When I was struck in my existential crisis and isolate myself from everyone I know including my family through offline and online. I was searching in this life, what it was for. I knew it was not for nothing even though we came from nothing. When I try to see this world as a journey or pilgrimage, where is the destination? My culture will say “Of course, it is the Heaven, where it is the real home for Humanity”. Yes, most people will never said don’t want to go there but the key to go there is death and death is not under our control. When the time comes we will just go. So what life is?
It is nothing but a play for us until we died. I love music, when I mean music is more like classic or modern orchestra music rather than mainstream song. Because the essence of the music is similar to life is, we play. To produce the great piece, all the musical instrument play with beautiful and harmony with each other. We play drum like it should be, we play flute not as trumpet. Every individual instrument play with true to the nature of musical instrument until it ends. Is it the sound same on each instrument? Of course not, but the harmony created from all musical instruments unlock the potential of the musical piece. That is where composer or leader came to function, to place the instrument and melody so justly and bring their potential to where he believes in ( I mean the music already exist in his head but we could not read his mind but instead trusting to him). After the play ended, is it the play good enough to upvote them in heaven class or they really bad and need to trash down to trash? It is not us to decide.
I believe the potential of humanity as how it portrayed in musical instrument earlier. By being true to ourselves and be just to who we are, the we could contribute our value to inspire and unlock the possibilities. Life is like a play even though it might rub certain religious point of view like some religions which offers reward and sin, to me it similar to carrot and stick manipulation. Here the things, some human are not capable to be inspired (yet) or still being primitive human, thus, that’s where manipulation play it’s function, but once you old enough, wise enough, you no longer bounded by manipulation but guided by the faith or inspiration or even love. Most of religious scriptures I read such as Quran, Bible and more have stories in it and that is where inspiration come from but only if you truly read it. So what is the “rule” or I could say what rhythm before we play this life? 1) Acknowledge ALLH, The Oneness or The Absolute Truth or whatever you might call that deserve it; 2) Be Humanly. Surprise me with what you are going to play.
