Jomblang Cave Jogjakarta

Yesterday I came across a YouTube video called Analog Trip, this video is about 6 K-pop idols went on a trip to Indonesia for holiday. My older sister was the one who recommend me to watch it a few months ago.

The whole 12 series of their video were very good, but there are two episodes that left huge impression to me. In this video they were visiting Goa Jomblang  or Jomblang Cave. This cave located in Gunung Kidul the special region of Indonesia Yogyakarta. This vertical cave is a thousand years sinkhole with enormous 50 meter wide mouth of cave. This place also a conservation for tropical ancient plants managed by local people. If lucky, people could enjoy the 'Heaven Light', the 90 meter magnificent light that piercing through the cave

To go in and out of the cave people have to work together. It is a 💯 percent manual labor tourist spot. A group of experts helps tourist to go in by the rope, and pull the tourist out using a bunch of local people muscles. The tourists have to put their trust to a group of strangers, and their life literally hanging by the rope provided by the expert.

To go to the final destination, a person has to walk a long way through the darkness on the muddy and slippery ground. Surprisingly, people who travel in a group will help each other automatically without being asked. People are tend to work well together and help each other when they face the same difficulties. And at the end of destination all the hardworks were paid off. It doesn't matter whether the heaven lights would shine or not, a person already has conquered many obstacles to reach the end and it is a very remarkable achievement.

Hardship are needed in life, so people would fathom satisfaction. There won't be light without darkness, there won't be heat without cold. Cold is just an event where the heat is absence, and dark is just the absence of light.

Our life also the same, there is no hard life is just the absence of something good to come. My favourite motto in life is 'Blessing in Disguise', for me everything that doesn't go according to my plan and wish are all blessing in disguise. We all will always have the last laugh, we just don't know when we will have the last laugh.

The Tao is infinite, eternal. Why is it eternal? It was never born; thus it can never die. Why is it infinite? It has no desires for itself; thus it is present for all beings. The Master stays behind; that is why she is ahead. She is detached from all things; that is why she is one with them. Because she has let go of herself, she is perfectly fulfilled.

Three Truths About God's Calling

The World Needs What You’ve Got In case you didn’t know, YOU were created for a purpose that NO ONE else can fill. God loves you and created you for such a time as this. What is obvious to you is amazing to others; that “obvious” is your gifting from a loving God. Take it public. Give of YOU to those around you. The world needs what you’ve got. Your Failures Are Part of the Plan Truth. My plans can in no way thwart God’s purpose. That’s good to know because my plans don’t always go the way *I* want them to. Fortunately, my failed plans are still a part of God’s purpose. You Make A Difference to Everyone God Brings to You Every encounter, every meeting is ordained by God to allow us to show Christ’s love to others, to welcome people into His kingdom, into fellowship with Him, into reconciliation with Him. Let us so implore those who God brings to us to put their trust completely in Him. - The world needs you - walk in your calling YouVersion Bible app

Entitlement

People say our young generation is entitled, it is a good topic to joke about for the stand-up comedians. Entitled is believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment. I believe this is not owned by the young generation only, every generation has it, every one of us has it to some degree. This is a problem we have in society in any age, in any countries in this world. I remember when I was a kid, at night during the hot season our house was filled with mosquitos, and dengue fever are quite common in our country.  I can't remember whether I and my sister ever whined about it but I always remember the fact that my mother often stayed up late holding the insects killer racket just to defended us from the mosquitoes. However, My entitlement behaviour took the bad on me, I thought she ought to do that one because she is our mother, it's her duties to protect us. I did not really care how many hours she has spent at our room every night, or whethe...
