Messages from golden wedding anniversary

The wedding anniversary was historically derived from Roman Empire tradition, where a husband crown his wife with a silver wreath on their twenty-fifth anniversary, and a gold wreath on their fiftieth anniversary. In the present, generally, it is called the silver wedding anniversary for 25th years of marriage and the golden wedding anniversary for 50th years of marriage. Many people dream of their wedding will be lasting, but many of them also fail.

For those of you who dream of it, then there is a philosophical message from a modest golden wedding anniversary, a piece of dialog between MC (Master of Ceremonies) and the bride, as follows:

MC: (jokingly) "What is the most annoying thing from your husband?"
Bride: "As many as the stars in the sky, unable to count them."
MC: (shocked) "Well, but your husband's kindness is also abundant, right?"
Bride: "A little, like the sun in the sky."
MC: (curious) "Then how could you live with him for half a century and still love each other?"
Bride: "Because once the sun rises, all the stars in the sky become invisible."
MC: "Amazing!" (and standing applause from invited guests)"

Happy elderly couple.
That's the message. We let you conclude it.

      Well.. why do you need my prayer? :D

      For me marriage is an endless journey, full of adventure. So it must be enjoyed.

      Don't think too much about whether or not you will reach silver or gold or diamond anniversary. A number is just a number. It doesn't show anything.

      We don't get married because we want to make a record. If we are happy, then it is already an achievement, a huge one.

      "Why?" As a believer I think your prayer is important, don't you?
      Btw, I like your last sentence above, mate.

    I noticed that some of your posts are labeled "philosophy". Are you a philosofer?

HIV / AIDS - Shame Or Disease

The first known case of HIV in Indonesia was from a foreign tourist in Bali in 1987 and now has reached a level that is very concerned. According to State Minister of Development Planning / Chairperson of the National Development Planning Agency (Indonesian: Menteri Negara Perencanaan Pembangunan/Kepala Bappenas), Paskah Suzetta, in 2004, AIDS cases are only found in 16 provinces, but at the end of the year 2007 the same case was found in 32 provinces in Indonesia. There has been many studies on the obstacles in dealing with HIV disease. But in this post, I will see it from the viewpoint of social stigma in eastern culture. There is paradigm (in this case from my personal observation in Indonesia) that should be overcome particularly to the matters related to sexually transmitted disease, that is: Feel ashamed if infected by HIV because that was considered as venereal disease, therefore the sufferer tend to close himself. Feel ashamed to be considered as committing adultery. There is a...

The Essence Of Blogging

Previously... when I am browsing on the internet, I often faced with the passive site, which it only gave one-way communication. Read and finish, afterwards gone to other site (also read and finish). The only things that could be done was, click "Contact Us" and sent a message to the author. Then... emerge the messenger's technology, like mIRC, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Messenger, etc. (referred to "chatting"). Indeed this was the two-way communication, but still not enough to keep tons of our thought and idea permanently. Now... by using the service from Blogspot, Wordpress, TypePad, LiveJournal, Facebook, Twitter, etc. it create a cyberspace with more live and enjoy. Anyone could share their thoughts, idea, story, and interact with each other in manner of two-ways. Moreover there are those who wrote "Welcome to my home" in a blog. I feel like visiting my neighbor although they were very far from me. I thought cyberspace has been get up from the the si...

LGBT and Human Rights: Where Do We Draw the Line?

The existence of LGBT people in society is a fact. Legally, some countries legalize their status, while the majority of others still do not. What influences someone to become LGBT? There's a whole range of hypotheses, from the viewpoint of genetic, psychological, psychosocial, and personal experience. It is too long to write here, so please read it on the internet. The logical question is, who doesn't want to have a normal family (father, mother and biological children)? Sometimes I can understand that people who experience same-sex sexual desire are not their logical choice. LGBT people demand their rights using human rights arguments. Meanwhile, the majority use arguments that apply in society. Indeed, this is a complex phenomenon, like between liberals and conservatives. So, what is my view on this phenomenon? Well, I was born and raised in eastern culture, a religious society. But I tend to think moderately. Personal freedom of LGBT people in society to live and earn a livi...
