while the primary goal remains human development.
Education and upbringing are inseparable concepts. Alongside knowledge, human values, respect, responsibility, and patriotism must also be cultivated. Otherwise, a knowledgeable but unprincipled person will not benefit society. Therefore, the educational process should be enriched not only with lessons but also through real-life examples and a positive environment.
Overall, education is the most important investment in the future. It brings a person to maturity, elevates society, and paves the way for progress. The more attention is given to education, the brighter the future will be.

The Impact of Family Conflicts and Divorce on Children’s Psychological State
Abstract
This scientific article discusses family conflicts and divorce. The main causes of divorce and disagreements include fathers’ betrayal toward their children and family, violence under the influence of alcohol, and avoidance of family responsibilities.
Keywords:
Family, divorce, family conflicts, violence, fatherless children, psychology of girls, social adaptation
Introduction
The family is one of the most important units of society. Its environment plays a significant role in the development of children as individuals. A healthy family is the foundation of a stable society. However, today, family conflicts and divorces cause serious psychological problems in society. These situations especially manifest in the mental and emotional state of children.
Although divorce is often assessed as a problem between husband and wife, it leaves deep and unforgettable marks in the lives of children.
Main Causes of Family Conflicts and Divorce
Experience shows that one of the main reasons for divorce is fathers’ insufficient understanding of their family responsibilities and their indifferent attitude toward them. A father in the family should be not only a material provider but also a moral support. In some cases, fathers’ negligence toward the family, betrayal, or defining everything by money undermines the atmosphere of trust in the household.
In addition, alcohol consumption is one of the factors that intensifies family conflicts. Violence arising under the influence of alcohol negatively affects not only the relationship between spouses but also the psychological state of children.
The Effect of Violence and Stress on Children’s Psychology
Children growing up in a violent family environment experience constant stress. Stress is the body’s response to negative external factors, and when prolonged, it negatively impacts the child’s physical development. Such children often have high levels of anxiety and fear, and their self-confidence is significantly reduced.
According to psychological research, children who witness family quarrels often experience:
Low self-esteem compared to peers
Difficulty in social adaptation
Persistent fear and anxiety
Psychosomatic and health-related psychological problems
These children struggle to express their thoughts freely.
The Psychological State of Fatherless Children
After divorce, in many cases, the father leaves the family, and children grow up without a father. Some children grow up without ever seeing their father. In such children, the internal need and longing for a father are strong, and sometimes even the sound of a door knocking sparks the hope that “maybe my father has come.” This reflects the unstable expectations and emotional void in the child’s inner world.
Fatherless children grow up craving affection. Mothers often try to give them love both as a mother and father, giving all they can, but a father’s love cannot be fully replaced. A father’s love is different and unique; every child has a personal place for the father that no one else can fill.
Fatherless girls often express themselves through education. Psychologically, girls who grow up without a father are forced to mature earlier. According to multiple studies, these girls demonstrate strong goal-oriented behavior. Among girls whose fathers left, the desire to support their mothers and make them happy is often very strong. Consequently, they strive for education, self-improvement, and earning a respected position in society. For them, knowledge is not only a means of development but also a tool to overcome life’s challenges.
At the same time, such girls have strong spiritual needs. Specifically, the need for a father’s moral support and prayers often remains unfulfilled. Receiving a father’s blessing (oq fotihasi) becomes a lifelong longing.
Conclusion
In conclusion, family conflicts and divorces represent a serious psychological issue for society. The greatest victims of these processes are children, who grow up with trust issues and health-related problems. In particular, girls who grow up without a father face greater challenges in life.

Alisher Navoiy and His Literary Heritage: His Unparalleled Place in Uzbek Literature
Abstract
Alisher Navoiy is one of the greatest figures in the history of Uzbek literature. His творчество not only made an immense contribution to the development of the Uzbek language but also had a profound influence on world literature. This article explores Alisher Navoiy’s life, literary heritage, philosophical views, most famous works, and historical significance. It also analyzes how Navoiy’s творчество is perceived in the modern era and how his works influence the thinking and worldview of contemporary readers. Navoiy is examined as a poet, thinker, and statesman, and his role in today’s cultural and spiritual heritage is evaluated.
Keywords: Alisher Navoiy, Uzbek literature, poetry, Fuzuli, love, Sufism, historical heritage
Introduction
Alisher Navoiy (1441–1501) is recognized as one of the greatest poets and literary figures of Central Asia. Born in the city of Herat (present-day Afghanistan), Navoiy had an unparalleled influence not only on Uzbek literature but also on the development of the entire Turkic and Persian literary traditions. The deep philosophical thought, spiritual meaning, and poetic mastery found in his works have been studied for centuries. This article provides a detailed analysis of Navoiy’s contribution to literature and culture, as well as his life, works, and philosophical views.
Main Part
1. Alisher Navoiy: His Life and Personality
Alisher Navoiy was born in 1441 in Herat, which was part of the Timurid Empire. Raised in an intellectually rich family, he studied literature, philosophy, logic, astronomy, and religious sciences from a young age. Despite living during a period of political instability, he served as a minister in the court of Sultan Husayn Bayqara.
Although he was a statesman, he paid great attention to the development of art, science, and literature, supporting many scholars and poets. His personality harmoniously combined the qualities of a politician, poet, and Sufi thinker.
2. Navoiy’s Works: The Harmony of Poetry and Philosophy
Alisher Navoiy was an extremely prolific writer, and his works cover a wide range of themes, including love, morality, justice, enlightenment, and spiritual perfection.
His most famous work is Khamsa (“The Quintet”), a collection of five epic poems, which includes:
Hayrat al-Abrar (“Wonder of the Righteous”) – a moral and philosophical work discussing virtue and the spiritual principles of society.
Farhad and Shirin – an epic devoted to tragic love.
Layli and Majnun – a famous love story symbolizing divine love and spiritual madness.
Sab’ai Sayyar (“Seven Planets”) – a work about enlightenment, justice, and governance.
Saddi Iskandari (“The Wall of Alexander”) – a poem devoted to wisdom, politics, and leadership.
Navoiy’s mastery of language, thought, and genre has ensured that his works remain valued not only in his own era but also today.
3. Sufism and Philosophy: The Foundation of Navoiy’s Worldview
One of the most important aspects of Navoiy’s творчество is Sufi philosophy. Sufism is based on the ideas of spiritual purification, closeness to God, and the cleansing of the soul.
In his work Muhabbatnama (“The Book of Love”), the concept of love is interpreted not only as a feeling between people but also as a spiritual path toward reaching the Creator.
For Navoiy, true love is the path that leads the soul toward perfection.
4. Navoiy and the Uzbek Literary Language
Although Navoiy wrote in two languages—Persian and Turkic (Chagatai)—his greatest contribution was elevating the Turkic language to a high literary level. During a time when Persian dominated literary expression, he deliberately wrote in Turkic and demonstrated its rich expressive possibilities.
By doing so, he laid a strong foundation for Uzbek literature.
5. Navoiy’s Legacy in Modern Literature and Thought
Even today, Alisher Navoiy’s творчество has not lost its relevance. His works have been translated into many languages and are studied worldwide. In Uzbekistan, February 9 is celebrated annually as “Navoiy Day.”
His ideas about justice, compassion, knowledge, and love remain an invaluable spiritual heritage for modern society.
Conclusion
Alisher Navoiy was not only a poet but also a great thinker, statesman, and spiritual leader whose influence has endured for centuries. The poetic beauty, philosophical depth, and spiritual values in his works continue to inspire humanity to reflect and to cultivate self-improvement.
Navoiy’s heritage is an invaluable treasure of the Uzbek people and an integral part of world culture.
