Gray

My dearest friend,
life is gray.


That is why,
I prefer giving them emotional support, you prefer giving them a way out. 
I prefer a peck, you prefer a glance.
I prefer the longest route, you prefer the shortest cut.
I prefer taking risks, you prefer playing it safely.
We are unalike.

I believe I am right, but I can't exactly say you are wrong. You are right as well.
Yet at the same time, you are wrong. And so do I.
That makes us similar. 

You know. We all are living in the world of gray.

Now, it is your call to decide, which kind of gray would you prefer?
The lighter one or the darker one?

Jadi kayak bisa bikin pembaca over-optimistic dan bodoh seperti saya merasa it’s okay to questioning everything sambil tetap hopeful about life… He certainly was a lovely and witty man. Dalam bukunya, Brief Answers to the Big Questions, Hawking menjelaskan konsep-konsep theoretical ph...

Forgiveness

[This was written around 3 months ago.] For a past few months, I listened to a lot of Eckhart Tolle’s teachings. In one of his teachings, He shared the story of his father’s anger issue which made him had to go through a miserable and fearful childhood. He resented his father for that. Nonetheless, at one point of his life, Eckhart found the inner peace and forgiveness happened. He said, “It was as if he has never done anything. I realized he did what he did according to the way in which life has conditioned him.” Eckhart regarded his father as someone who was ‘as much as a victim as myself’.   It is a profound wisdom that we all actually have inside us. Those who hurt as, those who put us into what we think as a depressing life, is in fact as much as a victim as ourselves. What they did was wrong, but they are conditioned to choose what they chose to do. And we also need to remember that it is through them life teaches us to liberate ourselves from suffering. It is throu...
