The Pyramid Of Life

"People are grouped into three stages in their life.. Most of them could only become 'Nobody', whom people could not prove that they ever existed.. Few of them could achieve the 'Existency', who will eventually forgotten by time.. And very little, probably only one in years, could find his 'Eternity', whose memories will never fade 'til the end of time.. That is the Pyramid of Life"
-B. A. Wirapati-
This post will look no different that the previous.. But I want to specified my second original philosophy.. I called it THE PYRAMID OF LIFE..
It's all about lifetime achievement.. In this world.. We, personally, choose what we want to be.. We have dreams.. We have goals.. The problem is.. Can we achieve it? The result of our work is our achievement.. It's all the same with our lifetime achievement.. Have we work very hard to achieve our dreams?
The achievement we made will determine what we become.. This will determine.. In which stage you are at.. I have explained the stages before.. But now.. I want to explained it in the pyramid's view..
The first stage is Nobody.. People at this stage could not prove that they ever exist in this world.. Only little know that they're live.. Most of people in this world start at this stage. live at this stage and die at this stage.. Coz they do not have any achievement.. They failed on their attempt to reach their dreams.. Or they choose to become Nobody, saying that they are incapable.. They are probably unknown by the world.. That's why I call them "The person that never was".. They existed but nobody knows..
The second stage is Existency.. People at this stage could prove his existency to the world.. But only during lifetime.. When they die.. Sooner or later.. People will forget about them.. They will fade away as the flow of time.. Only few of us could achieve this stage.. Coz it's not easy to achieve this stage.. We have to do something very big.. Something that could be seen by others.. What we need to achieve this stage is "The Proof of Existence"..
The last stage in life.. The final stage.. We can call it as Eternity.. People in this stage will never be forgotten by every single person in this world.. They maybe die.. But, their memories will never fade away.. Only ver little, probably one in years, that could achieve this.. Coz, achieving it might be impossible.. But, they were granted the Eternity coz they dare to face the inpossible.. It needs hrad work and dedication to achieve this stage.. The people at this stage are called "The Fadeless Memories"..
Can you see the pattern? Nobody is the stage where most people live and die.. Existency is the stage where only few could achieve.. And Eternity is the stage where least people could achieve.. The combination this stage creates a pyramid, where Nobody lies as the bottom, indicating that all people start at this stage, where Existency as the middle stage, and eternity lies on the top of the pyramid with little size indicating it is the stage where least people could achieve.. That is the pyramid of life..
It is our desicions whether we could achieve the eternity or stopped at the bottom stage.. Do we want to become only a Nobody? I believe that everybody wants to achieve at least the Existency.. Coz everybody wants to proof their existency.. But, most people who could achieve the existency stopped at this stage.. The do not want to continue coz they think the eternity is impossible to achieve..
So, everything depends on our own judgement..The stage we are at now is thestage that we wanted to be.. Whether we want to move forward is our desicions to make.. Think about it, guys.. DO you want to stop being nobody? Or you want to live as it is let the life decide what you will become? It's your choice..
Choose well..

The Three Stages in Life

Based on my previous post.. I conclude that there are three satges where people live in this world..
1. The Nobody (The Man that Never Was)
2. The Existency (The Proof of Existence)
3. The Eternity (The Fadeless Memories)

Those three are associated in one form which I called..

"The Pyramid of Life"

This is my 2nd original philosophy after the Eternal Smile.. I will explain about it later.. You can read about the pyramid very soon.. I want complete my thoughts in this case first before I post a blog about it..

At least.. I want to ask you to join me..
"Let's stop being NOBODY!"

The Fadeless Memories

It's been long time since the last time I post something in this blog.. This moment.. I want to talk about the last stage of life based on my thoughts.. The stage where people rarely reach.. It is..

---THE ETERNITY---
I had mentioned about it before long time ago..
"Eternity is not an illusion.. Human beings could reach it with totally hardworks and dedications.."

Yeah.. It is possible for us to reach this stage.. Some of you might call me insane when you read the statement.. But, we're not talking about "the non-dying person".. That is eternity is folklores, in myths and in fairytales..

But actually.. My eternity is "The condition where everybody in this world remember that you've ever live in this world without being forgotten until the end of time".. This is my concwpt of eternity..

Being remembered forever.. That's for the short meaning.. How can we be remembered forever? The eternity is the expansion stage of 'existency'.. In existency.. We talk about the proof of existence.. In this stage, we talk about 'The Fadeless Memories".. Unforgettable by the rest of the world.. That's the case..

So, to reach this stage.. First.. You have to reach the second stage first.. Let anyone know who you are.. Thus, you will reach the existency.. The game begins we everybody know who you are.. In existency.. You have done something very big so that everybody at the present knows about you.. In the eternity.. You must do something very great so that everybody at the present and the FUTURE knows and remembers you forever..

It can be done by inventing or discovering something very significant to the future of the world.. You can reach it by inventing new theory that build the civilizations.. Or you can reach it by conquer the whole world in one under your souvereignity.. The thing is.. What you've done should affect the civilizations at the present and future.. The significant differences between existency and eternity is that existency only consists of present things while the eternity is a global thing consists of present and future things..

One example of someone that have reached the stage of eternity based on my opinion is ALBERT EINSTEIN.. Do you remeber his concept of Relativity.. This concept born only with his calculations.. No one have ever proved that this theory is right.. But at least.. Everybody believes it.. This theory haven't got any Nobel Prizes.. But I believe.. If one day someone could prove the theory,, Albert Einstein will receive his 2nd Nobel Prize after the theory of Phoelectrics.. In this case.. His name will never be forgotten by every single people in this world.. He may have been dead long ago.. But, his thoughts is still living in this world..

That's it.. When you reach the stage of eternity.. You may have been dead phisically.. But the memories about you still live in the hearts of every human beings in this world.. You are dead.. But your thoughts have is still living forever.. You live in their hearts.. The people in this world.. And they will never forget about you.. Thus.. You live in eternity..

To reach this stage.. You need a total hardworks and dedications.. It is completely not easy.. But everybody could reach it.. In fact.. Not much people could reach this stage.. Thera are only little numbers of people who live in eternity.. They are the people who have create civilizations in this world through their hardworks and dedications..

So.. The last question is..
"Do want to be eternal?"
The answer from me is..
"It's your choice..."

The Proof of Existence

This is the next stage of life after being a ‘nobody’.. In this stage.. We have already prove our real existence to the world.. We have told the world that we once lived in this world..I believe that this stage is the goal for every human being.. No one likes to be nobody.. Everybody wants to prove themselves..

There are a lot of way to achieve this stage.. Everybody has their own way to achieve this stage.. In my opinion.. We can really achieve this stage when we do something to this world.. Something really big and significant.. Something that can open people eyes about our existence..

We can take examples from great men from the present.. People like the presidents of USA have prove their existence.. They can do something really significant to this world.. And their presence is worldwidely known.. Their existence have already been acknowledge by the people of the world..

Being a president of Indonesia does not mean that you have prove your existence to this world.. This is because Indonesia does not have enough power to influence the world just like USA can.. Not all countries pay attention when Indonesia change the president of Indonesia.. Some of they might even don’t know who’s Indonesia’s current president.. The presidents of small power country like Indonesia could not prove their existence uless they do something that shake this world just like president of Iran did when he claimed the development of nuclear technology to the world.. I must admit that our first president of Indonesia, Soekarno, is one of the president of Indonesia that can prove his existence to this world.. What he had done in his era had shaken this world..

Proving of our existence can be done by good thing or bad things.. The key is the things that you have done is significant to this world.. You can do terrorism to prove your existence.. Or you can become a fighter for poor people like Muhammad Yunus to prove your existence.. It is our choice to be chosen..

The range of existence is also the choice that we have to choose.. Do you just want to prove your existence only in your city or nation? Or do you want to prove to the world? It is your way of life..

The proof of existence is not always an eternal state.. The prove might be fade away someday after a long period of time.. Even if the proof is worldwidely known.. But, you can do something to make it longlasting or even everlasting.. Thus.. You can move to the next and last stage of life.. The stage is called ‘Eternity’..

The Philosophy of 'A Person that Never Was'

Well.. My sisters and some of my friends asked me why did I chose the titles ‘The Man that Never Was’ and ‘The Philosopher that Never Was’ for my blogs.. The phrase might be sounded absurd.. The phrase ‘The Person that Never Was’ itself means that This person was never really existed...

That’s it! I called myself ‘A Person that Never Was’. It’s not because I was never existed. But, I think that I don’t really exist in this world. Actually I am exist.. But I am not more than just a mere nobody.. I do not have any role in this world.. Well.. Imagine that we live in a ‘Role Playing Game’.. I am just an NPC or ‘Non-Playable Character’.. I am just a character that the role have no effect on the plot..

In this world.. I live as a human.. But, my existence does not mean a thing to this world.. Even if I die or continue living.. This world will not change too much.. I do not have role to play in this world.. I am just a ‘Non-Playable Character’ in this world..

But. It does not mean that I am not important.. It does not mean that I cannot do anything about it.. Actually.. ‘A Person that Never Was’ is a step of life for me.. There is a stage that was called ‘A Person that Never Was’.. I can do something to move forward to get away from this stage into the next stage of ‘The Proof of Existence’.. In this stage.. I become a true existence..

The blogs that I have is one of my way to prove my existence.. The Story that Was Never Told is my blog to tell the whole world about my life.. The story of my life.. I live in this world.. But my stories remain untold.. That makes me ‘The Man that Never Was’.. Not much knows that I was really existed.. When I die and those who know that I existed die.. The story of mine will be fade away and forgotten by time.. No one will know that I was once existed.. I remain as ‘Man that Never Was’.. I never really existed..

While The Philosophy that Was Never Taught is my blog to tell the world about my thoughts.. Thoughts about human life.. There is no proof that my thoughts is true.. I cannot even prove it.. That’s why I am still ‘A Philosopher that Never Was’.. I am not yet a real philospher.. Just an ordinary boy thinking about human life.. But, at least, these thoughts is my prove of existence.. That I once lived and thought.. This is my journey to be a real philosopher.. Until one day I can prove myself as a real philosopher.. I will remain as a philosopher that never was and my philosophy will be swallowed by the sands of time.. There will be no proof that I existed..

I don’t want to become a nobody.. I want to stop being a nobody.. Being a nobody means that I am ‘A Person that Never Was’.. I will move forward to my ‘Prove of Existence’.. So.. I can move to another stage in my life.. Move forward to my future..

Seen, but Unseen.. Part 2

This is the second part of the ‘Seen, but Unseem’ blog.. Last time we talked about weakness.. This time we talk about something else.. Something that really important for us.. The theme of this post is FRIENDSHIP.. Again, we will talk about true friend//

Like I’ve said before.. True friend is totally different with friend, the ordinary one.. With friends, you’ll have mutual interactions which will make you give something each other.. Importance is playing a great role there.. But, true friend doesn’t need mutual interactions... True friend doesn’t need importance to make his/her friend important..

We have problem to identify true friend.. We often identify true friends by looking at what they give to us.. The more they give us.. The more we thought he/she as a true friend.. That’s a false thinking.. True friend can’t be identified by what they give, but how they give..

Seen, but Unseen..

We smetimes falsely identified about true friend.. We falsely thought ordinary friend as ture friend, which worth of dying for.. We don’t know that true friend is in front of us, stand together with us, support us the best he/she can to help us stand.. We only saw those who give us more.. Not gove us the best he/she can..

Arrogance.. Again, it plays a great role to make us blind about true friend. We want to have great friends.. This might be our next basic dreams.. Friends that we can be proud of.. This makes us close our eyes with those who can only give us few.. We don’t want to know how best he/she give us.. We only care about the real action.. This is again a false thinking..Cuz, sometimes our true is not a great and perfect person.. But, at least he/she give the best he/she can with all of his/her capabilities.. That’s the true essence of true friends..

Your true friend is right there.. He/she lives with you with all the dreams and goals you have.. He/she may not give you much.. But, at least he/she gives you the best.. That’s much more important.. Only true friend will stay with you no matter what happen.. He/she will not easily betray you..

You really need true friend, cuz when everybody against you.. Only true friend will help you out of your trouble.. Realize it.. Your true friend is in front of you.. You have realize it and act the same as he/she does.. Cuz, true friend is the most valuable treasure in our life.. Take care of it..

Seen, but Unseen.. Part 1

Hey, guyz! This time I want to talk about a phrase called ‘Seen, but Unseen’.. I managed to realize the meaning of this phrase after reading a comic named ‘Yu-Gi-Oh!’..Well.. This can mean two things.. I divide this post into two blogs, explaining each meaning of this phrase.. This is the first part.. And the theme is WEAKNESS..

You may have heard about Weakness.. Everybody has weakness.. Weakness is a contradiction of strength.. While strength gives you advantages, weakness gives you disadvantages.. Sometimes your strength cpuld cover your weakness.. But also, sometimes your weakness may cover your strength which will make you as if you’re incapable of doing something..

What troubled humans is how to identified our weakness.. Now this is the focus of my post.. The biggest weakness that humans have is.. WEAKNESS OF IDENTIFYING OUR WEAKNESS..

We have problem with identifying our weakness.. Most of us can’t make weakness analysis properly.. When you ask someone about his/her weakness.. He/she will said it with his/her filtered version.. Even when someone ask him/herself about his/her weakness.. He/she will identify only the weaknesses which he/she can accept it..

Seen.. But Unseen..

The weaknesses are right in front of us.. They live in our mind.. They roam in our heart.. We know that the weaknesses are ours.. But.. We don’t want to admit it.. No.. Even more.. We do not want to accept it.. We turn our face against it.. Trying to ignore it as if it’s not there.. As if we don’t know about it..

Arrogance.. It is the factor that makes us ignore our weaknesses.. We want to be strong.. We want to achieve greatness.. It’s everybody’s basic dreams.. We don’t want to know that those dreams can’t be reached by us.. We don’t want to appear weak in front of other people.. We just thought that weakness is the obstacle of gettting strong.. Part of it is true.. But, weakness is not an obstacle if you take it in a right wrong.. Those who can realize their weaknesses and accept it are those who have great opportunity of becoming strong.. Cuz, by identifying our weaknesses.. We can try to fix it.. Just like optimizing strengths.. We have to minimize weaknesses..

The key of this problem is courage.. Most of us fear of weakness.. We don’t have to be scared.. Weakness is the one which have to fear us.. We have the power.. Use your courage to identify your weakness and your strengths to fix them, not just cover them..

Be not afraid of weakness.. You’re the one who make it unseen.. So, open your eyes..
It is there.. You just have to be brave to admit it.. Only by identifying it, you can become stronger.. Cuz, only those who can admit their weaknesses can optimize their strengths..
