this world's teaching me to observe... and not taking side yet.

We had good times, had bad times. Years pass by and people change. Yes, people change. And it changes me, too.

I said, in high school, stupid smokers! Especially those smokers whose head veiled. What the hell are they thinking?
Here, now, I can say nothing when my bestfriend passionately smoke in front of me, with her veil, hidden from outside. Sometimes under pressure because she don't want to be seen, but she wants to smoke badly. Or, a lovable best-bestfriend who has to wear veil after married. A young girl, only twenty-two who rarely got home sober in the dawn. It's totally weird to see her in such thing, I was like shouting "Allahu akbar!" at first, but soon to be calmed with her normal portion-cigarette which make me sure she's still completely sober.

And never thought a friend would be a Christ denier... Or got into a really deep doubtness of religion matter, and finally left...
Either preachers or non-believer are great. For the sake of humanity, I love both of them. As long as they don't disturb me, or try to preach on me. I once a nice believer, how diffferent all of us ever since. And a bestfriend suddenly agnostic. Lots of agnostics around. And lots of holy mates. My mom and Dad might be surprised for my frequency of saying "Astaghfirullah", "Masyaallah", and so on, or to find Al-Qur'an highlighted on my desk, together with my untouched bible. But for that case, religions are merely habit.

I mocked at people who believe in ghost. I mocked at all form of irrationality....
Then I lived for nearly two months with host family in Turkey who truly believe in fortune-telling and all the supernatural matters. Then one and a half month in a remote island in Eastern Lesser Sunda with all the magical things. I can say nothing, I could mock no one. I was taught to respect, to observe.


And I am halfway understand that people wear masks.Welcome to the world, honey!
You might be too late.
How young souls are so easy. Easy to everything, on everything.

Next you may say divorce is normal, permissive to homosexuals, even probably get used to torture, then have excuse for everything.
The more you know, the more reasons behind everything you can find out.
There will be a time to take sides.

But before all, the pleasure of being naive... is irreplaceble.
And I would like to trade everything to be naive forever.
