Moving On


 I know lots of people think of this music is about the struggle of moving on from a failed relationships. The lyrics talked about how one knows doesn't mean one moves. We love to fall on the same pit, like a moth to the fire, like a deer on the headlight, like a cow into the slaughter house. 

We refuse to move even when we know we should. There are strings attached to us. 

- The blood, sweat, and sacrifice to get there. A struggle when you try to win the war. How you have detach all other things just to make this relationship works.

- Another people who potentially could get the most damages, e.g. the children if this is a toxic marriage.

- The pride when the condition is what one defines oneself unconsciously. This is when you have put your whole life to hate one common enemy. 

The last one probably best about how you hate someone so much and so long that you have already forget the original reason. 

And I think this is the best reason for the song. Originally, the song is about people from opposite sides having trouble to forgive the other side.

The album, A Thousand Suns, was talking about the society and war. And this song was on the second half of the track. That was why I think this song talked about post-war situation.

I don't know the answer for this.

We know the answer is there, but we don't take it. I don't want to blame you, my soul. We are such a fool like any other person.

Let's take little steps. Don't be hasty. God loves the forsaken and the hurt. You are not alone, my soul.

Friend, who reads this, you are not alone.

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...
