Perspective Diversity

I love watching movies and discussing it with my friend. I often asked them, “What do you think of that movie?” my friend A replied, “I admire how the casts act. They were so great. I still couldn’t believe how she could absorb all of the complexity of that character of hers and acted it out. It leaves me speechless.” And then B added “It’s really cool how they made the cinematography. It was so well-thought, well-done and great. It still leaves me wondering how they can take that particular scene from that angle. It must’ve been hard but it paid off, nevertheless. It was brilliant.” Then C also added some spice into the game, to which he said “I’m really curious about their editing. How can they make such great movie? I wonder where do they learn to edit movie to become like that?”

That event enable me to conclude this one thing : even from watching the same movie, every single one of us is looking at it from a different point of view. One from its acts, one from its cinematography, one from its editing and myself saw a film from its story-plot.

Well, for starter, if all of us were focusing on the story-plot only, the other aspects will go ashtray, right? No one wants to watch a bad movie, no matter how great the story-plot is. The actors and actresses have to be great along with the execution of the whole movie. The cinematography, special effects, editing and everything. All of them have to support one another to make one great movie. That’s why perspective diversity is so important. We need that difference in perspective. Those perspectives complete each other so we’ll able to grasp its big picture.

TEDtalk on “Helpful advice for aspiring writers of all ages” once said that no one else sees the world quite the same way as you do, so share your unique perspective. The main reason of me making this blog is I want to share my perspective with all of you. Some may agree, some may not. And it’s okay. My perspective, my way of seeing things doesn’t have to be your way of seeing things too.

Because none of us is the same, right?

I mentioned sixth sense in one of my previous post, the “What Should I do” one. True, I stated that the longer we know someone, we’ll develop some kind of sixth sense that’ll help us “communicate” with them. A wordless communication, so to say. That mind reader, gesture-talk kind of things. But I must say that that telepathy is a double edged sword. Why? Because it has its own downside. Opinion. Allow me to quote another saying of Haemin Sunim : “when we think we already know someone, we stop making effort to know them better. Consider when you think you already know your loved ones and when you do, you are failing to see them as they are right now, you see them through the prism of previously held opinions , instead.” Those words quoted from his “Love for Imperfect Things” book, and again, I could not believe how true it is. That “prism of previously held opinions” have an immense power to destroy our relationships because we instantly judge people. We did it in a heart

The Family Who Read

I was raised in a family who appreciate reading. It’s all started way back when we were young. We grew up reading comic books, our parents often gave us books as our “naik kelas”’s gifts. So we ended up looking forward to books. I remember the feeling when we were anxiously waiting for our packs of books to open, couldn’t wait to read it as we already waiting for it for a long time. And as a continuation of that, by the time we were a teenager, we expand our liking to novels, and our house filled with fantasy books such as “Eragon”, “The Bartimaeus Trilogy” by Jonathan Stroud, books written by Cornelia Funke, “Maximum Ride” by James Patterson and the likes which supplied by our mother. So myself in particular found solace and curiousity in fantasy books. So then we developed our love for books. Growing up, each of us found our own genre, as my brother likes “Haruki Murakami”, me and my father on motivation-filled books, and my mother stays with her love for fa

Learn to Let Go

Let go; letting go : “An act of letting go; to free yourselves from self-destructive things. Be it a thought, a person, a feeling and anything of the sorts. To make peace with yourself.” Letting go of someone or something truly is not an easy task, so easy to say yet extremely difficult to do. I just had a very tough day as me and my friend shouldered something we shouldn’t have. We got caught up in the middle of something so bad, which may affect our future (in a bad way, of course). A “bad luck”, so to say. We’re just some unlucky dude who got involved in some unlucky event, basically just being in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Same old story. And so I got home, bursting my anger to an (also) unlucky friend of mine and sure enough, I ended up regretting what I did later. As my head start to think more clearly, I can see fear as the main culprit of my raging anger. Fear of my lack of knowledge that will eventually lead to my teacher’s
