A Sweet (Bitter) Life [A Christian Article]

This is a usual conversation:
B: Are we alive?
A: Yeah, we do.

B: How would you know that we are alive?
A: Because we are created by God and live by grace.
A: What about you?

B: So, do you feel alive?
B: I'm in a pain.

A: Why?
B: You know, because I played football yesterday and my finger hurts. :P
A: WTF? (*!$(_#@. I thought it was real!
B: LOL. :P

Well, that's because the person is hurt, but no one have ever listen. The person perceive a sense that nobody should be bother with the person's life. So, the person decide to hide it and change the topic to have the usual subject.

The person stays to choose ignoring the fact that the heart is broken. With hope, uneasiness, and delusion that someday will be okay, the person decide to walk forward. Waiting for the day where the person can smile because life embracing the person, making the person to be able to smile again, only at that day it's coming from the deepest part of the person's heart.

As for today, the person can only waiting. Put layers of smile, clinging to the hope of that time will come. Sometimes that smile becoming a smirk when no other people sees.

Are you that person?

How about if I tell you just to let it go and starts smile. God's loving us so much that He Himself comes to this forsaken world. Jesus has the power to do miracle.

Now what is a miracle?

To average person, miracle means when someone comes from the death, a very sick people becomes healed, and business becomes well.

But, did you know that what is actually the miracle of Jesus?

When a splitted family reunite again.
When a broken heart comes new again.
When a stabbed person can accept and forgive the stabber.
When a bad person that no one would be like to be associate with the person, embracing God.

To put it simple, what Jesus' miracle is:

To help a person to make a right decision: choose to have a happy life.

PS: Do you know that we have the right to be happy?

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

I Hate Marvel Civil War Storyline In Comic

See this snippets from The Amazing Spiderman: [1] http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/4625006.html The snippets on [1] made it clear: Stan Lee made Spidey have a strong believe in Privacy. The comic strips show how Spidey even have to face charges because of his anonymity. The accuser even made many accusation to other entities for political attacks. A fan-art/art I've found in the 90's illustrated Spiderman standing in front of Peter Parker tomb. I don't know if that was originally from comic book or fan-made, 90's are a long time ago. That art mesmerized me and introduced me to the importance of privacy. In late nineties, I was joined to a program hold by an NGO. So, at that time I know how crucial a privacy was (and still is) to humanity. I'm not exaggerating! Humanity would fall to big financial organizations if people could not voice their fears in anonymity. Whistleblowers around the world would not dare to come up. We would not see any suppression ge...
