Transition

I have never thrived very well on change. And since change is an essential ingredient in life--terutama jika anda menikah dengan seorang perempuam Indonesia--I have not done a whole lot of thriving. One is inclined to live according to what he has been taught and to what he has observed from the earliest times. Unwittingly, we mimic our fathers and our grandfathers, entering into their unfinished struggles, investing our own livelihood in foregone conclusions. To break the mold is to challenge a longstanding law scarcely divisible from ones own anatomy. Freedom arrives only through unconditional surrender--to this one must become absolutely captive.
