On Piece of Believing

As much as I like to have faith in Islam, a piece of belief can never reflect me as a whole. To believe isn’t necessarily represent the beliefs itself. And to believe can never ever tells us what’s wrong with the beliefs. But as a conscious and rational human being, we have to proceed with a given acceptable method (or invent one). To know what’s wrong is to know thyself.

When it comes to unraveling the mystery of life at its fullest, I once did self-discovery. A gamble for throwing up everything I believe. While human has developed logic and validated scientific method in their attempt to have a clear picture of the world where they live in, human will always have its way for having a revolutionary progression. Except, it is not as simple as that. And never was.

“This pursuit of answer is a lifelong learning process, an evolution of understanding in which many known and unknown variables need to be considered. Reading a different sentence, encountering a different person, thinking a different idea at a particular time, even in a short term, could lead into a different understanding. Let alone a specific life course that everyone has been through.”

That saying goes a long way. Faith have some sort of power we can’t even comprehend. It’s not that there is a scientific proof nor physical law behind this belief. Nevertheless, faith can change someone’s mindset. Someone can acquire knowledge by exposing them self to faith. And from this change of ideas it could gear up the chain of civilization. I remember how medieval were dominated by Muslims and long after that Jew-related progression that highlight the Europe history.

To believe something is also to spread the belief. And to spread the belief, surprisingly, is enough to changes one’s mindset and it will eventually change one’s behavior given enough time. Adding specific time to the equation, a new behavior will fabricate something new. This something new will decorate the human progression we usually called technology.

All in all, people must humble themselves knowing that whichever way the civilization going, we can’t never be sure whether it’s true or wrong. But by having faith, I learn that human have this tendency to destruct themselves. Human have this behavior to rebel what he belief and will always find the way to cross the line. This is why there is always a guide for everything. From the tiniest dust to the hugest mountain. This is why there is catalog of a mystery in which experiences and ages are fail to level us up within evolution of thinking. This is why there is always a miracle for those who believe. Thus, for the curiosity that never settles down and the hearts that still seek on something, there is always a time to learn every day till the end of time.

Notulensi Majelis Ilmu Jogokariyan : Burung dan Semut #Part1

Untuk pertama kalinya, saya akan mengangkat topik mengenai apa yang saya percaya disini. Meski sudah seyogyanya tiap apa yang kita lakukan berlandaskan percaya, pengangkatan topik yang baru sekarang ini tidak lain tidak bukan merupakan pembuka atas semua tulisan. Penjelasan bahwasanya segala yang saya lakukan (termasuk menulis disini) sebenarnya merupakan implementasi kepercayaan yang saya yakini. Hasil paling akhir dari sebuah proses percaya dan berpikir. Percaya tidak ada apa apanya bukan apabila hanya diamini dalam dada tanpa aksi nyata.

Pilot: The Beginning of The End

Have you ever think for once that life is short? Even though it's the longest we ever experience Or the more time we have, the more time there is to waste? As counter intuitive as it sounds, if life lasted forever we might never get around to asking someone out on a date, writing a journal, or traveling around the world, because there will always be tomorrow.

About (effective) crying

Lot of things happened recently. And to document what happened isn't easy for me, especially to express it verbally. But recent moments is enough to (again) realize and take a look on something: the more I resist to deny that I never cry, the more I have this ability to recall each tears I've spent on something. The more I want stuff to happen, the more likely it won't happened at all. The more I did not expect something foolishly, the more calmness followed.

2k16

First of all. Sorry it took some times for the post. Both contributor had to span holidays and we agreed to postpone our writing for the next deadline. So here I am. Writing (dedicated to this blog) for the first time in 2k16.

Takut di Laut

Salah satu cita—citaku adalah u ntuk tinggal di atas laut berhari-hari. Tak perlu naik kapal pesiar yang super mahal itu, karena itu menyebabkan aku kebal ombak. Aku ingin merasakan badai yang mengguncang tanpa ampun. Membuatku tersiram air garam basah dan tak ada pilihan. Merasakan keputusasaan terombang-ambing karena sebenarnya perjalanan masih panjang atau tiba-tiba bisa berhenti saat itu juga.
