He was always such a nice boyThe quiet oneWith good intentionsHe was down for his brotherRespectful to his motherA good boybut good don't get attentionOne kid with a promiseThe brightest kid in schoolHe's not a foolReading books about science and smart stuffIt's not enough, noCause smart dont make you cool, whoa(Stole - Kelly Rowland)A bit of Kelly Rowland song. Realita? Yes, it is. This song desribe a person yang very smart, devoted sama keluarganya, in short, a very good individual. Tapi all of that belum cukup. Pengakuan dari peers nya dia, pengakuan bahwa dia seorang individual yang exist adalah hal terakhir yang dia ingin. Sayang, kebanyakan dari kita ketika melihat orang spt dia (stereotypes this kind of person : geek, glasses yang tebel, or nerd, whatever), saking ngerasa terlalu exist nya, then bully org2x seperti ini. end of story, the guy in this song, he commits suicide. Maybe some ppl akan heran, what the hell is he doing, kok di bully aja sampai commits suicide? Nah..tanpa kita sadari, sesuatu hal yang buat kita "biasa" belum tentu "biasa" buat orang lain. ppl itu unique. This song teaches us to menghargai every human being, ngga peduli dia nerdy as in this story or whatsoever.
Sepanjang hidup gue, some ppl said gue itu too friendly to everyone. well, that's me. walaupun gue ngga pernah berada dalam posisi yang bener2x sendiri, gue bisa ngerasain penderitaan orang orang yang sendirian. Lets see, last week @ campus, i saw a working man, sit alone in a table during lunch time. He sat there, ate his lunch and smoke his ciggar, all alone. Dalam naluri gue yang tergila, gue bisa merasa pity banget dan bahkan bisa invite buat lunch bareng di table gue dan anak2x. well, that's (not) impossible. Jaman sekarang ini, doing some kindness bisa dibilang mengherankan dan membuat orang takut, takut kalau kita punya maksud maksud tertentu.
So, anyways, cuma mau ngingetin, please do appreciate, be kind to all people u meet anywhere (okay, please do take not, jangan terlalu baik juga sih, ini irritating cuz ive been in this situation of friendship). Nobody meant to be alone, so never stop trying to be kind, cuz its what makes u worth to be with =)
