To Gather Together (Laughter and Forgetting)
Memory has its own way of showing empathy. However, often this is met with a big wall called prestige (gengsi).
What you have to understand is that when some of us don't show direct concern, it doesn't mean that they don't have empathy. They just don't know how to articulate their care, their affection, their love. Such as, "is this method right or wrong for the person", "is this method appropriate and not offensive?", "Do I respond as if I'm patronizing?", etc.
It's funny how life can make us feel like fools. Excited at the simple things. Made to cry over useless things. Vain.
I began to reconstruct the specific definition of happiness, then what is happiness? are the simple things that make us feel full (penuh). Intact.
To imagine such a life; The life I'm currently living seems to be quite enjoyable. I don't know what else I'm looking for. We try hard to make up for the loss, try hard to fill the void in the chest, when life is what happens when you are busy worrying, busy looking for a way to deal with worry.
How do you want to be remembered? This question is like a bandit's point at a deserted alley. I want to be remembered as a human who learns. Realize the mistakes made throughout life. I want to be remembered as a sentimental human who fell in love with love itself. Although for me, falling in love is trained. No one suddenly can betray at will. Because love is continual interrogation. I don't know of a better definition of love.
We are well aware that out of a few or dozens of times... only two or three are truly important and unforgettable. The rest are just echoes, imitations, repetitions, or mementos.
The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting. We must never allow the future to collapse under the burden of memory.
The future is only an indifferent void no one cares about, but the past is filled with life, and its countenance is irritating, repellent, wounding, to the point that we want to destroy or repaint it.
We want to be masters of the future only for the power to change the past.
It was funny, but I can't remember why. I didn't laugh. And it was quickly forgotten.
You must always remember; I'm always with you.
