The Way of Relative Thinking


Q : "What is "relative"?"
A : "Uh, it's relative, it depends on the view that defines it.
The dialogue above is so simple, it's for the beginning mind-appetizer, yeah you're right, just like an appetizer in the food menu. It could at least describe to us that everything in this world is relative, even the meaning of that "relative" word is relative too. In my way of view relative is an uncertainty, every damn thing is dependant; depends on the way you see it, depends on the way you value it, depends on the which aspect you're talking about. So that's why there's nothing absolute, to be honest, even the value of the word "absolute" is relative too. 


Well, i'm a lover of the word "relative". I really love this word so that I found my own philosophized words : All adjectives are relative. So, the value of all adjectives are relative.
This relative way of thinking could affect you in many other things. 
Few simple examples : 


For a vegetarian, eating meats is not good, it means you are cruel to kill a living creature just to fill your appetite. For a vegetarian, you could just eat vegetables, or fruits. For a vegetarian, eating meats, whatever its reason, is harmful.

But then how could you say that in the wilderness of Africa? Most people in Africa depends on hunting to eat, and you tell them to stop eating meats? Nah for the Africans, eating meats isn't harmful, gods give the animal for human to use, to eat them too. And for them eating meats is a grace.



So which one is harmful? which one is the best method of eating?


Well once again i tell you, it's relative, it depends on how you think.


Well, here, let's take an example out of me.


When i sing, most people in my relatives say that my voice just like "kitty's voice", or my voice "hell-quaking", at the heart of it, they say my voice is bad! awful!


But wait, when i sing, most people in my school like it so much. They say i'm pretty good at singing, they say they could be my fans if they're allowed to. And they really enjoy every moment i sing.


So which one is right? Is my voice bad or good?


Got it? it depends, it depends on who you're, it depends on the way you think.


So, i'm not saying any single person or kind of people is wrong or bad, or anything else. I don't have the right to judge. But i just want you to know that we should be proud of ourselves, do what you like, and like what you do! If there's any people talking bad about you, you could just say, "It's relative, dude. That's what you think, but i think i'm good."
