One, two,
three, four? How many semester exactly I didn’t write something free-spirit
like this? I already forget when the writing happened as well. Okay, then,
let’s just begin the writing. What is it about actually that already success on
bring me back to writing something like this?
A main theme
that I want to bring here is ‘family’. First, let’s make up the definition
briefly. In Oxford Dictionary, the fourth Edition (Oxford, 2008), family means
the people descended from the same ancestor, usually consist of parents and
children. This is the exact definition in this writing. I need to make
limitations of definition so no one will get the wrong idea about what we’re
discussing. Nowadays, people easily use the word ‘family’ for referring to
their own group that somehow has emotional bond such as working circles,
colleagues, classmates, gangs, etc. So, I need to throw this ‘another’
definition of family away, so we can understand the topic of the discussion
well.
Okay, then,
what happen with this ‘family’ word? Is there any problem so far?
I write this
because of two reasons. First, it is the phenomena that widely happen around me
since I was on my high school era until now. The phenomena softly showing me
that people from their teenagers to the next level of age had their activities
mostly outside the house (this is my own opinion so I don’t write a citation,
no matter if you’re not thinking so). Then, they’re begun to be apart from
their family and become closer to their companion and friends of outside the
house. As time passing by, their priority also changes. They prefer to go out
for dinner with their friends to be with their family at home, they prefer to
come to their friend’s birthday party instead of attending their family
relative’s wedding, they prefer to work hard outside at the institution until
late to just go home and see their families’ face. At the end, they take a good
photoshoot with their friends, upload it to their social media, and give a
caption saying that they’re his/her family. It happened, right?
Well, and then
someday, they’re get to the lowest point of their life, they have to face some
failures, or maybe some unjust, or some betrayal from their friends and
colleagues. At the time like that, the only place they can go is family. Right
inside the comfortable and warm house that they’re always left behind. Family
is the only one that doesn’t care about your failure, they’re the one that will
always smile at you no matter how poor, how mess, and how ugly you’re. just
don’t ask why, the family is the place where you’re born with nothing, it won’t
be upset when you have so little of something or even nothing, they’re not
expecting you to have so much in life, just expecting you to be fine.
The second
reason is a Korean Drama called “Moon Lovers, Scarlet Heart: Ryeo” that has
just broadcasted its last episode. The main idea that I got from this drama is
about hearts and feelings of family members towards another. Sometimes I really
in to the heart of them, understand why they’re doing such things, can relate
to their feelings, but sometimes I just can’t understand moreover accept the
way they act. It is so touching at some scenes for me.
Well, what the
drama is about?
It is about a
royal family consist of a king, some queens, princes and princesses. Palace is
their home. There’re family, rules, rivalry, passion, love, hate, and the
throne in it as well. Well, in this drama you can see some scenes that I don’t
get it just like a mom that throw away her own child to be adapted to another
family on purpose and with no regret even just once (it’s the most horrible
thing in the story), or about a brother that kill his own sibling just for the
throne. Then, there’re also some scene that I can relate to the feelings and fall
in to it deeply just like a big willing of a son to be noticed by his mom, a
big satisfy when got his dad’s trust and compliments, a thankful feeling for a
brother who placed his life to save his brother’s, a jealousy of a big brother
towards his younger sibling over the love from their parents, a secret fatherly
affection of a father king towards his son, the intentions of a mom who’s
always protecting their children, and such things that really get me in deeply.
So, here are
some points that I want to bring via this writing.
1. A
family, giving love unconditionally
2. Other
than family can bring you down, betray you, or even leaving you, but family
will always there to be your place to seek for protection
3. Every
family has their own way to express the affection and love towards the members
4. You
can go to work, make some magnificent output, or save the day, but don’t forget
to value your family more than anything because they will value you when you
have nothing.
5. There
might still be abnormal behavior on family just like a mom that doesn’t love
their children etc, but well it’s so heartbreaking, don’t get involved.
