Pubblicazione Journal 2: Today Was a Good Day
Imagine that my dear readers, feeling so good in a day you decided to make a song about it. Some people get really bogged by just one speedbump happen in one day, this is a sign of spiritual immaturity. If I simplified it, life goes along whether you like it or not — you just decide how to react towards it. Your dog past away? He’s in the right place, your film roll burned by sunlight? It’s just a day to be mindful and not shooting anything, so on and so forth.
Our life is a complex one, if seen like it. Indians in YouTube have tried to simplify tech related issues by making numerous tutorials about it, because life is not about making it complex, it’s about series of problems that needs to be solve — by just reacting in a way that makes you feel calm and carry on with whatever it is. In my 23 years revolving around with this planet called earth, I realized that the way we respond to things reflects deeply what is in our psyche in that particular moment. If we respond with anger that means we fester hatred in our hearts, if we respond with bitterness it means we fermented disappointment so deeply we never even bother to fix it. Humans are like trees, our roots (the unseen) are the foundations in which we stand our ground — knowing who we are, what we are made of, and what kind of philosophy that suits best in the path we thread.
In WW2, Nazi Germany made some legendary war machines, one of it was called “Tiger I” tank. The capability of this war machine was so superior to the American Sherman tank that the ratio of power was 1:4 — meaning that one Tiger equals to four Sherman tanks. It was so powerful that the Tiger usually ran out of ammo before it could destroy all Sherman tanks in one single combat. No I’m not glorifying the brutality the German did in the world war. Even with such power, they didn’t win the war since the quantity of American Sherman outnumbered the creation of these Tiger tanks. Known best in the scene of Brad Pitt’s Fury (2014) movie, it is clearly that the intention of these war machines were to absorb as many as tank shells from the enemy before it could harm any troops and as a sign of intimidation towards the enemy frontline.
As Linkin Park’s “In the End” song that goes “In the end, it doesn’t really matter, I got so far and lose it all” it pretty much sums up Germany in WW2 right? However, German engineering still the leads the industry as we can see on their cars and other technological creation. The Tiger now sat at Museums, as a relic upon a time that one tank really did its job on the battlefield against outnumbering opponent in which it fought. If only humans know their foundation so well that they utilize it in synchronized to which the purpose they werecreated, life would be so much peaceful and war probably wasn’t an option. However, overtly ambitious people, corruption, force-induced actions still plague our world up until this day. There are so many people out there stuck in a phase of frustration, desperation, sorrow, and disillusionment rooted from the inability to know one’s worth.
I have a friend that once said to me “I hate when people measure through values and worth, it’s an imbalance scale that judge others not the way they are made of” though I disagree with this statement in the first glance — I realized that perhaps she was stating that everybody are in fact priceless. Judging a fish for its inability to fly is what our education seems to apply and it is hampering our own assessment to ourselves.
I hope in the future, our knowledge to our subconscious increase and our inherently priceless value add up to one kind of an acknowledgment that we are all unique and being inevitably geared towards one kind of purpose in life. If we have the privilege to know what is our purpose then perhaps you are one lucky bastard, but if not, realizing the pattern from our past behavior ultimately leads to a predictable future that we soon going to envelop. Thank you, be safe, and peace be upon you my dear readers.
