About This Blog

BeautifyTheWorld.Blogspot.Com
What is it all about?


After many posts I’ve published at this blog, I think I have to refresh the philosophy which has been the driving spirit to go with. One of the results is the new header-banner above. You see, the banner has been changed for this reason. I made it more representative to describe the mission of this blog.


“Beauty” is to be the mean keyword followed by the word “world”. Behind the blog’s title there is a conception that the world should be more beautiful than it is now. Of course we have to believe that it is beautiful already! This belief enables us to recognize the present beauty now-here in our daily life. And it happens inherently in every action motivated by love to the ultimate beauty. Any action motivated by this kind of love then becomes an effort. That’s what I mean with the word “beautify”. It is an action. The experiences of this loving action would become the story to be shared to everyone else.

This blog is dedicated to any effort to make our world confortable to live in. The "world" here means a place where we live physically, but it could also mean anything correlated to our role by which we contribute most of our soul and body. Meanwhile, the verb "beautify" suggests us a touch of love as well as a touch of art in any action we can do for the goal.Let us explore any field arround us. What could we do with our creativities, activities, hobbies, etc. to make the dream of a better "place" come true?The result is beyond. But we believe, it reveals right now-here.

So, it’s all about love in its actions. Yes, it is!
Love is human. Art is also human. So is beauty. At least, it’s only human being who understands the meanings of them. We live in the world which is so human. Then the story is “all about making the world to be more human”!

What could we do to make this world a better place to live in? I could not make it alone... Big things come from the little ones.We can do simple actions to bear great effects upon our surroundings. So, why not to do a little beauty?

I am an Indonesian-Javanese (I’m sorry to mention it). There’s a Javanese traditional saying about how to run the role of living; it is as a vision and mission of man’s life: “Mamayu hayuning bawana, sepi ing pamrih rame ing gawe, narima ing pandum” – to take part of beautifying the world’s beauty, to go primarily for none of self-intention while working with others pro-actively, and to be grateful to the given role within the universe. It sounds so eastern culture point of view. However, it could be valuable interpretation and contribution to the living of the whole peoples on this planet earth.

How to be more human?

That’s the very question to answer. The real answers are beyond every single word we can say. They are in our actual life in relationship with other beings, our fellows, the nature, and of course The Creator of all beings.


This blog is just another heap of stories about human being. ***



Sincerely yours.
