Freedom

Freedom, people think and talk about it for like too many years that I can’t even count. Sorry I am not good at counting.

Here is the question they want to answer: “What is free? What is mean to be free?”

Freedom is available to everyone, however, not everyone can own it. Some people own more freedom than some other. When I say that, I don’t mean some people deserve more freedom than some other. Some people own more freedom than some other because some people fight for more freedom for themselves, and some others don’t. The meaning of free is be able to do whatever you want. So, let me ask you one question. If you cannot do something, can you do it when you want to do it? No right? What’s that mean is you are the one who determine how much freedom you have. You much understand freedom is available to you, but for some freedom, you must fight for it, in order to get it.

Understanding, Knowledge, and Skills is what can lead to you the maximums freedom that is available to you. For those who is right-handed, you are not free to write with your left hand because you don’t have the skill for it. For those who is lefty, you are not free to write with your right hand for the same reason. Think about it, if you are ambidextrous you are free to write with both your hand. In other word, you are more free than those who only can write with their left or right hand. Yes, it is possible to be ambidextrous through training.

Believe or not, in order to master freedom, you much master every thing(knowledge and skills). Doesn’t matter how much they seem don’t go along with each other. Every thing is connect to each other in many ways. Once you are able to master all of those, you will be free to move between anything. You will have no limitation to do what a human can. Though you are still limited as a human. No one else can give you more freedom than you can.

That lead to the last question. So what happen when I do master every, and get my maximums freedom. Do I have the freedom to be not free? Can I choose between free and not free? Sense be able to choose what I want to do is what freedom really about. At this point, you much Understand that beside that you are only free within your maximums free, you also only free when you understand how to be not free. Otherwise you are just slaver to your own Knowledge and Skills. You much learn how to forget your skill completely when you don’t want to use them. Well, I never say it is easy. It is really hard for a hard worker to be lazy again. It is hard for people who draw really good to draw bad. However, it can be done. It is possible. You much understand why you make the choice to be free. Once you understand why, you are finally free.

But… What is beyond that, I don’t really know… It might or might not even be a thing beyond.

I don’t really know is this really important or not, but that is one of the question I ask myself once, and this is how far I get, and that is how similar and difference than the other’s definition.

Destiny

When people talk about Destiny, many people believe, they are able to control their own destiny, and many other believe they can’t. I think a little bit different. I believe in both. In other word, I also decline them both.


Note: By say Talents I meant: (Every thing we are gifted sense we born, including physically and mentally talents, and it even include the time, and place we live in. The Given that makes the very first us.)People often believe destiny is directly related to the talent they have. I agree with this in some degree because people tends to do things that they are good at. I really love writing but I am really bad at it, that is why I don’t write so much. I also love drawing, and I did draw a lot. As you can see, I love both of writing and drawing, but I draw more than I write because it is what I am good at. Whatever you do is a factor of your destiny. So, that makes sense that your talents are your destiny because destiny is what you did, what you do, and what you will be doing. As you know, everyone have a limited amount of talent. In other word you cannot control your destiny because your talent is limited and fixed. There are something that you can’t do in a very physical way. Just like you can’t give birth to a baby if you are a man. However, not much people in the world know their talent and their limitation. They are many thing they have never try, and if you never try something, you are not going to know you have talent on that or not. Destiny is not narrow one way. In fact, it is pretty open, there are many path you can go and many destination you can go. However, there are only so many destinations you are able to reach, and you cannot choose what destinations you can have. Some people have more destinations, and some other has less.


People who believe destiny is in their hand is brave and fool. Well only fool can be brave anyway, I mean if you are so sure about one thing (be wise,) you wouldn’t be so brave. If you realize, being fool is also a type of talent and because of this talent, your destination of destiny will have more variation. That is why sometime people believe destiny is in their hand can get what they want. It is because, their foolish or brave gives them more destinations they can go and one of them is the one they wanted.


Destiny is not much difference than a programming language, while you can do many difference thing in order to create what you want, but you can’t go beyond what is first given(Talents), and the syntax (Law of nature.) Though you are limited in some way, you are more than who you think you are in most case.

Planning to make a Live USB

Living outside of the windows is just so much better. This time, I am going to do something useful and interesting. As the title said, I am planning to install a Live Linux in a USB flash drive. Just in case that you don’t know what is a Live USB. Here, I will tell you little bit about it. Live USB is a very useful multi tool in term of computer usage. Imagine that you can install your very own desktop (OS) on your little handy USB flash drive, carry it around the world, and use it in almost any computer. Sounds cool isn’t it.

I have been thinking about this for a while, and actually tried it couple time without any success. Anyway~ Here is what I am going to do this time. I am going to make 2 Live USB, one with a basic Distro, and the other with a more advance Distro. The reason for that is because, I want to use one of them as a normal flash to transfer my daily data, so I am not going to give up too much space for the Live Linux. And the other one use as power computer multi tool. As the Liunx Distro be more powerful, it would take up more space. Both my flash drive are 8GB so even for that, I will still have a lot of space. (At least 4GB) If you ask why I have such huge flash drive. Go be come a digital photographer, and you will see why. hehe.
