Humans and Cables are similar



Humans' relationships are viewed very complicated to understand. For example, there is a doctor is falling in love with his nurse, while one of his colleagues, a female doctor, has a crush on him. On the other hand the female doctor is still having a problem with her ex-husband who is actually the brother of the nurse. They are still arguing about who is responsible to pay the debt for the house after divorcing because they don't love each other anymore. The ex-couple bought the house some months ago (of course before they committed divorce) and have not completely paid. In order to cover the loss, the owner of the house is advertising the house to someone else, while keep asking the couple to pay the price plus the damage cost of the furniture that the couple broke during their fighting. And so on... the story is still continuing until all the problems are solved.


So the complexity of human's relationships are, so are those cables on my desk. I just moved my laptop from my little table to my desk. For having everything done, first thing that I should do is taking off all cables and adaptor from my laptop. Some information, my laptop is connected with a pair of speaker, a wireless mouse, an external drive, and some USBs such as my digital camera and the card reader. It did take time to take off those cables from the main devices and then I should carefully loose the knots one by one since they bound each other and create some complex knots. I did not create them in that way when the first time I attached those USB devices to my laptop. All I did is just connecting them one by one to my laptop and leaving them there until I want to move them to another place. Now everything is settled at their new places, I tried to arrange the cables won't make the same difficult knots again but it seems impossible I guess.

What I can see from these two phenomenon is that The Almighty Creator did not create us to have problems with each other as I hope my cables will not bind each other again after some times. His plan may force us to go through some difficulties but the goal is not for harming us.

All God has done was placing us in certain places and blessing us with free will. Then, we start knowing someone and that's how a relationship begins, then the someone knows someone else who is close related to us and so on until problems may come up coloring our relationship. That's how our life is. Then it is our own will to face or to run from the problem.

What important here is how to get the problem solved before we move to somewhere else or with other hand I can say "run away from the problem."

Perhaps some problems will be disappeared soon and swapped away as the time goes by as we have moved to a new place. Unfortunately most of them will not disappeared just like that. As long as the cable's knots have not been untied, it is impossible to place the devices properly in the new place. For sure, it is heavy and troublesome to carry my laptop at once together with all USB devices without taking them off from my laptop. Therefore, I think no one can go peacefully while carrying so many problems.
"Life is for fighting and overcoming the problems not for running from them."

The Realist Terrorist--PR nya Lea

This terrorist stuff suddenly reminds me of my assignment from my political economy class when I was in Sweden. We were obligated to summarize an article every week. So this is one of those.

Terrorism is a realist action that is really well-planned. A lot of people think that terrorism is an action that is done by some crazy people who are out their mind. But the fact it's really a realist action that needs plan just like business campaign.

According to Alan Dershowitz's article "Why Terrorism Works" Terrorism is an entirely rational choice to achieve a political objective.It is indeed a decision based on logical processes.

Palestina is one of the best example of country who has high chance of success in terrorism. Palestian terrorists take the distinction between outcome and process into account.

From that point of view, we can conclude that terrorists have some rational Characteristic as follows:
Purposiveness
Terrorists do their action as a purposeful activity

Logic
Calculate the sufficient harm that may happen against the power of target places in order to accomplish its objectives

Timing
When they are going to do the attack depands on changing strategic circumstances

Target selection
Terrorist groups choose their target based on the political objectives they aim to

Learning
Modern terrorist generation learn the procedure from their formers


Well I don't like politic things but it's not bad to know some interesting facts about it. :) :) After all it seems that we'll never make the world a better place to live because the world is getting worse from time to time. All we can do is waiting until the world time is up and before that happens let's concerning about the way we make our life worth to be judged in the next life.

Death Note

Before those Indonesian police indentified that the Bali bomb accidents were using suicide-bombing method, I was thinking if I were the doer, it would be easy to remove myself from the criminal list by exploding myself then the case is finish. Just a crazy thinking of mine when I heard that one of the victims was found only his head and leg. Anyway, now the police think the way I have ever thought too. Cool isn't it? I laughed loudly when a few moments after I finished my imagination, the "thing" became real.

This situation reminds me of a manga that I am recently reading right now on Net. Perhaps some of you also know this manga called DEATHNOTE. Perhaps, if the shinigami or the death god is really giving his death note to a human, this somehow could explain the cause of Bali bombing 2.

If Kira had been exist, he would have remembered the faces and written the names of those three criminals whose heads were found by police in three spots of the bombing accidents. Kira can control the last action of someone he wishes to kill. All he has to do is only writing the cause of deaths and time then the person will do exactly what is written and die at the mentioned time and date.
Thus those three bombers had ever met Kira somewhere and after their name have been written, they all together went to Bali with three packs of dynamites. In a certain place, those three finally said goodbye to each other and unconsciously walked to three different places to do their final farewell action and then they blew up themselves. No one will know who is the main actor behind those events, the police will keep searching and thinking those three are the criminals but they will never know the bombers were no one but ordinary people who met their bad luck, and soon the case will be closed without any solutions. In the end, Kira will be the one who laughs at those scenes and enjoys reading the news day by day while thinking of another terrorism plan.

AARRGGGHHHH....stop dreaming!!!! I do hate those terrorists, especially if the terrorist is a native who terrors his/her own country only for getting attention and sensation. Real terrorists are not that stupid, they have clear (mostly political) objectives and a spesific target, which may endanger their country.
Stupid terrorists only know how to imitate world terrorist by bombing their own country because they want to be famous and when they get caught and judged they use regional reason "god's will" as the only background and happy to die for their god. Then all I can say is just die and you'll find how's life after dead is when you'll meet the real judgement. "Peace man!!"
