When I describe what I do, I usually use the metaphor of a bridge. I see myself as a sort of translator. Whether I’m talking about love and relationships, racial discrimination, or writing film analysis, I see myself as someone trying to ferry people from one side of the river bank to the other. To get people living on opposite sides of the river to meet in the middle. People who speak different languages to understand each other.

Recently, I met a guy who mentioned, almost in passing, that the highest form of knowledge is self-knowledge. He was speaking in the context of books and films -- about cultural creations that stayed with him.

“The ones I think of the most,” he said, “are the ones that helped me discover something about myself.”

A few years ago, I was describing to a friend what my relationship was like with the person I was dating at the time.

“I’m like her Atom,” I said. “I think that’s why she enjoys spending time with me, because she enjoys hearing herself talk”

Atom, of course, is the sparring bot from the 2001 robot boxing movie Real Steel:

"His name is Atom,” says Charlie’s son, 11-year old Max. “Can we get him a fight?

“I don't think he was ever a boxing robot,” Charlie, played by Hugh Jackson, replies.

"He's a G2, built in early 2014,” says Charlie’s friend/love-interest Bailey, played by Evangeline Lilly. “He's a sparring bot.”

"They must have built robots like this one that could mirror the fighting style of any other robot.”

"Okay, so can we get him a fight?”, Max asks.

"Are you not listening?” says Charlie, “He's a sparring bot. Built to take a lot of hits, but never dishing out any real punishment.”

And that’s exactly how I felt in that relationship. Like I was her intellectual sparring partner. I was the person asking her questions that were making her think, questions that were making her talk, a lot -- while I myself wasn’t doing much talking at all.

Although I never asked her directly, I suppose it wouldn’t be inaccurate to say that that time we spent together was for her a time of self-discovery. In a way, I suppose, it was for me as well. I mean, if nothing else, I discovered that I don’t really want to be anyone’s Atom.

But what I still want to do is help people learn something about themselves through my writing, through my films, and through my relationships. As we look at each other from across the table over dinner, I picture the two of us taking turns talking and listening, each, in equal measure.

Mengelola Fitrah Cinta . Rasa cinta adalah anugerah dan fitrah setiap manusia. Fitrah itu terus dibawa sepanjang hidup dan hendaknya dijaga dengan sebaik-baiknya. Cara-cara penjagaan dan pelampiasan cinta harus sesuai dengan tuntunan syariat. . Cinta yang telah diberikan oleh Allah dijaga dengan senantiasa mendekatkan diri kepada Allah. Cinta yang hakiki adalah cinta kepada Allah. Jangan sampai cinta kita kepada makhluk mengalahkan cinta kita kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya. Kalaupun kita mencintai makhluk, hendaknya kita landaskan cinta tersebut kepada Allah. . Sedangkan satu-satunya cara halal melampiaskan cinta kepada lawan jenis adalah melalui pernikahan. Ikatan janji suci melalui akad dan hadirnya wali serta saksi adalah kunci kebahagiaan bila ingin mereguk keberkahan cinta yang dianugerahkan Sang Pencipta. . Bila dirimu pernah jatuh cinta pada orang yang salah pada awalnya, tidaklah mengapa. Itu berarti kamu diberi kesempatan untuk menyecap kesabaran lebih mendalam. Ingatlah bahwa selalu ada pembelajaran di setiap rasa sakit yang dirasakan. . Terkadang cara Allah menjaga kita dari cinta yang salah adalah dengan mengalihkan fokus kita kepada hal-hal yang sesuai dengan aturan-Nya. Mungkin saja, kita tiba-tiba ingin mengikuti kajian pra-nikah. Bisa juga kita bergabung ke dalam grup hijrah yang marak akhir-akhir ini. Hingga pada akhirnya, kautahu bahwa selama ini yang dilakukan belum sesuai dengan jalan yang diinginkan oleh Allah. Kesadaran dan penyesalan atas segala hal yang pernah terjadi menjadi pecut untuk berubah menuju yang lebih baik. Selalu ada kesempatan untuk berubah selagi ada kemauan keras untuk berubah. . Kunci menjaga cinta selanjutnya adalah terus beramal saleh dan menjauhi kemaksiatan. Amal saleh menghadirkan ketenangan jiwa. Sedangkan kemaksiatan membuat hatimu resah sepanjang hidup. Dengan memperbanyak amal saleh, insyaAllah cinta Allah semakin terasa menenangkan. Energi cinta itu akan terpancar menjadi kesalehan sosial yang dirasakan banyak orang di sekitar kita. Cinta tersebut pada akhirnya tidak hanya kita nikmati seorang diri. . #day104 of #365 #14042019 #aboutlove #latepost (di MAN 2 Kota Malang) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwpJfKBgz8g/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mm59uq6w0ny4

오랜만에 호주 소식을 들었다. 나는 그동안 원망이 컸기 때문에 그 사람들이 불행해지기를 바랐는데, 막상 그렇다는 이야기를 전해들으니 마냥 기쁘지가 않았다. 오히려 안타깝고 미안하고 속상했다. 바보같이 또 착한 생각을 하는 내가 답답했지만 그래도 난 그런 마음이었다. 

호주 유학 후 이민 지역을 애들레이드로 고려하고 있다. 그 전에는 다윈주였다. 그 얘기를 주위에 하니 다윈은 추천하지 않는다고 말해서 접었다. 다시 시드니 리드컴 생활을 꿈꿨다. 아는 사람들도 있고 생활은 익숙하니까. 근데 접었다. 첫째는 비자를 얻기 위해서는 애들레이드가 내 유학과 이민에는 훨씬 적합한 곳이라서, 둘째는 시드니에서 살면 사람에 치여서 또 흔들리고 있는 내 모습이 보여서. 그렇게 인간관계가 좁았었는데 돌아가면 머리 아플 일들은 어쩜 그렇게 산더미인지. 사사로운 감정에 휩쓸려 이성적인 판단을 하지 못하는 건 더 이상 반복하고 싶지 않다. 그래서 애들레이드를 자세히 알아보게 된다. 그 곳에서는 다시 인간관계를 시작하고 내가 천천히 살펴본다면 똑같은 실수는 반복되지 않을 수 있으니까. 적어도 이미 맺어진 관계보다는 수월하겠지. 

영주권을 획득하고 나면 그 때나 되서 다시 시드니로, 리드컴으로 돌아가고 싶다. 많은 것을 일군 후에 돌아가고 싶은, 호주에서 고향같은 곳이랄까. 한국에서는 타지 생활하면 기댈 곳이 부산인 것처럼. 호주에서는 애들레이드라는 곳에서 타지생활을 하지만 나는 리드컴으로 돌아갈 것이라는 마음을 가지고 지내야지.

그 때가 되면 원망도, 미안함도 세월에 덮혀 웃으면서 스스로가 흔들리지 않으면서 잘 지낼 수 있지 않을까 바라본다.

“Ah, bu insan yüzleri!. Her şeyimizi bağladığımız, durmadan yanıldığımız. İstediğimiz kadar bol hasletler, adilikler, iyilikler, kötülükler, delilikler, akıllılıklar, sevdalar yüklediğimiz insan yüzleri! Yanılsak da zararı yok! Bu yüze olmazsa ötekisine yükleriz saydıklarımızı. Yanılmamız muayyen bir insan içindir, insanlar için değil. O halde yanılmıyor sayılırız.” #saitfaikabasıyanık #insan #14042019 #nisan #pazar #gününkahvesi #gününsözü #gününşiiri #şiir #kahvekeyfi #şiirsokakta #şiirheryerde #şiirstarbucksta #şiirhayattır #şiirdefteri #şiirduvarda #şiirlerdenparçalar #starbucks #coffeeart #starbuckscoffee #kadıköy #istanbul (Starbucks Türkiye) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwPPQO4FJQc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s9v51jh9vgba
