Proportions

Proportions

Written by: Dianna Rikasari

 

In order to have a simple, happy life...I think we just gotta know our rights and responsibilities and live accordingly. Everyone has the right to be happy, to have dreams, to express our thoughts, to sing and dance, to eat and sleep, to feel sad and angry. But everything in the right proportion. With rights, comes responsibilities...to be responsible to God, to our parents, to respect other people, to do our job right, to help other people, to build a better future, to contribute to the society.

Sometimes, we think about our rights too much, and speak up too loud when someone else violates our rights. We often forget, that other people also have the right to be heard, to be forgiven and to be given a second chance too. Because we also have rights to make mistakes. Because without any, we would never learn...:)

I just can't agree no more after reading this thought. This life is too short to be messed up with dramas. Make it simple and easy. It will become a happy life. Personally, what she explained above was about maturity. Do you agree? Only a child who always asks for their rights (read: wants), sometime a child cries to get what they wants. This child's act is called childish, showing immaturity while on the other hand, an adult, they are supposed to be more mature, he won't do such kind of actions (childish acts).

Yes, many people have said that age does not define maturity. And it is true, sometimes, some adults (and all people who believe that they are grown ups) blind their heart with lusts; ignore the fact that they have hurt someone else because of that. Imposing their idea, it should be applied, no matter what, whatever it takes --- actually, it’s just cruel. So, when you really defend your thought, just think before a word spilled out from your mouth and position yourself as the other people who will respond it, then express your idea nicely and don’t coerce it if people do not like it.

Talking about maturity, it is really close with past and mistakes. Mature means the successful adaptation from experience and observation. It is a great crap if you think that mature without learning from mistakes (no matter whose mistakes).

Yes, there are two kind of result from mistakes, hurts and experience. One thing you should remember: forgive not forget. Forgiving is a must, but never forget what mistakes and what you have learned from that.
