a little note about love pt 1


normally I would refuse to tell about love, for I haven't found the very meaning of it myself. But looking back through my two decades of life, I must say that love is indeed the answer to everything. 

but which kind of love is the answer?
well, this video of Dr. Abraham Twerski might help you to contemplate.






so here we have understood the concept of love of giving, but let me remind you, that kind of love is not the exact answer either.

because since when we give anything to Allah? it's always Him who give us everything--literally everything: life, fate, virtue, even dreams.

so when we are talking about the absolute solution, we've gotta agree that God is the one we should surrender to. and this leads us to the point where we finally realize that our only purpose in this world is to seek for His love. 

we know for sure that there will be paradise and hell in the (certainly is) upcoming hereafter. and (we all know too that) only those who are chosen by Him can be in paradise. and He certainly only chose those He loved. so to make sure we get the exclusive ticket to paradise, all we have to do is seek for His love, which will only be achieved by worshiping and praying to Him.

that's it.

so whenever someone says "love is the answer", make sure it is God's love they meant.

To Fight and Strive Together

Hari ini sungguh melelahkan.

Masih ingat tulisanku sebelumnya yang berjudul 'Ah, Failure'? Hari ini juga aku dihadapkan pada konsekuensi yang mewajibkan aku untuk mewujudkan komitmen. Komitmen untuk menepati janji yang kubuat sendiri. Hari ini aku melaksanakan tugas yang harus dikerjakan oleh mahasiswa dengan jumlah kegagalan melebihi angka yang dia anggap bisa ditanggungnya. Ditambah dengan adanya tragedi kecil berujung panjang tentang kawanku yang tidak bisa mengikuti remidi karena suatu alasan. Jadilah kami semacam laskar kecil yang membawa misi advokasi untuk memperjuangkan kawan kami yang apabila tidak berhasil maka kami akan tidak bersama-sama lagi dalam satu dan lain hal. Kami tertunduk saling merasa bersalah karena kecelakaan ...

Just some Random Thoughts

Ini H-1 Ujian Tengah Semester Ganjil tahun ke-2. I know I should be more serious but uhh it's not everyday some random thoughts appear to you. And now it happened to me. Well basically I'm gonna talk about something I don't actually know about. Love . What is love? Love is poison love is something you firstly think about when you wake up and something you think lastly right before you sleep.  Itu kata orang. Kalo kataku, love is something that will (and should) only come after marriage. Love is a something that appear after a man a a woman is bound by a sacred ceremonial called marriage. Because love is NOT a promise; marriage is. Kalo dalam bahasaku,  ''Kamu jadi pasangan aku bukan karena aku cinta kamu. Aku cinta kamu karena Tuhan menentukan kamu yang jadi pasangan hidup aku.'' Karena pernikahan adalah satu-satunya alasan kenapa kamu tahu kalau dialah yang harus jadi ayah untuk anak-anakmu, alasan kenapa kamu mau bangun pagi-pagi untuk masakin...
