EYES&EARS - - d u a l i s m


when you see the headline,
EYES&EARS

it means that you'll be seeing some writing about things and stuff that i've observed lately.
they're the ones i SEE. they're the ones i HEAR about.
don't you worry. i guarantee it's not boring.
i can SPARK UP even the dullest subject.
bet your money on it ;)

well, let's talk about something that really really is fascinating to me .

DUALISM

unfamiliar?
does it seem like i'm trying to be smart? hehhe. well i'm not.
it really does amaze me. so. .

let's look that word up. i got the help of dictionary.com --thank youu. .
and chose 2 definition

du·al·ism
  1. The condition of being double; duality.
  2. Philosophy The view that the world consists of or is explicable as two fundamental entities, such as mind and matter.
  3. Psychology The view that the mind and body function separately, without interchange.
  4. Theology
    1. The concept that the world is ruled by the antagonistic forces of good and evil.
    2. The concept that humans have two basic natures, the physical and the spiritual.


dualism


noun


the doctrine that reality consists of two basic opposing elements, often taken to be mind and matter (or mind and body), or good and evil

from wikipedia indonesia :

Dualisme
adalah konsep filsafat yang menyatakan ada dua substansi. Dalam pandangan tentang hubungan antara jiwa dan raga, dualisme mengklaim bahwa fenomena mental adalah entitas non-fisik.


ok. so well, that seems so serious. i won't touch the subject of psychology or theology. it's not my expertise.

let's use the simplest one . .

dualism -- the condition of being double

ok, clarissa. why are you RAMBLING ON AND ON ABOUT THIS DUALISM THING ?


well. because . .

clarissa tracy priscilla dictionary :

i go to the LONDON SCHOOL OF PUBLIC RELATIONS di bilangan sudirman. you can say, it's THE part of the city. tall buildings, executives, well let's just say, if you need a photo that has Jakarta viewed as the glorified upbeat metropolitan country's capital, you can take it in the Sudirman area.

soo . . DUALISM ? ? ? ? ?


'kay.
dari perspective dan sudut pandang gw . .

* 3 ALPHARDS passing by side to side with penjual kacang rebus and bemo-bemo reyot. THAT'S DUALISM.

* everyday, i see the same beggar with skin infection on the LSPR bridge, and everyday i see hundreds of BLACKBERRY being used. . THAT'S DUALISM

*
showing off that Rp 600.000 TOPSHOP shirt and seeing a newspaper man trying to sell the day's paper for Rp 500 (noone bought it by the way) . . THAT'S DUALISM

* millions of dollars spent for election campaigns and people getting killed while getting their BLT money (Rp. 250.ooo/ family) . . THAT'S DUALISM

* complaining about other artist whose dance is too VULGAR while having plenty of wives . . THAT'S DUALISM

* jadi petinggirakyat tapi nggunain bahu jalan dengan *ngiung ngiung* cop bodyguards ketika macet . . THAT'S DUALISM


* putting thousands of posters of your "full of promises" face, *it's ugly by the way*, on the streets to get elected, and SLEEPING during meetings when you're already chosen, damn. YOU'RE A DAMN DUALIST.

i'm a student by day and a teacher by night,
* personal confession :
males2an blajar di kampus, tapi bete ngeliat murid males, I'M A DUALIST.


so.
what am i really saying?
i guess. DUALISM is not really unfamiliar for us. we see it everyday. maybe we are a dualist everyday.

INDONESIA, to me, is a dualistic country all on its own. *thoughtful smile*

i don't think it's either bad or good. no judgment here.

this blog is not meant to offend.
simply to share a girl's point of view.

you agree?
disagree?

pour it out.

oh ya miss I think I'm a dualist too
I have a "Promising" face but sometime I can't prove it
There's no any correlation between "Face" and "Brain", like you said haha ;)

Le Chat said...

great post. I'm a dualist too.
I think everybody is one, ho.
or maybe actually we all have more than two.

btw, the line: i'm a student by day and a teacher by night, sounds very dirrty especially when it was written by you.
lmfao.

@ ufan : well. i think your brain is promising, hon! but everyone has their OFF day. so, it's normal :) i think there is a CORRELATION though hehhe :)

@ ficun : thanks babe. haha. but i REALLY AM! i don't know how that's dirty at the beginning but then i picture it. . and you're right. damn you and your fondness of innuendos. lol. love ya!

nice post :D

btw, does dualism equal to persona or anima/animus??

mcspazatron said...

great..
plokplokplok

it's definitely me..
the dualist loves being duality

but how about multialism?

b l e s s e d said...

@ frisco : thanks, love. mm. anima. or persona. i think anima talks more about the soul and the things we do in a more unconscious level, what i meant in my blog was being a dualist, you are CONSCIOUS, and you KNOW, yet u still ARE. do u know what i mean? and persona, i think that's just more lenient to personality itself. .

@ harmon : :) i think everyone has a dualistic side inside, hun! :) but multialism. hmm. i tried to look it up and i haven't got a clue. is it a condition of being MORE than double? like multiple?
hmmph.

care to explain, harmon? nice insights btw :) thanks

i think this is your best by far.
they're all COMPLETELY TRUE.. and i COMPLETELY AGREE.
and you know why i can say that this is the best?? cuz you made me read it outloud to myself.. especially on that part, 'damn. you're a DUALIST.'
it's like im sayin it in front of their 'promising' faces. lol.
gosh, this is so unimportant.
but anywhoooo.... KEEP IT UP, mydear.
