God Explained In a Taxi Ride by Paul Arden

I’ve just read Paul Arden’s 3rd book titled “God Explain in a Taxi Ride”. And I think this book is just like his first and second book, it’s so inspirational for me personally. In this book he explain about GOD, religion and many thing about GOD that makes me feel strong.. U know that I am an agnostic, I believe in GOD but I’m not involve in any religion.. So he said to believe in GOD won’t make me a religious person, but it’ll make me a spiritual person (see the different)..
“A young child asked his father if he could prove there is a God.
‘I can’t prove it,’ he said.
‘It’s like the wind. You can feel it, but you can’t see it.’”

It is very stupid I think to think that we’re all used to be monkey, or those beautiful scenery was happened because of an accidents.. it’s so stupid (no judgment)..
Not just that, he also wrote something that all of my religious friends keep bugging me about... it’s the after life.. :
“People scare of the dark because they don’t know what’s there.
As soon as they put the light on, they can see and feel safe.
We are all scared of dying, because we are afraid of the unknown.
To ease our fear of the dark, we invent explanations for the afterlife such as heaven and hell and reincarnation.
Like the light we switch on to feel safe.”

Then in the next page he wrote:
“The sun was made by God.
Religion is a light bulb, created by man to help him to see in the dark.”

There’re still many interesting things he wrote such as this one..
“Wars are started by ambitious men and women whose sense of humor plays no part in the serious business of running a country.
What if, instead of sending professional statesmen, with their self-importance and deadly seriousness, to an international war summit, we were to send some of our top humorists? Sacha Baron Cohen and Larry David, for instance.
Can you imagine this gathering of diplomats contriving to start a war?
They wouldn’t be able to, no matter how hard they tried. Their sense of humor forbids it.
When people declare war on others, they believe themselves to be just.
They believe that God is on their side.
God knows, they are insane.”

Hahah.. Interesting rite?! I used to be a huge fan of Paul Arden but now I love him even more..

The Power of Love

I’ve got inspired by a Korean series titled “Someday”.. it is a very inspiring series. The story, the filming technique is definitely different than other Korean series.. when I show it to my friends who’s majoring in Visual Communication Design, she said this series is really good.. The color and the filming technique is like a Japanese series.. it have the thing called “Quality”.. The story itself is really different.. it’s about a girl name Hana, an artist, that’s been hurt in the past, so she can’t show her emotion, and she only think of love as a human hormone, a very very cold blooded girl.. then there’s Lee Soek Man, a boy that lost his family at an accident, then he work really hard to pay the medicine for a young boy that stay in coma because of that accident too, he’s a very warm and cheerful person, a super nice guy that love to help others..
It’s about how Hana change, from a cold person into someone that believe in love, an willing to sacrifice for love, waiting for love.. And there’s struggling in Soek Man’s life too, where he felt guilty for the accident that cost his family lives and only focus on money became LIFE again because of Love.. is love has that much of strength??
I don’t really understand what love is, I don’t I’ll sacrifice as much as Hana did in real life, I won’t be able if I have to wait.. if someone left me, I’ll definitely gonna move on as fast as I could!!
For me loving someone is hurt.. I don’t know why.. I just think that we must not giving our 100% for love.. What if we got cheated on?!
The thing is I’ve seen so much broken hearts.. but I’ve also seen a true happy ending..
Is happy ending only existing in movies?! Is it fake?!
Then what is love?! How can someone become so crazy about love?! Aren’t they even thinking before they do all the crazy things?!

Maybe I’m scared of love?! Am I??!
Maybe I’m just thinking too much of love on their negative sides..
Maybe I need to start believing in love
Maybe I need to be more faithful
Maybe I’m still naïve about love..

Maybe I need to surprise by love when the time come..
I believe there'll be tears of joy and tears of anger or tears of fun..
who knows?!

It's not a Dead End , just a Little Rocky RoaD

I haven't write anything since a pretty long time.. I've got some bad news for me.. I failed my kolokiums... it's been such a big disappointment for me.. but I'm alright now.. maybe I just need to work harder than i tough, u know life is not that easy..
Just like a school without exams that'll be really boring.. so I think this is my "exam".. that i need to be more focus on what I'll do..
people said there's alot of roads to Rome.. so I guess my path to my "Rome" just a little rocky, maybe I'll run out a gasoline in the middle, but I'm sure I'll find a great gas station nearby.. just be patient and not stop trying..
So I write this to anybody who thinks that it was the end of everything.. hey.. it's not.. it's just a rocky road..
Good Luck then..^^
