I had almost no chance to share any pictures for today until I saw that match that I got from my cousin this afternoon. Without thinking for a long time, I shot it, at close range. Well, it’s better than nothing.
Today, the second day in Yogya is indeed too many activities and meetings that must be done, both concerning work, social, and kinship. One interesting thing about all that, which is even related to the picture is that a match will definitely light up if it is swiped, but as people who have multiple intelligence, we don’t have to be reactive like matches. We can choose to be burned or not, or even change the energy produced from friction into a deeper understanding. If that’s what we do and we get, there will definitely be more smiles that we have, and of course, the breath that remains regular, smooth, and relieved.
Well, I think this is related to our emotional intelligence, our character, in responding to friction, and whether we tend to be pro-active or reactive.

Thank a lot, dear friend.
That’s okay…
My mom used to have a tin matchbox, and this post caused me to think about it. I must ask my mom if she still has it. Great post!
That’s interesting, LaJenna. Yes, ask your mother. I have collected many things in the past; tin matchbox, cigarette packs, coasters, stamps, coin, etc. Unfortunately, everything is gone.

I tend to be proactive as well. see it, do it
I am so sure that you are a proactive person, Pamela.
I think I’m proactive. I do not sit and wait, but I try to help or rescue as much as I can
I am so sure that you are a proactive person, dear friend.
I try to be proactive, I accept things from their positive side.
That’s great, Elena. The more we proactive the more we’ll become effective.
Friction seems like a negative in this context…
It can be really essential in others … like the brake system in bicycles …
I guess it depends, if that burning flame is filled with passion and motivates or if it lights up the darkness for a while… Fire doesn’t always just burn and destroy.
Very wise!
Actually, friction is neutral, but in this context, in a context where because of certain motive we seem to have no choice but to react, friction as the cause of the reaction is negative.
Also in the context of the reaction here, fire is anger that tends to be more destructive than constructive, whether for the burner or the burned one.
Yes, I see your point and agrees with it…
Anything done in anger usually doesn’t turns out too good
…and we have seen the evidence everywhere, right?
I do not know what kind of person I am … you know best of it…Pro-active or Reactive
Do you tend to maintain or repair? Do you facilitate the creation of opportunities or do you wait for opportunities?
I prefer to wait for the opportunity, dear friend
So you may not be reactive or proactive too, dear friend. You are water flowing.
And I hope this water will last for a long time, my dear friend
Water never runs out and will only follow the cycle, dear friend.
How would a sword gleam to perfection without friction? Friction, I think, is a requirement in this plane ?
Proactive. Passive. Reactive. Labels are good. ?
The sword was swiped to make it sharp but the sword would be dull and damaged every time it was being hit and bumped against each other.
All conditions are indeed needed and will remain in this plane, but the wiser someone is, the less they needed.
I agree. Friction resulted to overpopulation of humans too so maybe it should be tempered, just like anything, with passion and reason ??
Hmm… y?u remind me of a friend…
Now you are getting into a really fun area. It is a part of one of the issues of the internet. Given pressure (friction) the match ignites. There are many users of the internet with a little pressure ignite into flames.
In fact, in the beginnings of the internet, we called it Flaming someone.
Pressure impacts all of us, the pressure is what (friction) causes the sulfur in the match to heat and the remaining chemicals to burst into flames.
The sad thing is that it happens to people as well.
For me, the internet and people are the same, and I often think that in certain aspects, the interaction of people on the internet such as communication between people in the dark (or in a blind area) that only uses minimum identity or limited identification to talk to each other.
I would argue they are different but only from the perspective of if i ask for a page via the internet (h t t p hypertext transfer protocol) I get a returned web page. If I know the address i get the same page every time.
When I talk to people I often get different answers.
I did not dispute the argument, moreover, I was talking to an IT expert.
🙂 Merci
of course, you know what an expert is right?
Ex is someone with a past
Spert is a drip under pressure!
I also do not want things to be denied, moreover, it has made me smile…
The do you know what an expert is and when I get around to it (my father had a round button that said TOIT) were dad’s go to sayings!
It sounds like your father is a creative, humorous, and fun person.
I try not to be controlled by external factors. I’m not influenced by unpredictable events or the others’ negative emotions . Am I reactive or proactive?!?
Do you tend to maintain or repair?
Because you have confirmed that you are not affected by others’ negative emotions, then I’m sure that you also create and influence a conducive atmosphere, and prove you are pro-active high-quality.
I can not always mentain! Sometimes I need to repair!
Especially when it comes to health!?
I agree, given that there is nothing eternal on Earth, but you must have a tendency, right?
I try to be a positive person in a world of people telling me that the good days of doing what is right went out with the dinosaurs.
So, do you think dinosaurs are more emotionally intelligent and wiser than humans?
No. I have heard some people saying that good manners are no longer in existence these days. Rubbish.
That sounds like having a somewhat similar meaning in different words. lol
It is a saying that has been around for a long time.
I know, and that’s why I always try to talk about consciousness, as you always talk about goodness.
I like the way you write about the subconsciousness.
Wow! That is a very valuable appreciation and support. Thanks, Dee.
You are welcome Albert.
I am a simple person so have no feeling of jealousy, reaction or provocation etc. I do my work and move on. You did a nice job with this match box.
Thanks a lot, Suny.
Hmmm… People with principles and characters like you must be filled with joy and usually have no trouble jumping over obstacles.
I refuse to react to negative people. I do what I have to do. I hate friction.
It sounds like you are very firm and strong on principle
I make thing happen rather than waiting for it to happen. That’s why I consider myself proactive.
That’s wonderful, Sharon. You have good reason as your consideration, and I am very sure of that.
A wonderful article I train on proper breathing regularly and try to gain positive energy regardless of the negatives that walk around me until I achieve my goal??????????????
Thanks for the compliment.
That’s great, my friend. Do you meditate regularly?
A great photo for the challenge. I consider myself as proactive. I like to be prepared before something happens. Enjoy the rest of your trip and visit.
I am so glad for your comments on a number of things:
– for your compliment, and thank you
– because you consider yourself as pro-active coz it means you create and influence and not vice versa
– because I will go home later this evening. I miss family, but of course I will enjoy the rest of the time here, hopefully the activities don’t take much time.
You are welcome and thank you for your support. Enjoy the time home with your family.
