Living a lovely life

Life is never easy
Life is fun

Considering both of them, it seems that living a life would be a full package of journey. It seems so pleasant to view numerous of beautiful scenery that any synthetic beauty would fall down in comparative analysis. Rising sun at the summit of Bromo Mountain, setting sun on the verge of Kuta Beach, flying squirrel in Papuan mainland, and many others. From aesthetic and exotic creatures, to seemingly ordinary one, we could not comprehend both God's love and His awesomeness. I mean, see jaguar in his prime condition. The moment he tenders for his cubs is a representation of harmony inside family that humans need to mimic. The moment he is lurking around, you need to realize how beautiful the view would be. Every aero-engineer experts would praise the design, every mechanics would wonder his movement, and every commoners would be terrified. Such a rare-mostly impossible to be witnessed directly- view is only a glimpse of how amazing our Almighty One. Dolphins with their cleverness, Beluga Whale with great feature and superb swimming speed, ocean bed full of dark and mysterious squid, and even 1 m wide of splashing wing of Eagle iterate hundreds of thousands of millions wonders science would give up to understand. It is even not including such coherent work of bees, such tender mosquito, or even just current of freezing river. 

For every pleasing moment, there will always be sad side behind. We could not achieve such joyful and glorious feeling, with highest appreciation towards the concern, if we never understand the sorrow of sadness, the rage inside mad that contribute to flowing tears. Recently, one of my best friend just lost her father. For some people, they think it is normal, "we will die anyway". Some others put a sorry on her. What makes me sadder is the fact that the time seems so imperfect. Eight months before, she just lost her mother due to grave illness, while not longer than two years before, she lost her dear grandfather. Leaving a big shock for her, right before she graduates, she realizes that no one would witness the peak of her struggle. She has no longer supporting figures that will smile for what they had done so much. It is not only heart-touching, but I would always recall the memory for the rest of my life, because it is the time that reminds me, that every creatures are God's, and we will one day come back to Him, to the Creator of All. Then, what story will I have to tell him? It is a mystery to me. Yet one thing I sure of. She lost her lively sight for brief moment, but manages to grab her feet. May she be overwhelmed with sadness, it is proving that we could live on. From her, I learn how to be stern and strong. For every mourning, there will be a silver line. That what I hope she has, that what I learn at best.

Life then would be a matter of journey. Sometimes, it is sweet as honey, or Florida orange. Having promotion, being accepted in a dream job, getting married, having a nice mate, playing around, laughing with friends, or simply feeling the breeze of winds will decorate our life. It puts us to be able to say Merry Life Goes Round, that's why we expect to have "Happy Birthday", "Merry Christmas", and "Happy New Year". Nevertheless, since we are so excited to have pleasure in our roller coaster, than we have to accept the fear of getting up and down. It is unlawful then, to only accept good and not bad thing. From dark side we learn how to recognize our self. In our downfall we would be able to understand the true meaning of life, that it should not be wasted for vanity. Losing our dearest parent, being treated unfairly, and even being betrayed could never be a proud memory, yet they are teaching us to be stronger, gentle, and caring.

In happy moment we get smile
In sad moment we preserve smile
In the end moment, we would share the smile
And tell the stories when we are above
