the diaem of human sanity

For some people, social communication is a critical thing to secure our sanity in measurable way and scale. As for me, it was defined as an essential element to trigger a person upon their responsibility towards other: spreading the utmost benefit to society widely. To resonate this idea, I am taking a side as the one whose highly depend on the aspect of interaction to maintain the sensibility as a human being.

Human has been unconsciously develop certain pattern in their life, from the day they wake until they close the day to start over and over again. The repetition might not be similar everyday, and ain't solely depend on how flat the path they’ve chosen. But for most of the people (e.g. employee) in the big city, this is something matter.

The worker in metropolitan area tend on having ritual from early morning to the midnight. Their rationality was literally influenced by the atmosphere of the office and the place they live. Sometimes we could include complementary activities by going around the big city’s mall, taking a shot at the delightful dinner table, and capture the togetherness moment with colleague or old friend. The work demands have surpassed beyond human sensibility. You might achieve your visible goal but still seek to find the utmost personal satisfaction.

Their connection limited to the social interaction with colleagues, old friends, and family. Sometimes it hardly recognize the neighborhood around or rarely greet to your room mate. Having social interaction beyond these circles can be a little bit tricky since these could form a new character in a way that changing your mind and the preference of your lifestyle. If you’re coming from a big company, spending huge amount of money can be a monthly rational budget as it demands you to pay for house and car’s installments. You also need to spend special budget for coffee shop. It is noteworthy to familiar with plenty of coffee shop in every mall. Each of them possessing a specific fragrance you might be able to taste with. The higher income you have, you must notice that you’re climbing into higher social status along with the network to escalate your existence. Turns out, it changes you in an irrational way. Some people thing that this kind of lifestyle sometimes exhausting.

After all of these glamorous challenging life in the heart of big city, still, you could hardly seek to find things to fill the inner void of yours. You seek in the depth of the ocean not realizing that the answer lies within ourselves. You don't provide a moment to securing the inner mind and contemplating the matter was about. You are often seeking to some intangible thing while coming back with an empty handed full of disappointment and self-despair. Ultimately, you are the one who are impacting the worst effect because of the temporary attachments with achievement and human praise.

For these last three days, I made a short trip to take a break (although partially allocating the time for work). Meeting old friends, visiting thesis supervisor and honorable teacher, and playing (literally playing). The sense of happiness cant be measured specifically, but distortion from all the daily hustle bustle can be achieved. And as the time goes by, there was a time when you realize everyone is moving and changing. Realizing that building the connection can be an initial leap to aware that confronting life and passing obstacles are little step for giant leap that you will face ahead. People's story can be a motivation to see something beyond your pragmatic framework. Sometimes people need to see the hidden story to observe the next challenging pathways and thinking creatively what's the next options they had. Or else, to scale up your enthusiasm to start over the new day.

Throughout receiving stories, interestingly this sense of atmosphere made me realize upon irreplaceable pace of the previous life which was the attachment of soul I am no longer see. To suppose to clinging to the Most Glorious and the Most Merciful is highly important. This was a beauty which was pathologically ignored by most of my current circle. Luckily I have friends and family to remind me these things.

These people are living in a modest way. They prefer to locally rooted and disseminate the brightful mind in a timely manner. I love how they act, so down-to-earth and realize that learning process could be gained from many people indeed. I was so admire on the way they did not count the standard of success, but much more wondering how much work had been made to provide the uppermost contribution to many people?


So we do all have a circle. A circle for us to discuss the dream. A group of people to express our feeling. A number of acquaintances to study in a group. Friends to build the narrative story of our childhood. Bridging the overall loop within our mind is critically substantial to keep sane. Balancing the need to fully provide ammunition for both your soul and passion. Maintaining the strong connection with other people as a trigger enhance our inner motivation into the right direction for the future.
