Must There Be a Reason to Fall in Love?

Gambar
Love often strikes without warning, without a clear reason, and sometimes even without us realizing it. Have you ever found yourself wondering why you love someone? Then you might have thought, "Does loving someone always require a reason?" Some people might believe that love is something logical, that there must be a clear reason like physical attraction, personality, values, or a mutual understanding. Even so, according to psychologists like Robert Sternberg, love isn't always easily explained by logic. In his theory of the triangular theory of love, Sternberg suggests that love consists of three main components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. These can exist in various combinations, and sometimes we fall in love because of one or more of these elements without being able to fully explain why . Love can also be influenced by unexpected factors like hormones, social environment, or even the enjoyment of certain interactions. In Islam, falling in love is not ...

Pink and Female

Gambar
The Stereotype of a Feminine Color Why do many women like the color pink? And why is pink commonly connected with femininity? Pink is such a pretty color, isn't it? When you look at it, pink radiates softness and a pleasant warmth for many people. This color is often associated with elegant femininity and cheerfulness. Pink is actually a lighter shade derived from mixing white with red paint.  The reason many women may like pink is largely influenced by social and cultural associations that link pink with femininity. From a young age, many girls are introduced to pink through clothing, toys, and room decorations, reinforcing its association with female identity. Advertising and media also perpetuate these stereotypes, portraying pink as soft, elegant, and warm, qualities that appeal to many women. However, this doesn't mean that men can't or shouldn't like pink. There are no rules preventing men from liking pink.  Color preference is highly subjective and not tied to ge...

The Joy of Seeing Someone You Like

  Have you ever wondered why you feel happy when you meet someone you like? It feels as though you're receiving a delightful gift, doesn’t it?  This happens because your brain reacts immediately. One of these reactions involves the release of dopamine, often referred to as the "happiness hormone", dopamine provides a sense of satisfaction and joy.  Imagine it like the Inside Out movie, when you see someone you like, your brain reacts in a way similar to how Joy operates. Hormones like oxytocin and serotonin also play significant roles, much like how other emotions in Inside Out contribute. Oxytocin, known as the "love hormone," helps you feel closer and more connected to the person you like, similar to how Joy makes Riley feel connected to important people in her life. Serotonin regulates your mood, much like how Joy balances Riley when she faces difficult situations.  Emotionally, seeing someone you like often reminds you of positive memories and enjoyable expe...

Life is Fair

 Is Life Really Unfair? Have you wept over your life that you feel is unfair? Have you ever felt that the universe is not on your side?  You might often find yourself trapped in the thought that life is unfair. Difficulties, disappointments, and frustrations make you feel like the world is against you. But is life really unfair, or is it perhaps your perspective that is unfair?  We need to acknowledge that everyone faces different challenges. Some are tested by poverty, some by illness, and others by their physical conditions, while some seem to lead easier lives. However, if we look deeper, we will find that everyone, without exception, faces their own tests.  Life provides different opportunities and challenges to each person, and how we respond to them is what truly makes the difference. When we feel that life is unfair, it is often a reflection of our minds focusing on the negative aspects. Our minds tend to magnify things that don’t go as expected and ignor...

When You've Been Betrayed

Have you ever felt the sting of betrayal? There are countless ways to define betrayal: losing a friend, or the profound hurt when a partner cheats. It can feel as if your world is collapsing.  When you're betrayed, your heart feels shattered, as if the world suddenly crumbles. The pain isn't just about losing someone; it's also about losing the sense of security, trust, and hope you've built with them. The trust that once formed the foundation of your relationship collapses in an instant. Many even feel worthless because of this betrayal.  The feeling of betrayal is often accompanied by a storm of emotions such as anger, disappointment, sadness, and confusion. You try to understand the reasons behind their actions, seeking to know what went wrong and why this had to happen to you.  Then, a thought crosses your mind: Should I seek revenge? Or should I forgive? In moments of confusion, the temptation for revenge often arises. It feels like an irresistible urge to make the...

You Have to Love Yourself First, In Order to Let Someone Love You

Gambar
The Importance of Loving Yourself Loving yourself is not as easy as hating yourself, isn't it?  We hate ourselves more often than we love ourselves, loving ourselves is sometimes not as easy as it is sounds. Indeed, we may face some obstacles when we think about loving ourselves. For example, sometimes we compare ourselves with others. But hey! Do you know the quote that says,  "Do not compare yourself to others. Be like the sun and the moon, and shine when it's your time"?  It means that even the sun and the moon have their own time to shine. So, start believing that the path of every human being varies. Ok, so why do you think Self-Love is so Important?  As far as I’m concerned, self-love is the foundation for helping people stand up for themselves, pursue their dreams, feel proud of what they have achieved, and establish healthy relationships with others.  Self-love is a way to love ourselves by accepting all the conditions within us.  A self-love phase,...

The Real Secret of Productivity

  What is Productivity? The meaning of productive for everyone is different, people in general, do not have the same routine every day, some feel that just reading one book is already productive or there are some who interpret it even more. let's find out! Most people define productivity as getting more things done in a shorter amount of time but that definition is kinda wrong, why? because if that's the way you think it can put too much emphasis on quantity and not enough on quality. One of my favorite quotes says: "Don't be busy, be productive". We can see that actually, the best way to define "productivity" is about getting the right things done not just about getting more things done. Productive Life or A Busy Life? There are several things that can distinguish between busy and productive people that we need to know: 1. Purpose Busy people tend to have no purpose. A busy person takes many steps to find the best for himself. While productive people ar...
