It seems to be harder to prove people around that you could do it day to day. i’ve been living the most independent days of my life, employed by none, have no responsibility for other people, do whatever i want and i could blame on things. but why its not easier of life. a life of making thing people do boring like this. i think i’ll be stronger everyday, but what i found is a fragile mind. I coudn’t bear any saying that could leave me the insecurity, loss of self-confident and disappointment.

If life is so purposeless, do you feel that it’s worth living?
Yes, for those of us who manage somehow to cope with our mortality. The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning. Children, of course, begin life with an untarnished sense of wonder, a capacity to experience total joy at something as simple as the greenness of a leaf; but as they grow older, the awareness of death and decay begins to impinge on their consciousness and subtly erode their joie de vivre, their idealism - and their assumption of immortality. As a child matures, he sees death and pain everywhere about him, and begins to lose faith in the ultimate goodness of man. But if he’s reasonably strong - and lucky - he can emerge from this twilight of the soul into a rebirth of life’s elan. Both because of and in spite of his awareness of the meaninglessness of life, he can forge a fresh sense of purpose and affirmation. He may not recapture the same pure sense of wonder he was born with, but he can shape something far more enduring and sustaining. The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent, if we come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death - however mutable man may be able to make them - our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.

there so many issues for woman who pursuit art as her lifetime goal. they all sophisticated and surrounded with sorrow. one day, she look at her reflection at the mirror, she staring at its, capture every movement of the figures on her face. why things look close-up is so tremendous and melancholic. under the skin must be a lot of fussy blood veins. she slowly inhale and then exhale. yes that it. i couldn’t remember my fling insight for the connection between air, art, love, insight.etc. anyways, will they be fully happy during the time, or they will crush themself as strong wind go into the storm eye, is it happy there or just the sacrify or enormous concession to arrive the assumption of happiness.
It takes courage to grow up to become who you really are
E.E. Cummings
Nobody tells this to people who are beginners. I wish someone had told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase; they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know that it’s normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you finish one piece. It’s only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and you work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take a while. It’s normal to take awhile. You just gotta fight your way through. Ira Glass And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is nonsense to say that God fills the gap; God does not fill it, but keeps it empty so that our communion with another may be kept alive, even at the cost of pain
Dietrich Bonhoeffer Tegel Prison, Berlin 1945
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, “What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”
C.S. Lewis
Is love possible? Is freedom possible? Is the truth possible? Is it possible to be one’s actual self around another human being? Is it possible to be a human being anymore? Is it possible to be a person? Do persons even exist?
R D Laing
sustainable designs, a must do for future life
Maybe it was never the right time of ’sustainability” to appear before, nowadays people could see any of it or familiar concepts applied all over the world. It not a spontaneous for that perception to happen, as the research by the depletion of natural resources such as fossil fuel, coal etc. in the next 40 years if people still wasting in energy use and exploiting it inefficiently (…?). Fitzpatrick (2008) also confirms that the population grow so rapidly that the earth could face to the desperate deficiency of water and energy. The effect of industrialization and urbanization has driven the world to the climate change which is threatening the agriculture, infrastructure and economy.
Therefore, the development of cleaner technologies and more efficient strategy of using natural resources is key to reducing the environmental impacts on production, economy and human being. Design thinking should be implemented carefully to innovate the business to new level. In term of business innovation, ‘sustainability’ will be a high consideration for any concept and technology applied to life. For example, the new business method stages the experience that exposes the customer into changing their habit or behaviour for a green consumption like less packaging, less paper advertising and more consciousness for a long-term projects. That development of design thinking will form the new consumption pattern for the sustainable future.
sustainable economy
We obviously knew a truly fact that all of the inputs to the economy come from the environment, and all of the wastes produced by it return to the environment. So, how we all together can grow a sustainable economy in order to survive longer, healthier and safer in this planet.
A report by Economic Justice for All and CASSE state that happiness and life satisfaction increase with income but it will be ended at a point. Once people’s basic needs are met and they have enough goods and services, economic growth fails to improve people’s well-being. That is what we can observe from reality that most of developed countries gain least parameter of happiness. But humanity just stuck with that dilemma of growth (I already refered in the previous blog post), as Tim Jackson indicates that stimulating the growth is unsustainable whereas de-growth means unstable. The economic growth still rely on consumption growth which also derive from luxurious and unnecessary demand.
The challenge for humanity is to figure out the pathway for a positive alternative to the pursuit of endless economic growth. We need to maintain a stable level of resource consumption and a stable population. The report points out that by successfully obtain that balance, energy and resource use are then reduced to levels that are within ecological limits. In addition to, the goal of maximising economic output is replaced by the goal of maximising quality of life. and the root is the economy is a human construct so if you want to change the world you live in, you have to change your behaviour as well as mis-concept for a green lifestyle.
the diagram shows the current structure how people, economy and environment relate together.
