Remember To Live


This quote reminded me of a conversation that I had with a close friend of mine, last week.

"I don't wanna spend my entire life to find solutions.", he told me firmly. And he is one of the most logical, non-judgemental, accepting, and caring person that I've ever known. He also reads lots of philosophy books and global-issues related books, and he is actually the first person that I would go to, whenever I need a deep discussions about philosophy, history, politics, religions, and even Western-Eastern related matters.

So, for someone like him, to put and end at the search of solutions, was both intriguing and yet relieving to me. Especially when it happened at the same time when I was actually trying to reconstruct my understanding and definition of time, energy, potentials, and life.

The urge to improve, is just as addictive as the urge to be different, or to reach perfection. Changes could be addicting at certain point, and it works like a distraction to our mind and towards the issues that we are facing.

At some point, we have to learn to sit with ourselves, to stop going around chasing solutions, face the current situation, be comfortable with it, and accept it as what it is. To enjoy life the way it is.

Sometimes, to not find any solution, is actually the solution.

----

"Whatever I've solved, I will have another pretty soon. It's just how the mind works; it either thinks of creating, spending or fixing. It doesn't bother whether it is creating a problem, or a solution, or a product, or an opportunity, or even a catastrophe. It just needs to process something. That's why meditation is good for the mind, and to have a problem that we don't solve, could be a good thing for the mind to have something to process, too. Enjoying life always is a good thing to do."

Education & Detachment

"I believe that the true value of education lies not in the accumulation of knowledge, but rather in the cultivation of the ability to educate oneself. It is not a finite endpoint, but an ongoing process that requires self-reflection, curiosity, and a willingness to learn. The same goes to detachment; it is not solely about releasing attachments to things and people, but rather about cultivating the ability to recognize our attachments and the hold they have on us. It is not about becoming indifferent or apathetic towards the world around us. Rather, it is about the process of cultivating inner freedom, that requires ongoing practice and self-reflection, much like the process of education. Both education and detachment are important for us to master, for only when we feel enough about ourselves and stop making our lives as the center of the world, or the projects to fix, we can then learn more about the universe and how life actually works. And isn't that the greatest desire a...

Health: Gout, Purine & Uric Acid

I am at that age, where having regular blood test is normal, especially on uric acid and cholesterol (Yes, I'm old lol). On this post, I will write about Gout and Uric Acid only, and will talk about Cholesterol on next post. After 5 months since my first Gout attack, reading lots and lots of medical journals and health books, doing so many trials and errors, I can safely say, I now have figure out how to maintain it below 5.5 while still consuming enough protein to support my strength training. I've taken note of my daily food for months and measure my uric acid level in weekly basis to check the reaction I get from each food that I eat (everyone has different reaction towards food), and maintained my uric acid below 5.5 since then. Most labs and doctors actually take 6 as the normal uric acid level for female and 7 for male, but according to some health book that I read, below 5.5 is the best either for male and female. (*1) PLEASE NOTE Here, I will share what I have found an...

Seni Dan Karya

Tidak akan pernah bisa kita membandingkan karya seseorang dengan lainnya. Dan memang bukan begitu juga cara kita menghargai sebuah karya. Sebuah karya butuh waktu dan pemahaman untuk dapat bekerja secara maksimal. Tujuan tiap orang membuat karya berbeda – beda, maka sudah tentu hasil karyanya akan berbeda juga. Sebuah karya itu seyogyanya adalah hasil dari pemikiran, pemahaman, perasaan, dan sudut pandang seorang pembuat karya, terhadap satu tema atau topik tertentu. Apakah seorang pembuat karya tersebut telah menyelami segalanya, atau hanya melihat dari permukaan saja, itu yg akan membedakan nilai dan rasa sebuah karya. Mungkin itu agak sulit dipahami? Begini saja. Kita ambil contoh mudahnya. Pemerkosaan. Mereka yg belum pernah mengalami ataupun berhubungan dengan pemerkosaan, akan sangat berbeda sudut pandangan nya dengan mereka yg sudah mengalami atau berhubungan dengan hal tersebut. Lalu kalau dikaryakan? Wah pasti beda jauh. Pahit, getir, sakit, pedih itu nyata. Namun sebuah karya...
