Luke 10, 25:37
10:25 A teacher of the Law came up and tried to trap Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to receive eternal life?"
10:26 Jesus answered him, "What do the Scriptures say? How do you interpret them?"
10:27 The man answered, " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind'; and 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' "
10:28 "You are right," Jesus replied; "do this and you will live."
10:29 But the teacher of the Law wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?"
10:30 Jesus answered, "There was once a man who was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when robbers attacked him, stripped him, and beat him up, leaving him half dead.
10:31 It so happened that a priest was going down that road; but when he saw the man, he walked on by on the other side.
10:32 In the same way a Levite also came there, went over and looked at the man, and then walked on by on the other side.
10:33 But a Samaritan who was traveling that way came upon the man, and when he saw him, his heart was filled with pity.
10:34 He went over to him, poured oil and wine on his wounds and bandaged them; then he put the man on his own animal and took him to an inn, where he took care of him.
10:35 The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Take care of him,' he told the innkeeper, 'and when I come back this way, I will pay you whatever else you spend on him.' "
10:36 And Jesus concluded, "In your opinion, which one of these three acted like a neighbor toward the man attacked by the robbers?"
10:37 The teacher of the Law answered, "The one who was kind to him." Jesus replied, "You go, then, and do the same."
I do not know why but the gospel yesterday made me think (yeah..i can think .....sometimes).
That particular reading is to tell us explicitly that salvation is not for what you believe,or who you are,what religion you have,what society you belong,its something that you DO.
the example is on luke 10:31 above, the priest which is the symbol and the highest shepherd in the society is not care about the "neighbor".
on Luke 10:32 the levite (according to Wikipedia) is the GOD Chosen Israelite is also not the "neighbor".
It is the Samaritan thats became "the neighbor" (according to Wikipedia is the rejected tribe,low life citizen [but not necessary poor] that have no faith in God [Jewish God particularly] ).
Jesus also teach us that living the teaching of God will affect All of human being...not just for Christian people.
Sometimes i became very sad when people trying to help others is judge for "forced evangelist",just because we help others that not Christian in religion.What even make me more sad...they stop doing good to other because they afraid if the stigma.
Maybe not all of you will agree with me,but if we want to help others (Wisely, of course) we help them anyway without afraid any prejudice they will give us in the end.For doing an act of love and compassion is not something we should be afraid of...no matter the consequences.
So ..be not afraid
1 Corinthian 13:13 Meanwhile these three remain: faith, hope, and love; and the greatest of these is love.
This is what i believe...DO NOT LET your faith and hope makes you not doing LOVE

Favourite Quotes
Gue bersyukur waktu gue kuliah gue bisa berkenalan dengan banyak orang yang sengaja atau tidak mengajari gue banyak hal tentang hidup dan prinsip2nya.
Gue merasa beruntung karena waktu gue sekolah gue kaga pernah diajarin itu semua…yang diajarin cuman imam bonjol lahir tahun berapa dan mati tahun berapa.Ketika gue kuliah pun yang 6 tahun itu (iya kuliah gue emang lama karena gue memperdalam ilmunya hihihihihihihih) tetep ajah kagak diajarin hal2 yang justru akan gue pake dan gue butuhkan ketika gue mulai “hidup” di “luar sana”.
Ilmu2 yang gue pelajari cuman ilmu2 gimana bikin bisnis orang laen sukses karena elo kerja disitu.Tapi bagaimana gue bisa sukses secara pribadi…ga pernah tuh diajarin.
Salah satu yang sampe sekarang gue pegang dalam hidup gue adalah nasihat dari kakak angkat gue di kuliah…walaupun dia juga kuliahnya lama hihihihih (teladan yang salah) tapi secara pribadi..dia orang yang sangat luar biasa…i want to be like him as a person.
Di suatu hari dia pernah bilang gini sama gue
“Son, kalau elo lembek sama diri elo sendiri..hidup akan keras sama elo, tapi kalau elo keras sama diri elo sendiri..hidup akan mudah bagi elo”
Prinsip ini yang akan gue ajarin ke anak gue juga.Plus satu lagi yang terngiang2 di kuping gue beberapa tahun terakhir
SUKSES ITU DIPAKSA,GAGAL OTOMATIS
Kalau mau sukses di semua bidang kita harus di paksa , kalau kegagalan sih mudah, gak usah ngapa ngapain juga kita gagal.
Waktu gue mau merit dan dapet bentuk badan yang “rada bagus” gue ikut fitness, nahhhh Personal trainer gue itu selalu berhasil menyiksa gue tiap kali gue latihan,in another word..Di-Pak-Sa.Udah kagak sanggup dan mau mati sit up…tetep ajah di paksa sampe muka elo berkerut dan merah karena nahan sakitnya otot elo ketarik.
Akhirnya…ukuran celana gue dari 38 menjadi 34 lagi…padahal itu latihannya kagak terlalu lama karena gue kecelakaan dan harus istirahat di rumah beberapa minggu.
Jadi prinsip yang di tanamkan ke gue itu benar adanya.
SEGALA SESUATU SULIT SEBELUM JADI MUDAH
jangan pernah berharap bahwa kalau kita ketemu hal baru itu langsung mudah…pasti sulit dulu kayak waktu pertama kalu belajar naik sepeda,gak tau udah jatuh berkali2 waktu belajar.Setelah udah jago…mau jatuh ajah susah.

What is monogamy ?
According to Wikipedia
Monogamy usually refers to a form of marriage in which an individual has only one spouse at any one time. However, monogamy may also refer to the more general state of having only one mate at any one time and as such may be applied to the social behavior of all animals.[1] In current usage monogamy often refers to having one sexual partner irrespective of marriage or reproduction.
Etymologist
The word monogamy comes from the Greek words "μονός", monos which means one or alone, and "γάμος", gamos which means marriage.
Only marry once ?
Marry to yourself ?
marry alone ?
Having one sexual partner at a time ? no threesome allowed ?
funny how the animal was the one found the idea of monogamy,since human is the "higher" animal we should be doing it for a long time ago.But no,through out of history human is not a monogamist in nature.
Ancient Mesopotamia and AssyriaBoth the Babylonian and Assyrian families were monogamous in principle. In the patriarchal society of Mesopotamia the nuclear family was called a "house". In order "to build a house" a man was supposed to marry one woman and if she did not provide him with offspring, he could take a second wife.Blahhhhh.....
Ancient Egypt
The argue is so hot that you need one more aspect to tie it up.....love...that four words that need to be brought down from its glory to justify monogamy.It should be place to their respective idea...monogamy is just an idea.
Don't get me wrong, i choose to be monogamy,why ?A lot of things such as :
- i cannot cope with another woman because my wife is already fill my days (money,emotion,times,space) up ^_^ LOL.
- The risk of STD.
- Living in the monogamy idea neighborhood.
- Risk management of the non-monogamy idea.
- etc.
My point is, sometimes people use monogamy to justify love...and i hate that.For somebody who have a big capacity of loving it is a personal incarceration.

The writing just stop there...seriously i doubt it.but again maybe just the king who could have a lot of concubine.

size..does matter
i just read the news from Kompas here
About a weird news in Papua (that's east Indonesia island where new guinea are).
If you want to be police officer you better not doing or ever do a penis enlargement procedure.
Papua is well know for a lot of methods to top up your penis size by the way.
What it got to do with it you ask ?
Well the method is often mess up with your overall health or what ever that means, and that will make you fail on the health test to join the police academy.

Genesis 15:5
15:5 The LORD took him outside and said, "Look at the sky and try to count the stars; you will have as many descendants as that."
After talking to Ellen my blog friend via phone.I suddenly have a passion to read about that particular part in the Holy Scripture.
Ellen is Batak people, Its one of the biggest tribe in Indonesia which originally come from West Sumatra.Batak people have a straightforward attitude, adventuring soul and a perk on their voices and music (well,most of them).There is a jokes about Batak people that said “when they are alone they will sing or play guitar,when there is two of them they will play chess and when there is three of them they will perform a trio”.
One of the signature things about Batak is their family name and their view about family/brotherhood.
They have a lot family name which determine where they life (in west Sumatra they divide it in 3 major area mandailing, karo and toba).Their family name such as Nasution,Napitupulu,Tobing,Simatupang,Hutapea,Simarmata and a lot of else.
So as examples when a Nasution Married a Tobing both of their family (and their relative) became family,and new the family name would be following the grooms name.
That’s why there is a lot of brothers and sisters in Batak people and they could call it their own.
I just talk to Ellen whom her nephew just arrive in Jakarta after a long time studying in USA and she said (after a week) her nephew still have a lot of family to talk and meet to.
I said to Ellen “maybe Abram is a batak people” because the promise of God that will make the descendent of Abram is as many as stars in the sky.
You can almost find Batak people in every country because of their adventuring soul.Just like Abram descendent.
“You can only find one place where there is no Batak people, its on the moon” they joked.

REGRET
Sometimes in this life we regret the choice we made or the things we said.
That's what i have been doing the whole life..regrets.
But as i grow older,read hundreds of books and hear a lot of wise people i beginning to understand something i thought really important.
Regret can only so far put you in grieve if you let them to.I learn that we could always fix things or achieve things we want eventually.If we spend enough time to let our self to grow.
Today,again i learn about regret.It seems that its all over the place in the trail of my life.
The promise to be better and the dream to be great is what i choose to have right now.
