And you will see the core of the problem.
At least that's what my mind is thinking right now. Inside the state of grace, I am totally productive. My mind is full of love, my heart is full of love, and my whole life is full of love. Aside from several typos while making this post, I am fine, but when I am not, i usually said :
God, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
God, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
God, have mercy.
Well, it works.
While I'm thinking about the explanation of the statement above, let us discuss cynicism. Cynicism is actually good for several years after its conception, calling people to fight greed, hypocrisy, and to establish discipline and simplicity within. The modern version, however, is terrible.
Here are some excerpts and examples I got.
Cynicism takes the notion that every institution and every person is for sale, and enshrines it as an eternal truth. It insists that human motives are debased and always will be. Cynicism implies that no institutions, truths, or community bonds are worth fighting for. - http://www.earthisland.org/journal/index.php/eij/article/whats_wrong_with_cynicism/
"some cynics thought that the controversy was all a publicity stunt" - an example of Google's dictionary.
"So you're helping people by working for and promoting a company? Tell me, how much money you make out of it?" - my guess of someone's mind after reading that a guy is helping people on some remote places in Indonesia by establishing sanitazion by pro oting a soap company.
The list could go on, but we have heard a lot of it, I'm sure of it. Take this song for example:
Segitiga lo ada di lokalisasi mana
masih gadis apa janda nama asli siapa
tiba tiba dateng pas sensasi udah usang
orang udah lupa ngotrek nantang berang baru lo pasang
masih gadis apa janda nama asli siapa
tiba tiba dateng pas sensasi udah usang
orang udah lupa ngotrek nantang berang baru lo pasang
sungguh kasihan klo nyerang nya sekarang
kalah ama orang awam yg duluan berang
mudah mudahan tebakan gw kagak benar
kalo ternyata lo nge DISS cm buat menumpang tenar

kalo ternyata lo nge DISS cm buat menumpang tenar
ntar lo sama gw jadi nya gk beda sepintas
sama sama di anggap mencari popularitas
bilang gw jealous, demo belebel aja males
tapi kalo diminta DISS balikin nih gw bales

Lyric in bold:
I hope that my guess is wrong
That you are dissing just for riding me for fame
That you are dissing just for riding me for fame
Later, you and me aren't distinguishable at first sight
Considered as the same, searching popularity...
Considered as the same, searching popularity...
It's a diss, full of profane word, but we got that a lot of music "appreciators" are cynical.
What can we do to fight this? Alas, I have known nothing better but to seek the good in everyone. As for our first topic... let us end this for now and ponder it in our hearts.
