Millenial Age

I am the early generation of millennials. During my three decades of my life, I have been experiencing some minor and major events where the world was on panic and so called the Global meltdowns. 

My first Global panic was the 1997-1998 Global Financial Crisis which led to the fallout of the longest regime of Indonesia presidency and also the biggest race and religion persecution on minorities in the country. 

Two years later, we experiencing a fear that all the whole system around the world will collapse after 11.59 pm on 31 December 1999. We are going to the stone age in 2000. People are going to lost all the record on what they have and the world are going to be on chaos and disoriented at the beginning of the new millenium. People were spending their saving and became preppers before they lost all their money due to system failures.

Then seven years later on 2007 to 2008 we have the global financial crisis. I was working in one of the biggest Indonesia International Bank at that time. The Global financial meltdown were really highly publicised around the world and affecting almost seven billion of people around the world in panic.

In 2012, the prophecy on Mayan Calender has stop. People believe that the world will end in 2012. Some major catastrophes such as man made, natural disasters, and extra territorial things will wiped out the earth in 2012.

The Thanos so far is the current event. The first pendemic in my life Covid-19, which currently affecting 210 countries and territories in lockdowns and restrictions, 2,026,938 cases, and 129,100 accounted deaths. At the beggining of the outbreak I have seen some low life capitalist that hoarding and stocked up all the essential items. During lockdowns we see some solidarity to people and from people who are in distress because of all the isolation.

I truly live in the interesting times, and I am  very grateful Lord that I have experiencing all types of small and major events. It has broaden my horizon, it has taught me how to be positive, how to embrace the uncertainties and anxieties that comes with it, how to persevere, how to endure and be patient to everything and everyone. Everything will pass, and all is lost.

Smile

How to Win Friends and Influence People Dale Carnegie It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich they can get along without, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.  It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and Nature´s best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away.  And if in the last-minute rush of Christmas buying someone should be too tired to give you a smile, maybe we can leave one of ours for them. For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to  give !  give ! https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/23...

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...

Addiction

Addiction is the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity. Addiction usually start with pain and end with pain. People will turn to addiction as an escape from their 'hard to deal with' current circumstances. Addiction have negative connotation but in my opinion addiction can be good and bad. But anything that not being done in moderation tends to bring more harm and good.  However, the dichotomy of bad and good, can we really be able to distinguish them? In my own opinion again there is no such things as true good and true bad, all good and all bad. It all depends on our own perceptions and our current states when it's happen. What is good now might not be good again tomorrow, the thing that is good now was not good yesterday. If we are battling with any addiction today, let's all of us be kind to ourselves. We should all acknowledge our addictions and bring them to the lights, but we shouldn't condemn them. We are what we are now b...
