Perspective

During our daily lifes, we see, hear, smell, feel, and we taste almost everything. By current culture, what we mostly see are either our phone, laptop, tv, games, facebook, or other electronic devices and software. What we hear are basically what we wanted to hear, and we block out the rest. What we smell are only things that are acceptable by society, like flowers, perfumes, etc. and what we taste are things that we feel good about, for most it's meat, some it's vegetables, others just don't care about taste since they only want nutrition.



Of course, during the course of our lifes, those things aren't weird at all. Since it is, in a way, a part of our lifestyle and there is nothing wrong with that. But, let's stop and think about it, how could we possibly decide if meat taste good? if vegetables taste better? or we don't even care about taste? There are, currently, no books that are available, that could explain the feeling called 'delicious', 'tasty', 'good' etc.when we eat something, basically, there are no certain theories on this subject, yet, we know it taste good, it's tasty, it's delicious. This goes the same for our other senses, there are no certain theories on how it works. Some of you might think, "we got that in biology", but, even biology or any other subjects, have no factual proof that their theories are 100% correct.

Let's say you, the readers, are currently in a market, and you saw a certain orange colored, long shaped, vegetable, that looks like an orange pencil, what would you call it? Most of us would answer 'carrot', yes, that is correct, but it's called 'carrot' because people agreed on it. Think about it, you know the answer is 'carrot' because you were thaught for the very first time by your parents, or school, that society calls it 'carrot'. When we were a baby, humans doesn't have any knowledge about this world, we don't even know our parents name, until they've taught us their names, until they've taught us that pencil shaped, orange colored vegetable, is called 'carrot'. Imagine this, if your parents, or whoever taught you for the first time that a vegetable that looks like an orange pencil is called a 'carrot' were to somehow tell you it is called a 'tomato' what would you call a vegetable that looks like an orange pencil until this day?

The same goes for everything that we know about our lifes. Which absolutely nothing, that is why, we cannot say that 'i understand you', or 'i know how you feel', or 'i've been through the same'. We humans were designed to never know what other people see, feel, hear, smell, or taste, that is why we are so unique. Because each of us have different experience, different way of thinking, so you could never truly understand another person just by having a similar experience. You don't know how he/she see, feel, hear, smell, or taste, about that similar experience, do you? We were each given our own world to see, hear, feel, smell, and taste, by God Almighty. But, that doesn't mean we cannot show simpathy or empathy towards other people. Yes, you can't understand others 100%. Yes, you can't see his/her world. But that doesn't mean you can't help him/her. Do what you think, can solve his/her world. Us humans doesn't need people to tell us 'we need to be strong', 'have patience', 'you'll understand someday' etc. We already get that much, what we need is people who, in the best of way, help us to figure out the solutions of our problems. If we can manage that, this world, would  be a better place to live in.

Thank you for reading.

Original

What does it mean to be original? What makes one certified to be called "original"? Or for that matter why is something called original while another isn't? It's a word we often use to describe something that we've never seen, heard, tasted, or experienced before. Something " new". Sometimes it's used as an adjective to describe someone who goes against the "mainstream" or that did something out of the ordinary, something "amazing" that impresses us. But what is it really? What is original? What does it mean to be original? Is it to simply do something someone has never seen, heard, tasted, or experienced before? Is it a lifestyle of always trying to take risk and do something "unknown"? What about people in the circus then? They can do incredible things with their body that almost no one else can do, yet they're not treated as "original" so much as a "freak". Let's take look then, maybe you...

Personal Privacy

Us humans, have this need of having a private space just for ourselves. In it we feel safe, secure, like in a world of our own, because of that we shared our deeprest thoughts, emotions, opinions, etc. inside of that space. That personal space where we can share everything that personal world of ours that we don't want anyone to know, except if we allow them to, is commonly called 'Privacy'. Most of us uses diaries or private journals to reflect on things, such as our daily lifes, or our actions, regrets, opinions, emotions, etc. and we wrote it down on that diary so that we can look back and take a liitle piece of lesson from it. But, what happens when that privacy is exposed? Well, let's think about it together, imagine your own world, you private thoughts, your deepest secret, your fears, and everything that you want to keep to yourselves is suddenly a reading material for public to read. Many of us would feel embarassed, sad, angry, and most of all, inva...

Running again?

In this world, we humans were only given one life to live. Once chance to do it all, one shot to make the best decision, or at least that's what most people say. Others beleive we will be reincarnated one day, through many means, others simply say we dissappear into nothingness, others say we just simply become one with the world. But when do we, as humans, really die? When we're shot through the heart? When our heads got sliced? When other people broke our hearts, our hope, our spirit? The answer is simple, when we are forgotten. When our existence in this world, ceased to be. When what we've done, what we've been through, what we had, ceased to be acknowledged by others. If so, then comes the question, "What have I been doing all this time?" for a lot of people, that question remains unanswered, even until the time of their death. Some of you might say, the answer is a chronological one, since birth i was like this and that, then i grew up, and bla b...
