Anyway, what I can say is:
THESIS IS HORCRUX! That is surely one of Voldy's Horcruxes. It has the effect just like Slytherin's locket, it changes your mood and makes you emotional. Hahaha. I start to scapegoat it, but whatever, I feel it. :p
Back to the topic, I just remember the analogy of a bus after shopping in ITC Mangga Dua. Have you ever heard about someone who is waiting for the bus?
Love is like someone waiting for the bus. After the bus comes, we said, "Too full, there will be no space to sit. I'll wait for the next one."
Then another bus comes. And we said, "This bus is so ugly, and the chair is almost broken. I don't want it."
And we let it go.
The next bus comes, cool and we want to take it, but as if it can't see us, and just pass in front if us.
The the forth bus comes, empty and not really bad. But we said, "No AC, I don't want it because it's so hot." And we let it go, again.
Time runs and we've just realized that we are about to be late.
When the fifth bus comes, we are not patient anymore, we just jump into it.
And after some times, we just find out that we've taken the wrong direction!
After wasting our time that long.
Moral of this analogy:
Often, we wait for someone who is really ideal to be our life partner. Whereas, no one can meet our expectation 100%. And we also can't be perfect 100% like what he wants. Nothing wrong with some requirements for our spouse-wanna-be, but nothing wrong also to give chances for them who has stopped in front of us. Of course with the same direction. Later if we don't want to continue it, we still can say, "Stop", and jump out from the bus politely.
Giving chances for them who stop in front of us, it all depends on our hands. Better than if we have to walk alone to our offices, in other words, live our life without the presence of someone we love.
This story also can mean if we find the bus we like, it's empty, and it has the same direction with us, we can try our best to make it stops and let us go inside. Finding that kind of bus is a very precious grace for us, and for them. Then, what kind of bus we are waiting for?
Tee-Hee, this analogy is not wrong. We can't find someone perfect because we are not perfect, too. But I believe, it does not mean we just take it haphazardly and carelessly. It's the matter of our life partners. It's okay if we take the full bus and we have to stand, or if the bus is hot, or whatsoever, I mean, we are only in the bus for how long? Maybe 1, 2, 3 hours? But spouse? It will remain for a lifetime. 3/4 of our life will be with him. Of course we can't take it randomly.
And with prayer, and surrender, I believe God will give the best for us. We can get the same direction bus with us, and it must be empty because God created it only for us. That bus will be nice and comfortable for us.
And God doesn't want us to be in the wrong bus. That's why He asks us to pray, pray before decide. Maybe I can add something to this analogy. Sometimes when the good bus comes, it's clean, shiny, empty, cool, quick, or anything. But if we don't ask God, maybe we won't know that the bus is almost run out of fuel or has the opposite direction with us. Because we think it's the best, but God doesn't think the same.
Sometimes what's best for us is different with what's best for Him.
By the way, then, I can write the similar one after shopping in ITC Mangga Dua.
Love is like shopping.
When we see a cute dress we want to buy it. But it's too expensive.
Then we think we will find it in another shop.
We find the similar one, but it's too small. The size doesn't fit our body.
And we hunt again.
Then we find the cheap and size-fit one, but we don't like the color and the shop doesn't have other colors.
After wasting our time like a whole day, and our feet hurt, we decide to go back to the first shop and take it.
But then we can't find the shop that sells it!
Because the shops in ITC Mangga Dua is killing.
After you leave it, it's nearly impossible to find it again.
And then we regret it, for losing the cute expensive dress.
Hahahaha.
This can be applied to the spouse's quest, too.
When we meet someone we like, they may be too high to be reached.
Then we give up and find another one.
But this another one doesn't fit us, and we can't take it.
And we think of the next hunting to get another one we like and fit.
Gotcha! We find it, available and reachable, we can communicate and get along well. But we don't like them, maybe for their physical appearance?
Then after wasting like almost a whole life, we are tired and want to go back to the first, to get'em.
But we forget how and where to find'em!
Moral of this story:
Always ask for the card of a shop or write down its address when shopping in ITC Mangga Dua!
Once you leave, never hope to come back. Tcha! :p
