Passion of Happiness

I care about people happiness.

I believe in being happy.

I want people to be happy with their life, their job, their condition, their family, their environment, their identity, themselves. I want people to be happy about how they look. I want people to be happy about how they think and how they see the world. I want people to be happy to learn.

I want people and me, to share our ideas, but not forcing it. We don’t have to agree with each other, but don’t push people too far, not to the point that we’d kill each other for the sake of ideas.

Like it or not, we will always grow, one way or another. We will always chase something in our life. It can be knowledge, it can be money, it can be love, it can be heaven, it can be justice, it can be world peace…, it can be anything. You can’t force people to look for love if it’s not what they care.

Someone told me that each people have their own portion in life. We are different, but are one. When we do whatever we do, or don’t do whatever we don’t, we move other people to do whatever they do, or don’t do whatever they don’t, and it starts the chain of movements, and it moves the whole world.

Even if we do the same thing over and over again, and make no improvement in any aspect of our life, we’ll grow a record, we’ll grow an identity. Like that man who makes Soto in my high school cafeteria. He’s been making Soto since… forever. People change, but not him. He doesn’t change, but people around him know him as the Soto maker. People do things while witness his career as Soto maker. Not just people around him, but people around people around him, and those people around people around people around him. 

Every Pembangunan Jaya High School students and alumni knows him, and some will tell about him to some groups of friends. Just like me now, telling about him on my blog. :p

So what do I do in my life? I’m learning about things I care about. I share ideas. I share what I believe. Then maybe some people don’t agree with me. And let’s welcome their disagreement. It’s just beautiful.

I do my best, God helps me with the rest, and I’ll just enjoy the progress.

So people, thank you for fighting for your idealism. But don’t be too upset about the results. Everything happened happens for a reason anyway.

Don’t be upset about others’ ignorance. And remember, it’s not ignorance. They just have something else to care about. And there’s nothing wrong with it. There are too many things to be care about. While you force people to care about what you care, it’s impossible that you care about what they do care.

And I’m gonna have to say this quote from Mary Engelbreit*: “If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.”

Happy life people! Cheers! :D
