Respect.

Hi! How are all of my fellas doing?

You see, I've been VERY busy with high school. I'm an official 12th grader now! And you know what that means--more and more studying. But what the hey, I know that this would pay off in the end.

Okay so enough chit-chat. Gue sengaja iseng ngepost karena akhir-akhir ini gue merasa banyak orang yang sangat tidak menghormati satu prinsip hidup gue: do not do whatever you do not want other people to do to you.

Maaf kalo sedikit sok apalah ato gimana, tapi sejak seseorang pernah ngasih tau gue kalimat itu, gue sangat setuju dengan prinsip tersebut. An instant example; a friend of yours lost your pen. You'd feel pissed. But don't think of it as an attempt to lose back your friend's pen, because you already know how he'd feel if you were to lose it. Instead, you should just let it go. Your friend is already feeling bad, so why bother?

Salah satu contohnya lagi; mock somebody's role model. Your friend loves Justin Bieber. Okay, so maybe you dislike him, or even hate him maybe. But that friend of yours looks up to him, and he/she really adores him. So, should you really mock Justin Bieber and say he's not a good role model to him/her? Should you say that he sucks and that he/she should find a better role model?
Say, if your role model were to get mocked at, would you NOT be mad? Would you NOT feel that this random douche who mocks at your role model is just talking bullcrap and makes you want to strangle the shit out of him/her? So, DON'T mock other people's role model. But just so I'm clear, kalo emang mereka sukanya sama role model yang sangat amat menyesatkan dan tidak baik untuk jiwa dan raga (wait wat..) sih ya jangan dibiarin juga. :|

Another example? Hm okay, this happened recently to an acquaintance of mine:
Jadi ada orang yang waktu itu pernah telat masuk kelas gara-gara satu dan lain hal. Tapi, karena dia nggak ijin guru dulu, dia dihukum. Hukumannya? Nyanyi depan kelas. Oke, acceptable, karena dia emang yang salah. Yang nggak acceptable adalah, ketika dia kembali ke tempat duduknya, dia malah digangguin. Dipermaluin. Diketawain dan digodain (yea ok I think I've made my point). Mungkin bagi orang-orang yang lain itu lucu, karena orang ini emang rada aneh dan sedikit ansos dan mungkin bagi orang lain dia udah sering diketawain jadi udah nggak dimasukin ke hati. Salah. Dia keliatan senyam-senyum kecil selagi dia diketawain, tapi gue tau kalo di dalem hati, dia udah super benci sama yang ngata-ngatain dia ini. Maybe you're thinking, "what's the big deal? We all get laughed a lot, so it's no biggie".

Wrong.

You treat people like how you want other people to treat you. Do you want to get mocked at, laughed at, after being punished in front of the whole class? No. Or do you?

What I'm saying is, please, PLEASE, do not lack this one thing in your life. Apa enaknya sih nyiksa orang? Ujung-ujungnya juga ntar karma yang dateng sendiri, tinggal tunggu waktunya aja.

Semua contoh-contoh ini baru hal-hal yang sangat simpel, dan masih banyak orang yang menderita karena keegoisan orang-orang lainnya. Learn how to respect other people and yourself.
