Learn To Be Upset

We’re feeling happy when we have what we want and it can be anything, Like when we graduate from school or when we get a job or when we can win a race or when we become a champion or when we beat our competitor, or when we destroy our enemy. But maybe sometimes to be happy doesn’t need to make other people sad or upset, it can be when we can eat everyday or when we can see person that we love or when we can doing our hobby or when we can rest or when met old friend. To be happy is easy thing to do because to be happy just need to fulfill our need. So we don’t need to learn to be happy.

We’re feeling upset when we don’t get what we want, other people mess with us, the climate is not right, and many thing that can cause it. And when upset usually we doing something that we will regret later or something that destructible, or something that unreasonable or even something that against the law. But sometimes the effect is hidden in our feeling like we feel depressed, easy to angry or feel very energized and many other effect.

Actually there are 3 main reason why we become upset, there are :
a. everything is not everlasting (sabbe sankhârâ aniccâ)
This reason is actually simple and happened because we want to keep our stuff always good or keep good friend is around us, or in more specific is we want to keep our condition is still the same. But when it’s changed or broken then it will make us upset.

b. everything is grasp by sadness (sabbe sankhârâ dukkhâ)
This reason is actually simple and happened when we born then sadness will haunted us because there are no everlasting happiness or in bright side there are no everlasting sadness. And Happy and Sad is change every time, but if we don’t aware it then we will become upset.

c. everything is without self (sabbe dhammâ anattâ)
This reason is actually simple and happened when we want to claim something or even someone as ours, it like when we see good stuff and want that stuff become ours. But we didn’t get it then we will become upset.

Now we known what make us upset, and then we need to know way to remove or lessened upset. The way is actually simple, just be patient and acceptance. Patient it mean when we don’t get what we want then just wait someday we will get it, or when we had sadness then just wait because it will change. And acceptance is mean when we don’t get it until our tolerance time then accept it that thing or people is not for us, and let it go.

Be Happy.

Mirror Manner

There are times when we aware that everyone hates us, everyone keep distance from us, everyone pretend to be our friend, everyone talk behind us, everyone keep grudge of us, everyone not values our work, everyone think we have motive behind our act, everyone isolate us, everyone avoid to meet us and many other act. They think they can cover their act and we will not aware, but they wrong.

Usually we pretend it is okay but actually it’s not and our subconscious keep it. Next time when we see them we will react same act without our awareness and they will do the same to us. This is calling mirror act and gradually affect our relationship with them will becoming more worse every times we make contact with them. So, we know this relationship is bad but we will pretend everything still fine until some time when we thinks it’s enough. Then we will keep them away from us or we will keep ourselves away from them or we will make fake relationship.

What solution to this problem? of course it’s simple we just tell what is our feeling. But it’s not that easy because it will not resulting a good reaction. And i just proved it with one of my post and now I’ll careful when posting. Why? because people doesn’t want to hear their weakness even they know. They want their friend pretend to accept it and they will pretend to accept their friends weakness too. We learn about it when child and when we grow up we will keep our true feeling away from the other with wall, wall, and wall until someday we will know that our friends is not understand us at all. Because they just now what mask we show to them.

So, it not weird then just when we in trouble then we will know who our friend? Why? it’s simple because our friend not pretend and they know ourselves through our wall. Afraid our true feeling to be exposed that make us keep people away from our life, because it will cause more hurt when they don’t react like we hope. So, this thing make we value child, because they always show their true feeling and friendship between them easy to be bond.

To always show our true feeling is hard because it will cause problem like when we mad with our boss and we show it then it will make us fired. To surpass this problem then first we must aware it’s not okay and try to fix it. We fix it with good reaction, like when somebody avoid us then we will looking for them, or when somebody give fake smile then will give them smile from the heart. It’s will be weird for them and us then it will make them afraid but still do it because it’s gradually fix the problem. It’s easy to say but hard to implement but you must do it if you want to fix your problem.

End of the word, actually when someone avoid us, maybe we are the problem. Let’s try to fix the problem inside ourselves first. Why not just avoiding them? It’s because the problem will still occurs with the other until we fix it. So, why keep running? And even when the relationship is still broken we are not loss, and then we will find good relationship with other, because they just not know value of us.

American President Election

Tomorrow is American president election. This election is chosen from very careful decision. It’s chosen to be Tuesday after first Monday in November and now conducted in 4 November 2008. It’s chosen Tuesday because in the past it’s far distance to election place and it’s avoid people to go in Sunday. It’s chosen November because every farmer is not working because they had harvest before. And It’s Chosen Tuesday after first Monday because to avoid the election in 1 November. Why? it’s because 1 November is All Saint Day and to avoid Success or Failure business from previous month affected the choice. And if the Tuesday is 1 November then election is in next week because it’s chosen to be Tuesday after first Monday.

We may learn from America because they prepare the election is not like us which decide date of the election without good reason and just make the election day is holiday. Candidate for tomorrow election is Barrack Obama (Democrat) and John McCain (Republic). Barrack Obama is promising candidate to become president because he is smart, charming and have large money support. John McCain is underdog because Republic is hate by American People.

Before you choose, let’s me give you quick sight. More money taken then must give more reward to the people that given. They look smart because their counselor. They particularly have same purpose in rule the country. Then if you sure with your choice then happy choosing.

Extraordinary People Wisdom

Heroes one of film about extraordinary people. In this film there are many extraordinary people with one specific ability and some with many abilities. There are people that can fly, people can travel time, people can run fast, people can telekinetic, people can read mind, people with great athletic skill, people can look future, people with regeneration ability, people can vanish, people can erase mind. And even with people can mimic skill from media, people can absorb ability, people with great analytic skill, and people can heal people.

All of this is skill is the skill that people wish they had in reality in their dream. Imagine when we can fly then we can travel around world without worry. Then if we imagine that we can travel time then we can be rich if we put our money in good place. Next imagine if we can telekinetic then we can move thing free. Or imagine if we can vanish then we can go around forbidden place without seen. There are so many dream that to be good to be true and if it goes to wrong people than it will become disaster to world.

But actually in reality there are people that can heal people. If you think it’s doctor you wrong because that not people that i talk about even doctor can heal people sick. What i mean is people with extraordinary skill that can heal people like blind, deaf, and etc. I had seen this people do this miracle in GOR Ngurah Rai, even i myself still have doubt to this miracle but this skill is actually can be learned by meditated. So, i think it’s real, but what i don’t like with these people is they always bearing their religion. So they just want cure people with same religion and it’s not right i think.

So, like Uncle Ben in Spiderman says “with great power there must also come great responsibility” if you have been gifted with great ability and become Extraordinary People than you must remembered that gift for help all people not just some of them. Even not everyone is Extraordinary People but we can be Extraordinary People by doing good thing and help people around us every day. Or you can be Extraordinary People by become people in high authority like President, Governor, Etc. But you must remember what Uncle Ben says “with great power there must also come great responsibility“.

Glow In The Dark Wisdom

When I’m in high school there are new trend, this trend is about everything that can glow in the dark like T-Shirt, Watch, Sticker, accessories and many other. And then time goes on and i forgot about thing that can glow in the dark. But 2 days ago i found my Glow in the dark T-Shirt and then i wore it to sleep. When i woke up early in the morning and i saw my T-Shirt is glowing then the wisdom is come to my mind.

The Wisdom is we don’t know how precious ourselves if we always compare ourselves with the other. It is like Glow in the dark thing when in the bright light then it will not show any light because it’s too busy to compare it’s own light with the other. And when there are no light then it will illuminate it’s own light because nobody to be compare and naturally it’s have potency to illuminate light. So, don’t compare yourself with the other because everyone is unique and have it’s own abilities and life.

Dress Manner

People usually wearing suit to the situation or the latest outfit model. There are many reason to do that, but i will count some of the reason like to attract the opposite gender, to make them confident, to make them comfortable, to make them look good, to show off, or just to wearing the outfit. But sometimes people can make wrong choice to be wear, and they will had wrong dress code. And because I’m not a outfit designer or outfit stylish so i will not discuss about it or telling you about good outfit? or even not telling the outfit is suit for you?

When we wearing outfit sometimes we not act properly like when we use dress but not sit properly, or sometimes we not wearing outfit tidy or even sometimes we forget to buttoned our outfit. Then we will show our private garment or even our private body without knowing that like Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, or Paris Hilton. And if one of our friend tell us then we will feel embarrassment, angry, or even hate them. But actually we must feel happy because if not being told then we will show it until we aware and it’s too late.

It’s more easy if the event is happen to ourselves, but if our friend or even stranger has the outfit accident then it is become more complicated. Why? of course it is because we don’t know how they will react to our warning. And if it is happen to our friend it lot’s more easier than happen to stranger or even it’s more harder when they have opposite gender. And the problem is we must tell them or just wait they aware it themselves. There no easy answer to this problem but i think it’s better to tell them before they know because it’s will be too late when they know. But for caution then before we tell them directly maybe we can give them a signal and avoid them to become embarrass. And if they not catch our signal then we must tell them directly.

It’s a ideal act but sometimes it’s hard to do that because we don’t know people mind. And maybe it will make them think us as take a chance, or even a pervert. So, if we don’t tell them then we can enjoy the view without worry to face their reaction or if we tell them then we will face their reaction and it can be good or bad reaction. Now you know the benefit and the loss then the decision is up to you. But sometimes it’s better to go out of the scene because we afraid to make the decision. Of course, the best act is to tell them directly when it happens then face their reaction without worrying the reaction.

Desire Wisdom

With Desire emerge Sad, with Desire emerge Fear, Person without Desire than will not feel Fear and Sad” It’s one of Buddhist enlightenment and hard to implement in real life.

But there are an easy way to control our desire. First we must know what desire is happen when we want something, it is like when we want to eat more than we can take that it’s a greed desire. Or when we want to punch people that it’s a hate desire. After we know what desire happen then next step is think benefit of our act. If it is give you a benefit like when we buy food for extend our life or when we buy dress for cover us from heat, then just do it but not overdo it. But if it is not give you any benefit than leave it in your mind like when we buy dress for style, or even for a show then don’t do it.

Last step is knowing our ego because we tend to think our act is right or in this case give benefit if we want it. So, after you think it’s give you benefit than you must filter it with your ego. Do the act really give benefit or your ego tell that the act is give a benefit? how can we seperate it, of course no easy way to know it but deep in your feeling you know it. It is like when we want to eat in expensive place and we think it is for extend our life, but deep in your heart you know that is your ego talking then you must don’t do the act.

But what will life become if we follow it? of course it will be sad for us because nobody is perfect. This is just for your information and you can try to doing that sometimes and control your desire but if you want to follow your desire at least you aware what desire is come and give a peace in your heart.
