Understanding People
Sometimes it's very hard to understand people, especially the one that close to me. The hardest part is to understand why they can't understand me.
I am a very simple person. As long as it is logical, I will understand it easily. Well, maybe my heart will not say so but heart can be very deceiving.
I live my life for almost 25 years as a logical person. Even to appreciate such thing as arts and music I used logic because even though they are created by heart, they are still the productions of brain.
That's why I choose architecture and that's why I am now doing design. To some degree architecture and design are subjective matters but still there are many logical explanation about your design.
For the last 3 years, I've been learning again to use my heart. That was not an easy task but I am doing quite well, in my humble opinion. But some people are not too easy to understand that. They demand instant changes. I understand that they're meant well but I also want they to understand that this is not a magical task that could be done over night.
Sometimes I wish that they leaved me alone. But without them who will give me support to do this task? It's a very damn hard dilemma.
Now I hope I can understand them why they can't understand me. I just hope it isn't too late already.
I'm Still Here (John Rzeznik)
I am a question to the world, Not an answer to be heard. All a moment that's held in your arms. And what do you think you'd ever say? I don't listen anyway… You ignore me, And I’ll never be what you want me to be.
And what do you think you'd understand? I'm a boy, not a man. You can take me and throw me away. And how can you learn what's never shown? Yeah, you stand here all alone. They don't know me 'cause I'm not here.
And I want a moment to be real, Wanna touch things I don't feel, Wanna hold on and feel I belong. And how can the world want me to change, They’re the ones that stay the same. The don’t know me, 'Cause I’m not here.
And you see the things they never see All you wanted, I could be Now you know me, and I'm not afraid And I wanna tell you who I am Can you help me be a man? They can't break me As long as I know who I am.
And I want a moment to be real, Wanna touch things I don't feel, Wanna hold on and feel I belong. And how can the world want me to change, They’re the ones that stay the same. They can’t see me, But I’m still here.
They can’t tell me who to be, ‘Cause I’m not what they see. And the world is still sleepin’, While I keep on dreamin’ for me. And they’ll want to just whispers, And lies that I’ll never believe.
And I want a moment to be real, Wanna touch things I don't feel, Wanna hold on and feel I belong. And how can they say I never change, They’re the ones that stay the same. I’m the one now, ‘Cause I’m still here.
I’m the one, ‘Cause I’m still here. I’m still here. I’m still here. I’m still here.

yupp…lagunya keren tuh mannn…i’m still here
sometimes thinking logically to solve a problem is not always the right answer…:)
why do you want to be understood? is it true that heart can be very deceiving? or is it your thought that deceived?
You’re dead, man.

Being in other’s shoes is the toughest thing to do. Sometime fight the egoism is like killing my self. (Ada hubungan gak sama tulisan ini?)
