Pretty hair dude and “liberal” hippie girl
“How would you feel if you’ve done something wrong that was not the usual you, and then your name was tarnished and how would you clear your name out of it?”
“Have you apologized to the respective people?”
“Well, yes, you know, even if you apologize, that name, that stain will still remain. It tarnished my image, that I hate it when people think of me differently”
“I know what you’re talking about”
“So what would you do?”
“I don’t know, I don’t care of whatever they think of me. I’ve done many things wrong that I don’t care anymore”
“Egh?”
“What I mean is, I know what I am, I’m aware of what I’ve done, and I know the consequences, so what other people think won’t really amount as much”
“What you’re gonna do then?”
“You’ve got to move on”
“I can’t. You know when you get this feeling when you’ve done something wrong, and you’ve done everything possible to repair the damage, but still you won’t get that satisfaction.”
“You know what, I’m not being self-centered or anything, but I’ve learned not to satisfy everyone around me. That I must content myself first. Pleasing people just isn’t what I do.”
“That’s an advantage you have. But you know, I’ve been afraid, my whole life, I’ve been trying hard not to, you know, hurt people’s feelings, especially people like them. Call me ‘skema’ if you like, but, I’m afraid that one day, if I’ve done something wrong, it will come back and haunt me”
“You mean berkat la?”
“Yeah”
“Truthfully, I don’t really believe in this whole ‘berkat’ thing”
“You’re too liberal”
“What do you mean by liberal?”
“You know, by putting aside religion first”
“I’m being rational. I believe what everything that happens is a matter of personal choice. I mean, if you get bad marks, it’s because you didn’t really do your best. I go late to school as a matter of choice”
“But don’t you think that it’s actually real. If you do something good right now, maybe you’d get a reward for it in the end. Maybe not instantly, but it will come.”
“You mean karma?”
“See, you have to look it in a different way. I’m not saying your wrong, being rational isn’t wrong; I accept your opinion but you’d have to look it from a different perspective too. From a religious point of view”
“I know, but I see that as an option, I mean people like to attribute that if they happen to have misfortune, they’d say it was because they did something bad in the past, but to me, that’s just being ridiculous. Those events aren’t even connected. I don’t know, I really don’t, about all this subtle things. Perhaps at some extent it might be true, but, you know, people just want to explain things in their own way like saying all that without really, knowing the exact cause.
“Again, you’re too liberal”
“I’m not”

i'm not to argue here. I'm tired of it. It's not that i need proof, it's basically senseless to prove something that can't be proved. Say you fought and exchanged foul words with your teacher, and she said right infront of you that you won't be \”berkat\”-ed in your studies, but in the end, everything worked out fine, and when something really bad does happen to you, after a series of successes, you would go back and think oh \”that's because of what i did to her\”, when in fact it's really your own fault and not some \”effect\” from her \”curse\”. I mean, people only want to turn to the unknown and say \”it's meant to be that way\” rather than identifying the real cause at hand. That's what i'm saying about not being fatalistic. this being said it doesn't mean that by doing evil you can always get away with it. I mean, if you can, then good for you. But you'd carry guilt. Guilt bring to anxiety, hence bring to the whole \”not so tenteram\” thing people would attribute to the whole people's blessing. It's different, you know. It really is.Okay, I should stop.
