“Equanimity” is what a person needs, good for oneself and for others… that is how the holy puts it.
Self-Mastery, is the key word…”Campaign against the temptations of the senses; Conquer inner foes; Triumph over your ego”. Oh… how we wish it would be as simple as how they put it into words.
… and the holy continues… “The easiest way to control sensuous desires is to practice altruistic love… the ability to give and to love with no expectation in return”…
Temptations of the senses, sensuous desires, and passion….
What’s the crime in having it? feeling it? Wanting it? Isn’t that one of the things that makes you feel… alive?
The desire to free this soul… from all burdens, … to free this mind… from all purposes… free from all the fights and foes between logic and heart…
And the holy continues …"If one Ponders on objects of the sense, there springs Attraction: from attraction grows desire, Desire flames to fierce passion, passion breeds, Recklessness; then the memory--all betrayed-- Lets noble purpose go, and saps the mind, Till purpose, mind, and man are all undone."
…but… Passion is what keeps one walking… breathing… it breeds and grew within one… since the first time it step its foot on this earth!
Passion brings me alive… and it took me up to the level where I have broken all the obstacles in this world
I always feel when I fall deep down, passion has given me the strength to stay alive.
And what about the princess? to practice the altruistic love, she should have not dreamt of love … she should just be happy with what she got… loneliness… and a selfish dragon as a partner, who doesn’t even bother to ask what is it that she wants… or needs…
It has been said that one need to create its own happiness, because others won’t…
There’s a fine line between dream and reality and it’s up to the princess how to draw it…
When you love someone but it goes to waste, when the tears streaming down your face unexpectedly, and you feel tired but you can’t sleep. This brain of human kind taught the lesson of human sanity. The sun refuse to shine… and those dark clouds fill the sky…
When you’ve tried your best and you don’t succeed… that’s the beginning of another chapter…
the chapter of a secret marriage… a chapter of love and passion… where the pages are numbered and the ink's never dry …
A marriage with no alters …no flowers …an unspoken vow …and unbroken oath.
When the two, who wanted each other for centuries… have this wildest dream to see each other every morning, everyday, all their life time…

Black Box. transcript 1- the world upside down
When Einstein said only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile, he must be joking.
Once, I took it personally and it was a tough task to please everyone… let alone make your lives worthwhile for others… or… try to.
One said to me… you please no one, just do whatever makes you happy. …It reminds me of a very basic simple philosophy in life; do what you love and love what you do. Is it really that simple?
He then continues, …at least try to please those who love you and who you love. If love is about understanding at all, what’s there to be pleased?
…”ego” pops up in my mind. A very short simple but thoughtful word, soo powerful that I even felt my body shivers when I say it. It’s in you, it’s in me, and it’s in all of us… it flows in the blood of every human kind.
It is there in every book of one’s life, chapter to chapter..
Imagine what the world would be without it? Would it be heaven on universe?
Might… or might not be…
One said there is positive and negative egos in this world, and positive makes you do well for others and you. But how to define?... Where to draw the line?...
Who would use the word “Universe” for a world’s beauty pageant? is it creativity? Is it advertising or marketing bluff?… or perhaps simply ego?
How about the Trump’s way? built his empire and have everything named Trump this and Trump that.
I chatted with a very close friend of mine a while ago. He was working on his BMW when I visited him. He changed some BMW logo on the velgs, the steering wheel, carpet, etc with racing dynamic logo. I myself hardly know about cars, so I wonder why he chose Racing Dynamic instead of others such as Brabus, AMG, etc.
“Racing Dynamic is one of the oldest car tuner”, he said … “it is very rare and difficult to find, hardly anyone in town has it.” And when asked about quality, he said... it’s ok, not the best.
Ok, let’s make it clear once more… it is rare a.k.a difficult to find at the shops, it is therefore expensive, and not necessarily the best. Huh?! Why the hell he spent his money on it then?? … the answer is as simple as this… “I don’t wanna use what others use, those cheap ones. I wanna be different!” (ppffftttttt....)
Here’s a funny one…, back in Holland, Sunday morning it was… at the park where I used to jog, there’s a boy walking his old Labradorean dog while rumbling…, “bad… bad dog, I don’t understand why mom keepin’ you… you stupid old dog…”.
The dog just walking quietly... next to his master who’s half kickin’ him.
A pretty girl, who happened to jogged and passed them, all of a sudden was dragged by the cuteness of the dog’s eyes.…. she approached instantly and padded him, “arrghh, what a sweet thing you are…”. And the boy said “yeah… he is sweet, I’m soo grateful I have him”. And a chat continues further…
It’s funny… isn’t it? What ego would do to you… turns your world upside down…
And here’s a sad one…
…Once upon a time, there’s a dragon and a princess... who live in a castle far far away from home. The castle was beautifully built, decorated with the angels and the goddess sculpture.
…A gorgeous princess lived on the highest tower of the castle, where the guardian dragon could oversee her… days and nights.
Laughter and giggles softly heard whenever the sunlight touches her skin warmly. Whilst dances under the moonlight throughout the night… …the sweetest wine she tastes, the sweetest perfume she wears,… yet those emptiness reveals within her. Day by day, she’s wishing on the rainbows, wishing on a star, wishing on a dream…
Whenever she’s down to pray near the window and far see the stars … wonders how a life should be. She’s waited for a thousand years… a thousand times… another million tears… another million breaths… till the mysteries unfold themselves…
She dream of love …of fire …a man’s desire…
the dragon was the most powerful beast alive, who owned the princess. Guard the castle without asleep, he throws no word, he pours no seed, and he gives mysterious sights once a while.
He loves her, he doesn’t… nobody knows. Only when the knights try to steal her heart, he protected her with his all, …and she become his precious thing then.

AkU
Aku manusia dengan sejuta cita-cita,
Apa daya aku bukanlah sang pencipta,
Tawa canda yang terlihat oleh mata,
Mata sibutalah yang bisa merasa.
Apa daya aku bukanlah sang pencipta,
Tawa canda yang terlihat oleh mata,
Mata sibutalah yang bisa merasa.
temptations of the senses
"If one Ponders on objects of the sense, there springs Attraction: from attraction grows desire, Desire flames to fierce passion, passion breeds Recklessness; then the memory--all betrayed--Lets noble purpose go, and saps the mind,Till purpose, mind, and man are all undone." -Gandhi-
