Unsettling Feeling

Should we settle an unsettling questions, even if we know the process might hurt us and those involved, or should we just drown our self into endless activities to forget those feelings?

Story 1 : The doctor who is reluctant to tell patient the truth

I got this bump on my arm. Just went to the doctor for checking up, what this bump really is.

Me : So, what is this bump really is?
Doctor : Nothing... nothing... only a bump...
Me : You have to tell me what is this bump, so I will know what kind of medication available out there to cure this bump...
Doctor : Not all of things works that way...

Confused, I just walk away... Is this a tumor? cancer? or maybe just a big boil? Should I gone through surgery? chemo? or just let it cured by itself? This is an unsettling feeling...

Story 2 : Flower

I really love flower viewing, but a friend told me, some of those flower is poisonous. He just didn't want to tell me where is the one... I guess he just only afraid that I'll pick it and throw it in the fire if I know which one is poisonous... Like hell I would do that! Firstly, it'll damage the garden's beauty overall, second, I just could walk away or keep a distance from that flower.

I become really cautious there... I keep telling myself that I must wear a mask wherever I walk there. Actually I want to open my mask, but this awry feeling keep haunting me...

Some news stated that those flower might bloom this year. Should I go? Should I go to confirm whether it is really poisonous or not? Should I go because I just know that that garden won't exists forever, and we wouldn't know if that garden will ever bloom again? Or should I just forget about that garden? This is another unsettling feeling...

Dua Sisi

Mengajarkan hak juga harus mengajarkan kewajiban.
Mengajarkan harus saling menolong juga harus mengajarkan pentingnya kemandirian.
Mengajarkan bakti anak juga harus mengajarkan kewajiban orang tua.
Mengajarkan harus menghormati yang lebih tua juga harus mengajarkan perilaku pantas bagi yang lebih tua ke yang muda.

Hak didapat setelah kejawiban dijalankan,
Pertolongan hanya diminta ketika terdesak.
Pertolongan hanya diberi ketika yang diminta mampu.
Bakti datang karena kewajiban dijalankan, keduanya harus jalan bersamaan.
Penghormatan datang dari jasa, perilaku, dan kebijaksanaan,
bukan karena umur atau jabatan.
