Masalahnya, kita tidak pernah dalam posisi mereka, kan? Tidak pernah dalam posisi orang-orang yang dicemburui. Percaya nggak, terkadang mending kita dalam posisi yang mencemburui dibanding sebaliknya. Kita aja yang nggak pernah tahu. Anyway, dengan nggak tahu, nggak mesti kita merasa kehidupan mereka lebih oke, kan? ↗

It didn't matter that the story had begun, because kathakali discovered long ago that the secret of the Great Stories is that they have no secrets. The Great Stories are the ones you have heard and want to hear again. The ones that you can enter anywhere and inhabit comfortably. They don't decieve with thrills and trick endings. They don't surprise you with the unforeseen. They are as familiar as the house you live in. Or the smell of your lover's skin. You know how the end, yet you listen as though you don't. In the way that although you know that one day you will die, you live as though you won't. In the Great Stories you know who lives, who dies, who finds love, and who doesn't. And yet you want to know again. ↗

Our world is moving so fast and we are apt to miss so much of what is happening "right now." If we can put down our smart phones for one moment and be present to what is around us, I believe these incidental meetings and strangers who come into our lives can give us unexpected fortitude, perspective and even wisdom just when we need them the most - if we are just awake, aware and open to these new insights. ↗
