Tom, Dick and Harry

Once upon a time, there are these three good friends;

Tom, Dick and Harry. <=click the link to get to know more about them!

They went to school together and they seems like such good friends. When they finished school, they went their own separate way. Time passed by, and now they're all grown up. They met again at a batch reunion party. They found and greeted each other.

"Hey there, Tom, Harry!", cried Dick "It's great seeing you guys here."

"Hey Dick!" Tom and Harry replied back. "Good to see you too!"

"What have you guys been up to?", asked Dick.

"Nothing much", said Harry. "I'm working for the government now. Doing a little "this" and "that" in for the ministers in the ministries. You're a minister too now right, Dick? So somehow, I'm actually working for you"

"Owh! I didn't realize that", replied Dick. "Got a lot of people working for me, can't actually recognize anyone. Hahaha.."

"I think you're being a little bit insensitive, Dick", Tom replied with his thought of the moment.

"Oh, come on! You know I'm just kidding right, Harry?" Dick asked Harry while patting Harry's back.

"Yes sir, you do! Hahaha.." Harry responded awkwardly  even though his expression shows that he is actually hurt by that remark.

"Dick is being like such a huge "dick", and Harry is such a "pussy"", Tom putting his thought alone in his head.

"Who are you working for, Tom? What's your line of duty?" Dick asked Tom.

Tom started thinking, "What should I tell these guys? And yeah, who do I work for? Can what I do be actually called working?"

"Tom?", Harry interrupting Tom train of thoughts.

"Oh. Yes. I haven't decided yet. So I just do a little bit of "this" and "that" just to keep my stomach filled just about enough.", responded Tom.

"Well, maybe we can help you figured out then.", said Harry. "Right Dick?"

"Sure!", claimed Dick. "You're a very smart guy. But you tend to think a lot. We need guys like you amongst us. Come work with me.", Dick offered.

"Can I pitched in too?", Harry interrupted.

"No you can't, Harry. You just don't fit the profile.", claimed Dick.

"Owh, ok then.", Harry replied, feeling down more than ever.

"I think it would not be preferable for me to work with you, Dick" replied Tom.

"Oh, come on Harry! Guys like you are rare this days.. Or any days." Dick responded.

"I'll think about it.", Tom responded back.

"You're always thinking Tom, and I know you're damn good at it. But now is the time to do "stuff".", said Dick.

"Time is irrelevant.", claimed Tom. "But I'll seek you when I have decided".

"Maybe you would prefer working with me. Got an opening in my department. It'll be like old times", said Harry.

"I'll think about it too, Harry. I'm sure it'll be fun." replied Tom.

"He won't want to be working with you and like you, Harry", claimed Dick. "He'll work with me for sure. Who doesn't want power and wealth?"

"I think I do not want that, Dick. At least not "that" much. And I also think that I do not want to work for some "dick" and have to suck it up every time like a "pussy", Harry. No offence.", responded Tom.

"Well look at the time", said Dick. "I'm running late. I'm such a busy man. Hahahaha.. Here's my card, Tom. Call me when you've stop thinking. See ya, guys!". So off he went somewhere only Dick knows.

"Why Dick said that I'm not fitting "the profile" Tom? Harry asked Tom. "I got good grades, good morality, and I'm such an obedient worker. At least that's what people keeps telling me. And my school grades are better than both of you. I work hard each and every time."

"You really wanna know what you have already know, Harry?" Tom replied.

"What do you mean by that? I don't know! I'd be like you or Dick if I know." answered Harry. "Please do tell me. Shed me some light on this matter."

"Oh well. Let me "show" it to you", Tom replied.

"You said that you do as you're told, you're hardworking and you're smart, right? And all that adds up to you becoming who you are right now, right? And then, Dick is being a total "dick" from the first time we know him till now and that's all adds up to him being your boss right?"

"Yes, and..?", Harry responded.

"You really are in denial aren't you?, said Tom.

"I still don't understand", Harry responded again.

Tom replied,

"I think that you will stay as you are until you prepare to accept what you already knows. So accept it. Until you have learn to accept, time is relevant for you, and so is everything else that is dependant on it."

 "You're not helping at all, Tom", said Harry.

"Only you can help yourself.. with GOD permission, of course!", Tom responded.

"Well, goodnight then. I've got lots of "dicks" to tends to tomorrow.", said Harry as he goes back to the place he familiarized to seek the comfort that can never be found.

"Thank GOD for keeping the states of the "dicks" and "pussies" as it is, for that is the way I can keep my belly filled sufficiently. No more, no less.", Tom thinking all alone.

Smartass

How can anyone decide this? Are you smart? Am I stupid? What is smart? Everybody is stupid? Why should anyone decide? Simple actually. I am going to tell you every last bit. Bear with me.

The reason for this labels is not because to show that you are actually smart or stupid. It's to group you in the society that you live in. You can never actually rank a person intelligence because you can never know what intel a person have. The more intel you have, the more you want to keep it for yourself right? To gain superiority among other people. And the more others don't know about you, the more afraid they will be. That's just plain human. We like to dictates people. We have the tendency to be a "dick" -tator. You, me and every living human on this tiny planet called earth.

Are you willing to call the "smart-ass" above just that or you would call him smart? He answers brilliantly in my opinion. But most people in my country would called it "loyar buruk" or simply what english speaking person would say, "smart-ass". Why he got an "F"? Because he did not comply with the standards that the society compels him to. Why with the standards? So that people can be ranked in the society? And who got the highest rank in the society? The people that never even have to undergoes the test itself. They just came into your life, tell you what to do, and do it for them. And they always say, "We care". Fuck that! The only things that people do actually, or to put it more precisely, can only do, is care about themselves. Seriously. We can not care about others more, or we will be dead. But even the people who opted death for others(martyr) actually cares about themselves more. They just don't want to face more problems living.

So, should you be "smart"? Get aces on all subjects, degree, phd? You should, if you want to always be dictated and stay at the bottom of the food chain. Or you can be the "dick" that took everything and keep convincing people that they care. So the option is actually goes like this;

Are you going to be a "dick" or a "pussy"?

Or are there more than that? Like I always said;

There is always more 

-Ammar Zufar 

You can opt to think, and do nothing. That's what all the thinkers do throughout the history. They always think and rambles about their opinions and knowledge(and do nothing), and the "pussies" have to learn everything about it, and the "dicks" always get what they want by manipulating these said "pussies". And you are going to stop reading because I'm being vulgar. Fuck that! They're just words and expression. And I'm just relaying my emotion. And that's art! Anyway, are you actually thinking that just because you are not "smart", you are stupid? Or are you the guy who thinks that you're too smart and everyone else is stupid? I don't care. But you should care if you want to continue living. And that's that. Just simply thinking doesn't make you smart, it'll just make you feel stupider. Because the more you think, the more you realize that there's more that you do not know. How can anybody be smart?

Till next time, salam.
