Paradox


Wants warmth in winter.
Wants chill in summer.

Human is often very confusing. Wants something that does not exist. Once that something exists, he/she, again, will ask for other something that does not exist.
Then another something.
Then again.
And again.

Is it greedy?
Maybe. But I would say it's a paradox.

Why paradox? Because it's contradiction!

It maybe depends on how we perceive things,
how we see the beauty of ugliness or the ugliness of beauty.

There is paradox in me.

I want to go to school when I work.
I want to get away from this all stressful assignments once I am in university.

I miss Jakarta while I'm in Melbourne.
My mind flies to Jogja as I struggle in hustle bustle of Jakarta.

Is it because we don't know what we want?
Or we just want to enjoy the ride in a journey to get what we want?
The enjoyment is not on the things we want, but on things we got during the ride?
Maybe.

I woke up this morning and I did really enjoy my walk to uni.
This is what I want.

Walked along Swanston street, passed through university square in a walkpath surrounded with big old tree lines.
This is what I really want.

I got in this building,
Baillieu Library,
chose my cozy corner right beside the big window on the ground floor.
This is still what I do want.

I open my reading pack.
This is.. what I want.. not!
(I start to open my blog and write this crappy stuff, instead).

Paradox is not that bad actually.
It is something we naturally have as dynamic creature.

I say it is still normal to

" want warmth in winter,
and w
ant chill in summer".

But it's a bit crazy if u..

"want summer in winter,
want winter in summer".

Greedy confusing stupid people!

Terkadang, ketika seseorang sedang berada jauh dari keluarga, ada saat dia menjadi lebih melankolis.
