Honesty

my country had just done the election for the next five years president. for more than 7 months, there are lot of wars coming from both parties, the supporters particularly. oh, even until now i guess, the day after the election. the winner hasn't been decided yet by the KPU. i think the citizen needs to wait until april 21 or 22? i don't know. i just don't really care.

oh, does it sound like i'm not an obedient citizen? no, that's not what i mean. i'll explain and you'll know why.

i actually didn't really pay attention to the election hype since i'm so not into politics. then when i watched the second round of presidential candidates debate, i found an enlightenment. they both are totally the same. yes, Indonesia had only two presidential candidates.

Be Thankful and Grateful

people in this world must acknowledge the term "we can't always get what we want", it's universal i guess, isn't it?

i know that term is make-sense so that we don't need to put expectations in everything. it teaches us how to be grateful and thankful and accept what we have now.

but, do you agree if i say that it would also make us live an ordinary life? since if we don't have expectations means we don't have dreams as well? let's think again.

our ambitious soul must get hurt to hear that term. like why should we stop? let us try at least. who knows the result? no one but God.

in my religion, we have to trust Him. always. He is the only one who decides everything that happens in life. as long as we try our best, He definitely will give us the best. that is what i believe until now.

so i think that term doesn't suit on me.

for me, i can always get what i want, but it's all about time. i may not get it now, but later. so in the process of achieving, i just need to show my best. but, if i still don't get what i want, it means He would give it to me in the different form.

i know, it sounds like "i still don't get what i want". but, try to look from other perspectives, undoubtedly, we would realise that what He gives, is really what we want but in the different form.

so in the end, it's still about how we need to be thankful and grateful. for everything.
