Life..
What a day! Felt really tired, after becoming the ‘field coordinator’ (Did I translate it right?) for today’s new student "briefing" at my faculty. Glad things went just fine. All those events ended just about 3 hours ago, which was already dark by the way. And you know what, suddenly, it was rainning. And now, I’m stuck inside the SM-Fasilkom UI’s room (for those who don’t know, SM stands for ‘Senat Mahasiswa’) waiting, until the hard rain ends.
Ok, what to talk? How about, let’s talk about life.What’s so interesting about life?You know, I often opened my sms conversation with the line "how’s life?" to my fellow friends. Till know, I always thought that those 2 words have deep meanings inside. It’s like a universal question. A Question that can be answered by many kinds of different answer. But really, what is Life really? Any opinion?

Hullo Ga… how’s life? =) I’ve found out that u’ve got a blog! Well, care to visit mine sometimes =) Life? What kind of answer would u like to know? Philosophically, I believe life’s just a manifestation of God Himself… but probably u won’t like to hear that. Anyway it won’t be useful though. So my opinion is, life’s all about meaning. After all, what’s the reason of your presence? My reason is to make a better future living of universe. Not just human, but nature itself.
BTW, I’ve got a lil’ project, some kind of a starting point for my future megakingdom. Non-profit, it’s all about better living of all. Care to contribute? There’s not much to do in these early stages and I won’t ask your money. Simply approve when “Butterfly” adds you. Further instruction follows. How ’bout that? It’s first campaign is about antitobacco.
See you soon.

Wow Coz, your first re-definition is really heavy yet free-thinked. Though, after our previous talk, it’s understandable. Everyone have their own definiton about life, don’t you agree? Wait until I post one of my wildest thoughts: a post about the relativity of ‘truth’
I’ve seen one of your postes a while ago. What happened couz? we’ve been meeting more than 4 times this year, but there are still major things that happened without me knowing? I think i’ll go and visit your blog and see if I can post my comment one or two..
ps:future megakingdom project? Interesting. Well, i’ll be waiting..

Well my couz’, actually my first definition has a kinda-scientific basic. Why? Because life itself is one of the greatest mysteries universe has. U see, life cannot be simply explained by physics or biology. Some years ago, Faraday, through a complicated experiment, found a mysterious wave, for it’s not bound to space and time. Independent of universe! It was then named as nonlocal wave, because it seems that it doesn’t originate from universe we inhabit. What’s so interesting about this wave is that it’s undetectable except through its effects to the material world. What’s more, this wave seems to have no cause. Unlike light or other waves which caused by energy activities surrounding particles, nonlocal wave has no cause. Could it actually originate from higher world, “God’s World”? What’s more, all lives, from a living single cell to mankind, are bound to it without exception. Meaning, there’s only one wave, interconnecting all lives, creating an ultracomplicated network between individuals. All of these explains Psi phenomenon; telepathy, clairvoyance, and so on.
Imagine, all lives are actually one, without any bound to space and time. Life’s just exist; existence is its only attribute, and nothing else… u can’t ask where or when, it just simply exists…
Well, that’s how I conclude my definition. It seems to fit Hegel’s idealism phylosophy though… coincidence?
Ah, maybe u’re not interested anyway… but, yes, I guess everyone has his/her own definition of life. So far it’s not destructive, I guess it’s OK
BTW I really look forward your post on relativity of truth. Can’t wait! BTW (again), I guess I’d add up a discussion forum for my project. Please join, I’ll need a great thinker like you. It’s aim is not to find truth (since truth is relative), it’s aim is to provide various point of view regarding an issue. So it won’t be bound ONLY to science, religion, or phylosophy; it’ll allow all point of views, even including common sense and art as well. How about that? I’ll contact you again once the forum is ready.
