Lintasan Titik Putih

"Saya jenuh... saya ingin lari... saya ingin menghilang... saya ingin melompati pagar-pagar penghalang... saya ingin segera mencapai tempat terdamai... saya ingin melihat titik putih..."
"Namun, saya sadar... bahkan tangan pun butuh urat-urat dan kesadarannya untuk membalikkan telapak... warna putih akan terlihat datar, tanpa hiasan warna-warna lain... bahwa jalan raya, tak semulus saat kita naik kendaraan melintasinya... karena masih ada mereka yang akan selalu berharap dan menunggu saya kembali keluar dari lintasan titik putih "

Myth

Pursuit of Happiness

The title might be an old-fashioned term. Movie, music lyrics, and even it became the principle of Gottfrield Leibniz over John Locke's in shaping the American founding documents. The victory of "the pursuit of happiness" and the general welfare over Locke's "life, liberty and prosperity" (taken at http://www.schillerinstitute.org/strategic/treaty_of_westphalia.html).


Define "happiness"! It could be a relative matter in which everybody has their own perspective towards the happiness itself. Ones may think differently that they will be happy if they have a huge house, glamourous interior design and property within, with loads of money savings, companies, and living as a socialite. Some others could have thought that when they live with the persons they love and be the loved one, they already reach the happiness even though only live in a simple neighbourhoods with a simple house.


The different perspectives will always happen, as human beings have no limit of satisfactory feelings. As a realist, you will always expand your territory, in order to pursue a relative power in order to reject your fear, as it is human nature. As a marxist, happiness will never reach the limit since you don't enlarge your capital until you got the infinite welfare and material.


Everybody must have their own concerns towards what decision and action they chose in order to reach the happiness. As a daughter, I'd like to be successful in carrier and study, making my parents proud and happy. That's my prior goal at the moment, indeed. As a believer and human being, one of God's creatures, I also have to do what HE want me to do, and avoid the don'ts. Meanwhile, I'm also trying to reach my other goals since I have some other functions in society. As a good citizen, I'd like to do my best for my country. And, as everybody wants to be loved, I do either.


The basic happiness, to my opinion, comes from our surroundings. We live, we make or do things (jobs), we be fruitful to others, we should love what we do and do what we love. If I may conclude, one word for happiness, L.O.V.E.

Once, in a movie entitled Pursuit of Happiness...

Ketika Asumsi-asumsi Beraksi


"Living in a world which is full of assumptions is kinda sailing on a boat in the middle of the ocean. Human being is granted with mind and brain to consider how to survive, keep standing on their own feet, and being harmless to others. However, there's the one and only Helper, Allah SWT."

"Hasbunallah wani'mal wakil
(Cukuplah Allah sebagai penolong kami, dan Allah adalah sebaik-baik tempat bersandar)."
(QS. Ali Imran: 173)
