The Buddha

lets go back thousand of years back - where we have a place where its filled with thousand of swami's ( monks ), religious dogmatic principle ruled the day, where logic and questions is not entertained and welcome, the universe grant us a man - who defied, challenge, questioned everything, the one who found a question where no one could answer

" how to defeat old age, sickness and ultimately death"

the vicious cycle - where we need to face until our debt is finished once and for all. Imagine going to high school back, facing all the miserable tests, teachers, the unfortunate adults, get sick, hospitalized and repeat. 

how many times we have to face this?

The origin of suffering is all due to craving, desire and wanting the things we dont have. The limits of our heart is boundless and doesnt have limits. People simply want more. People thought they are spiritual, but lo and behold they are tied to their ego, their worldly materials, love to see others compliment about them ( speaking and writing )  - 

just observe when we have people talking good about you and see how they react when they listen what we bitch about them.

moral of the story - people can say anything - but they dont want to take any responsibilities.  

We now live in the era of acceptance, demand people to look at us - thinking that we are entitled to it. We no longer listen but scream and scream for attention. Yes its nice to be acknowledged right? Yes its nice to be carried away by impermanent shallow praise ( not criticism ) eh.

we are in shitty situation now - dont worry, lets blame someone except our self. 

Truth to be told - Its nice to show off to people. Its nice to show off how intelligent and talented we are to others right? Its nice to preach to the masses right in the pretext that we are moralistic while others are not.  Its nice when people shower praise to you, but will it last?

the universe and the infinite time will show everything.

Everything will PASS eventually, nothing is fixed, permanent. Everything is temporal. So its better for us to be aware what we are thinking, saying and what we want to say. Its better for us to identify and limit what's inside our heart, putting a ceiling to our boundless desires. 

yes and eventually fade away, knowing that we stand on the ground, sooner or later we will be under the ground. The Buddha is the one who awakes, found out - alert of what is going on rather than continue in a comfortable sleep.


Then one whose eyes are open - as people who able to see cant see properly, the people who able to hear cant hear properly, cant taste properly and the list goes on.


Im ok if meditation in a forest or traveling to the other side of the world in order to find yourself sounds wild and ambitious, the answer is within our-self. Rather than wanting more, lets kneel and celebrate of what we had achieved, the things we had, have now rather than desire things we dont have. 

Lets be thankful, lets throw our ego away, smash it by ourselves rather than others do it, lets continue to be humble the moment we we open our eyes, knowing that we have a roof on top of our head, doesnt need to beg for food and protection, knowing and counting our blessings that we are still loved by others and most importantly being gentle to ourselves. 

Enough depending on others, enough asking from others when we know and identify whatever we want, we cant achieve it by ourselves. Its pretty cool you know, so lets not limit our intelligence, talents based on standards quantified by others. 

( i have alot of people telling me that they dont know what they want but they know what they dont want ) 

so why we spend so much time on knowing what we dont want. 

Its idiotic.

lets suffer before we find the path and answer of happiness? 

why suffer? 
Go buy an ice-cream, go get the things that will make you happy.

you want to be a millionaire? then start thinking some realistic plan to be one. enough of wishful thinking.

cmon, stop carrying all the unnecessary baggage and sufferings you have ok, put it aside, lets reflect what we had done and most importantly - enough blaming others or stop entertaining nonsense, come..... have a good year ahead.

p/s - im blessed when the universe showed me so many lessons this year, understanding the limits and ugliness of people's heart and desires, how they used others for their own benefit - such a beautiful lesson ( be it young or old - human beings are the same which is pathetic and predictable. I've seen people who simply talk but instruct others to walk. With this - i no longer have patience or even time to comprehend and to understand as its futile - i have only one word - FUCK YOU, please know that your previous actions will mirror an objective result, each to their own )

your sufferings is based on your actions, decisions, thoughts, choices and attitude. 

so enough of fucking sad stories, enough of excuses, enough of sorry, enough of reading justified moralistic shitpost or poetic lyrical nusantara shit.......whatever material wealth we have now will not fund our way when we kick the bucket.

for the old and young - respect is a hard earned task. Dont and never assume that the young will respect you just simply because you are old.
