Creative Writing

Creative Writing

    



    Writing is the process of making notes, information or stories. Writing is also a process of pouring creativity or ideas into written language, which is commonly called an essay. Because, the author expresses the contents of his thoughts, ideas, opinions or desires through writing. This is in line with the Creative Writing course, which is pouring whatever the author's thoughts or stories are into a blog site.

    Creative Writing familiarizes us as students to write and be published. Freedom in choosing a topic or title when writing is an easy way for students to write freely. Many shared personal experiences, shared writings about local customs or culture, provided a kind of introduction to something they liked and so on.

        We as writers and readers are very happy with the activities in this course, sharing what we like is very exciting. And reading the writings of friends is no less exciting than us writing, because we can see their personality from their point of view. Getting to know many things that we didn't know at all before is also one of the joys of Creative Writing.

    As a lecturer for this course, she gives us feedback or comments on each article. By giving this comment, it gives us enthusiasm in sharing or writing. Because we feel that our writing is valued, given a response and given praise.

    During one semester, the ten articles that we upload give us the experience of writing regularly every week. I myself am challenged and trained to make and do it as good and as attractive as possible. At least we have the experience of writing and posting it publicly, which I feel is something that not everyone has done. Hopefully with this activity, my friends including myself can start to be interested in writing and who knows, they can become professional writers.

Schadenfreude : Pleasure Derived by Someone From Another Person's Misfortune

Schadenfreude : Pleasure Derived by Someone From Another Person's Misfortune

 


According to a 2020 study published in Personality and Individual Differences, the feelings that arise at the expense of another person's suffering may simply be based on whether we like that person or not. In the study, researchers looked at reactions to test subjects who engaged in various gambling tasks in which they won, lost, or watched strangers play. The results showed that when the gambler was a stranger or a liked person, then all subjects showed empathy.

Sometimes we invite people to feel schadenfreude, for example when we start a new job and tell an anecdote about some disaster that befell us on the way to work, we want people to laugh at our suffering so they see us as less of a threat.

Everyone feels schadenfreude or a lack of empathy from time to time, we don't have to feel guilty about it. It's just human nature, so it's natural to feel that way. However, the next time we need to be excited when someone gets what comes their way, remember there's nothing wrong with feeling a little joy.

Mobile Legends is one of the most popular games in Indonesia and is played by various groups. MPL Mobile Legends is the main league or the highest Mobile Legends tournament organized by Moonton for its fans. In Indonesia alone, Mobile Legends Premier League (MPL) has advanced to Season 10 this week. The MPL ID tournament has been held since January 2018.

In the current season, there are 8 teams participating in this MPL event, namely ONIC Esports, RRQ Hoshi, EVOS Legends, Bigetron Alpha, Alter Ego, Geek Fam ID, Rebellion Zion, and Aura Fire.

With the development of MPL Indonesia and the enthusiasm of more and more fans, MPL has become the most advanced and lively esports league in Indonesia.

Pale Blue Dot

Pale Blue Dot
Earth captured on camera by Voyager 1 from thousands of kilometers away


The pale blue dot is the name for the appearance of planet Earth from a very far distance. Maybe we already know that there is a spaceship sent from earth called Voyager 1. Voyager 1 was sent to reach the limits of the solar system by carrying information about the cultures of the world and made in various languages. Before reaching the Pluto area, at the request of a scientist named Carl Sagan, Voyager 1's camera was pointed at Earth. The last photo of Earth sent by Voyager 1 was referred to by Carl Sagan as a "pale blue dot". The photo was taken on February 14, 1990.

And this is the most beautiful quote I have ever seen in my life, written by Carl Sagan:

“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena."
