The World IS Spinning

It is the job of military to keep the kingdom safe and it is the job of the a king to lead the people.

War is an issue of deprivation of humanity. But it made progress, it made innovations and sadly it was the thing that moved the world. Many technology frontiers are being advanced by war. With this merit, some capable people would say that war is not a bad thing.

War is the worst thing!

The problem is, how we will be ever there, a place in time where war is a history lesson and viewed as legendary? Nothing has ever accomplished to eradicate it. There will be wars one way or another.

I've seen many peace pursuer giving up the hope to stop war. But I would like to share a theory of mine of how to pursue dreams without ever burning out -- or at least get the fire on again.

Stay Faith In Your Circle

I believe in the words from Bible that suggests us to stay faith in little things before we are entrusted in bigger ones. It offer a basic wisdom in believing an ideal. It gives panacea in walking the dream. I believe it was like the words used to say in MTV, "Think global, act local."

There is no way a man would change the world. It needs a collective of people with the same desire. Fortunately, it doesn't require a total of population. It only needs few that could stay true to the cause and keep influencing people to do it. It needs people to dream high.

To dream high means that we have to realize that the road takes more than our lifetime. That's what I have realized in the very beginning of my dream. Nothing is new nor rocket science, that trick is what keeping me keep true to my dream.

To have a conscience about the height of our dream will ensure us to not forcing ourselves to achieve the dream in one go. We will see that our lives as one of the contributors.

Now, think about the narrowest thing that we could do with our dreams. Then, share it. Expand your responsibility, but don't be greedy. There are things that we can't do outside our circle. Don't try to fit those in yet.

It is just like an RPG, the main character can't kill the boss dungeon yet.  We have to go leveling up, solve many side quests and find some companions along the way. There is this excitement when we discover some new sites and clearing some dungeon.  We should not forget about this excitement.

To have a belief in a high dream is a tricky matter. The problem to achieve it is not the problem to hurdle but the heart to bear.

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...
