Stranger

Assalamualaikum.

Hi strangers. It is already March. Rasanya baru je semalam aku lihat Januari. To be exact, I've only seen 2012 yesterday. A bit exaggerated but it's the truth nonetheless. Betul lah masa ni berlalu makin cepat bila kita tak pandang. Tapi bila kita pandang, rasa lambat. Kan?

Tak terlambat agaknya nak bicara pasal azam. Azam baru aku? Sama je macam tahun-tahun yang lepas. Tapi masih tak tercapai lagi. Jadi bawak ke depan dan ke depan dan ke depan. Sampai bila pun aku tak tahu.

And me? Well, 2013 had made me a different person. Well, to be honest, each years, I change into a different one. Those who say people never change are wrong. Look at yourself, I mean really look. You'll see what I mean. But of course, you will either change into one of only two things; good, or bad. But under those two things, there are lots of other things.

Aku ada terbaca re-tweet seseorang kat timeline aku, she said, "why are strangers kinder than people I've known for a long time." They're in my own words, since I'm not really good at remembering things I didn't pay close attention to. But close.

Back to the point, so, aku teringin nak reply tweet dia. Tapi aku tak kenal dia, so it would've been awkward. Tapi, aku jawab kat sinilah, bagi aku sebenarnya, kalau tengok closely ayat dia (in this case ayat aku tuh) korang akan nampak jawapannya, terang-terang dia bagi sendiri.

Amazing, the answer lies amidst the question.

Pada korang-korang yang minat philosophy, or just happen to love using your brain to think about the world, mesti korang akan tahu apa maksud aku. To those who don't, I suggest you think far away.... from the box.

To me, the fact that she thinks strangers are nicer (dari orang yang dia DAH kenal lama) is precisely the point. Maksudnya, perangai manusia akan keluar sikit demi sedikit makin lama kita kenal rapat dengan orang tu. Masa stranger, memang lah nampak kebaikan. Not saying that all strangers are bad or fake or whatever. I'm just saying, that maybe they're kinder because you don't know them. See what I mean?

If you feel somewhat offended by what I just said, please don't. I know that there are people out there who are genuinely good regardless of how long you've known them. But will they stay the same? That, I'm not quite sure. And that, is my point.

Well, that's pretty much all I have to say.

I.A
