278 Coffee Shack

It was in the middle of nowhere, hidden by the high mountains and inside the simplicity of life. I was reading George Orwell’s Animal Farm and enjoying my cup of cofee, a cheap one, generic type of coffee you can find from any market. It wasn’t grinded with coffee maker and blended with foam, there was no such goddamn thing here. Just an already grinded coffee packaged inside plastic mixed instantly with hot water. The ordinary coffee enjoyed by the prolet, nothing fancy about it, but I feel more human each time I sipped it, since no one rich around to talk about how expensive their freakin car was or how inferior this coffee was and another reasons how they should never go to this lousy place in the future. Yes, just move to Starbucks, you snob!

But they never set their foot here to get the coffee, there is nothing to brag about here, the nothingness is the simplicity I enjoyed here. There is nothing bad of being enough.

282 Unconscious Judgement

For this experiment I used my Op Art work as it is represent the black and white concept of moral and some bloody splif to develop unconscious stage. The dominant thing I saw in the first stage was the white. But later in the progress of in seeing it longer, the black and white combine into a form, that can be redefine as the result of the black and white unification. The movement behind the illusion created a bridge between the black and the white, thus made me lose control to judge which one out of them was the black or the white.

The unconscious stage of mind doesn’t recognize what black or white looks like or what it represents. It just affected my motoric and sencoric senses to do what they need to do naturaly without any consious third hand affection.

The ideal rationality doesn’t create the dominant side from the black or the white, instead it is a nature to accept the black exsist because of the white and so the other way around and to create a bridge between them without making an absolut solution, as individual may perceive it differently.

265 The Triangle of Hierarchy

[image: self]

The indentity of a human being is a human as itself.
There is no hierarchy to define he/she is better than anyone.
No god can prove anyone is a better being from anyone,
even from the nature.
No leader & entrepeneur can dignify the slavery usage of the lower class,
as it is the only way to sustain the society.
No parents, teacher and minister has ever achieved the only “right” education for children.

The human nature shouldn’t be eliminated from any being
and nothing of its elements should be held higher than anything.
The difference of human makes themselves unique and shouldn’t be held as an identity.
The de-difference makes human in general as an enough mature being.

258 Decoding Utopia

[image: self]

Every religion has their own version of Utopia, except Buddha with its promise to end its reincarnation cycle. Islam and Christian Utopia has a similarity in the goal, a good & holy place without any sin. But how the society can’t ever found a problem in its cycle. Every problems are created by individual and social interaction. Men has tried to manage this problem since the beginning of their ages, from imperialism, socialism, liberalism, even the most totalitarian system to every individualism created another problem. Religion use a totalism ideology, as you can see today and from history, it can’t answer to all society problem fairly. In my point of view, the idea of heaven seems vague. Even if a utopia filled with unlimited resources, the social interaction & the difference of each individual create problems.
The Catholics believe in purification of souls in purgatory concept, but isn’t it as same as making a new human as pure as the day he/she born, without the beauty of knowledge and thinking. Even the communist did that. It’s the elimination of human nature that makes human unique, isn’t it going back to the fear of emptiness that we’ve feared since the first time…

254 The Humanist

I do think god is cruel.
He sent a choosen people to define the path to heaven.
Through his massive power in society,
he could persuade people & break the unity of the society.
Creating hell on earth & fake utopia up ahead.
Bashing the homo in blessing from their fags loving god.
Damning the humanist as the cause of all evil.
Exploiting the society in the name of holy cause.
Each religion created their own version of Hitler as the son of God.

252 Less Enough More

Less Enough More is my simplicity principle in art and design. But more than that, it’s also my way of life and ideology. As I don’t believe in “good and bad” method of judgement, it’s too medieval way of living for me. I believe in reasoning in order to find the balance between the less and the more, or mature the mind so we can find the centre between the Left and the Right. A little bit buddish, but I am not a believer of any religion.

242 Lowest Instinct

Joseph Goebbels was exploiting the lowest instinct of German people, which are racism, xenophobia, class envy & security. He used these elements in his powerful propaganda. As a humanist Indonesian I experienced the suffering effect from the propaganda inside the country. All of the propaganda plays in religious field, it’s as effective as Nazi propaganda, they have some good oratories and the mayority of people follow religion blindy since the ancient age. The religious party alliance once crushed the indonesian communist only because of its atheism nature. So, that is the Indonesians’ lowest instinct.

235 Marxist Humanism Maturity

For liberal humanists such as Rousseau or Kant, the universal law of reason guided the way towards total emancipation from any kind of tyranny.

Such ideas did not go unchallenged. The young Karl Marx criticised the project of political emancipation (embodied in the form of human rights), asserting it to be symptomatic of the very dehumanisation it is supposed to oppose. Marx argued that because, under capitalism, egoistic individuals are constantly in conflict with one another, rights are needed to protect them from each other. True emancipation can only come through the establishment of communism, which abolishes all private property. While the mature Marx may have retained a belief in the inevitability of progress, he also became more forceful in his criticism of the concept of human rights as idealist or utopian. For the mature Marx, “humanity” is an unreal abstraction: because rights themselves are abstract, the justice and equality they protect is also abstract, permitting extreme inequalities in reality.
