Reading Must Continues

After I've read Karsa Untuk Bangsa book, i contionue my daily reading. Today my choice fall to Filosofi Teras that wrote by Henry Manampiring. This book i've read it in past and i testify that this book is one of great book you must read it. As have said by James Clear in his website under tittle "Reading Comprehension : How to Retain More of Every Book You Read", that good book is worthed for reading it twice. I put here completely what he have said in his article,

"Nassim Taleb sums things up with a rule for all readers: “A good book gets better at the second reading. A great book at the third. Any book not worth rereading isn’t worth reading.”

And in this case, my choice fall to Filosofi Teras book.

Filosofi Teras Teach Us : Up To Us and Not Up To Us and Making It as Way of Life

Filosofi Teras is taken from Filosofi Stoa, this kind of philosophy science. This philosopy teach us how we enjoy our life. In our era, especially in era that much slander, misinformation, distraction and another noises. This philosopy teach us one big teory and we can make it as way of our life : Up To Us and Not Up To Us.

In preface book section, Setyo Wibowo, one of Indonesian philosophy, said that Marcus Aurelius, as founder of this kind of philosophy, one day said that he have give advice to romawi legiun for acomplishing a war with negitiation, not by up sword each other. But, the reality is not under his control. Them, the Romawi Legiun, acomplished a problem with big war and need many blood for finishing this problem. 

Looking this reality, Marcus Aurelius take enjoy his life. He had said the true but them, their legiun, is under control. He awake that in this life there is what up to us and there is much things not up to us.

Up To Us and Not Up To Us referring to our attitude facing the life. With this principe, we must believe, in our own life there is what up to us, we can control it, we can determinte the way, and there is not up to us, we can control and determine it. 

For instance, what we can control it, what under up to us is our attitude to doing kindness and goodness to my neighbour, we can control my self and determinte what we want do, but, beside that, we dont have the reality what want other does to me, whether they do for us like we do to him, or no. We cant control it. Thats not up to us. And in this case we must dont worry about it. Common, we enjoy for facing it. Not all that happened in this world that under our control. Joyfull for missing out these under control things.
