Stupidity is a Crime, but Arrogance is Not

Pernah baca atau mendengar kalimat ini?

Knowledge is Power, but Character is More.

Kalimat di atas adalah motto dari SMU Negeri 3 Bandung.

Kontradiktif dengan pendapat β:

Stupidity is a Crime, but Arrogance is Not.

Kalau seorang manusia berkarakter baik, mungkin manusia ini tidak akan sombong atau arogan. β arogan. Jelas. Banget. Bangga. (dari premis ini jelas β bukan manusia berkarakter baik dan ideal menurut standar SMU 3 - f*ck it, β bukan anak SMU lagi, so I obviously don’t give a sh*t)

Secara empirik, kebodohan itu seringkali menyebabkan kerugian pada orang lain. Karena kebodohan, seringkali β jadi naik darah dan jelas β merasa rugi kalau harus membuang-buang waktu untuk memberi mutiara kepada babi. Jadi jelas sudah terbukti secara empirik.

No, seriously, kebodohan bisa merugikan secara material. Misalnya akibat kebodohan, seseorang merusak alat yang harganya mahal. Contoh lainnya: menghabis-habiskan dana untuk anggaran pendidikan, sedangkan mahasiswa yang dididik terlalu bodoh sehingga tidak lulus-lulus. β juga pernah menjadi mahasiswa yang terlalu bodoh ini. Jadi β juga pernah bersalah dalam konteks ini.

Menurut LaVeyan’s Satanism, Stupidity tercantum nomor satu pada daftar The Nine Satanic Sins. (β seorang deist, bukan seorang Satanist, hanya kebetulan mempelajari beberapa jenis aliran religius - termasuk Satanism - sebelum memilih deism)

Sekarang β jadi mahasiswa lagi. β berharap dengan menjadi seorang mahasiswa yang arogan, β akan malu kalau menjadi stupid dan harus lulus lama-lama. It’s some kind of self-motivating-method. Annoying to others, but I couldn’t care less.

1,5 tahun. Harga mati.

IPK 4,0: adalah bonus.

Arrogance tidak merugikan siapa-siapa, kecuali diri sendiri kok. Itu pun kalau manusia yang arogan ini sampai merasa rugi sendiri.

So what do you care anyway?

Did I hurt your pride?

So why bother?

You’re always welcome to try and disprove my arrogance.

How could I describe loneliness?

Loneliness is a beautiful feelings held

Loneliness is a cry in my chest that nobody would listen to

Loneliness is a drop of tear held on my eyes, when I’m confused because there’s no reason to find

Loneliness is a love against my own principles

Loneliness is a picture of you in my memory, when I need to concentrate on my works

Loneliness is an empty room in my house

Loneliness is breakfast

Loneliness is denial of your warmth, when I most needed it

Loneliness is everything that reminds me of you before my eyes

Loneliness is freezing cold wind that blows from within

Loneliness is going against logic and loving the wrong person

Loneliness is going with logic and not loving the right person

Loneliness is me avoiding your gaze

Loneliness is me being a hypocrite

Loneliness is me being a liar

Loneliness is me being dishonest

Loneliness is me being romantic and sweet

Loneliness is me being the wrong person

Loneliness is me caressing someone else’s woman

Loneliness is me compelled to write

Loneliness is me giving you no chance to choose

Loneliness is me holding principles that defines who I am

Loneliness is me knowing your true feelings and planning to kill it

Loneliness is me laying half naked with you and knowing it would end

Loneliness is me listening to gloomy songs of Nirvana

Loneliness is me listening to love songs

Loneliness is me loving you my own way

Loneliness is me missing our intimacy for the next two weeks.

Loneliness is me preparing to die alone

Loneliness is me reminiscing our times we had

Loneliness is me restraining from looking onto your picture

Loneliness is me sleeping with every girls

Loneliness is me trying to kill my own heart

Loneliness is me waiting for your message and having no desire to write first

Loneliness is me wanting you as a friend when I can’t be one

Loneliness is me wanting you to be happy but won’t be that happiness

Loneliness is me waving goodbye with a smile on my face and a pain in my heart

Loneliness is me wishing you happy on your marriage

Loneliness is me working hard day and night

Loneliness is me writing this instead of my proposal presentation

Loneliness is me, pitiful and despicable

Loneliness is my pride and my ego

Loneliness is pain in the stomach which no medicine could cure

Loneliness is pouring cold November rain

Loneliness is selfish me being unselfish

Loneliness is the future without you within

Loneliness is the path I took

Loneliness is the weight of your bracelet on my wrist
