Talking About Superpower: Teleport and Self-Division

I have always been wanting to have superpower annnnnndd it is teleport! This superpower is really useful. Say, you have a tight meeting schedule in different places, you can just finish one light heartedly before easily presenting yourself in other meeting! Especially in Jakarta (with traffic everywhere), this superpower is really really really suitable!

Or suppose you are a lazy person, waking up right before the time you set to see other people. With teleport, you can just get ready 5 minutes before and blarr!! You arrive.

Or suppose you have an appointment in one place, but due to force majeur conditions, you can not go from your current place (say, damaging demonstration -- yeah it happened to me), use your power and ta dahhh you arrive.

In fact, I am a slow moving person with sometimes hostile schedule that I need this power to help me manage everything (halhah). But there comes another problem: how if your schedule exactly in the same time??? Teleport can not solve it, then you need what so called self-division!

Personally, this superpower does not attract me like teleport, but somehow it helps you to allow yourself being in two different places at the same time. I have one big question related to this: are my divided self sharing one mind? I mean, suppose half of me is in office and the other half is in client, each experiences different activities, are they connected? If yes, how it could be? One mind can not share two different things at the same time! But if they don't, then how to reconcile it??

Suppose you have to work but you are still sleepy, and you need an hour to get into workplace, divide yourself would not help, because half of your mind is working while the other one still sleeping.

The difference is clear, right? Overall, teleport talks about being in same place (because it reduces space between places into zero) at different time, while self-division talks about being in different places at the same time.

If it is possible to have both of them, your life will be much much much easier. But for me personally, I will be glad to have teleport power hahahahha. I don't know who am I begging on. Oh God, You know that it is You!

A Tale of My Little Girl 6

The red stone may not be shining, but its existence darkened others around it.

The world was still the one before my little girl knew the stone. But now she had owned it for a moment and suddenly it was gone, she saw this world differently. Running out her tears, all she did was just sitting in the riverbank with her blank eyes, blank mind, missing what she had lost.

Practically, she was just starting life all over and she had a choice to pretend that the stone had never been hers before. Morning still gave its freshness and sun was still hot at noon. But the stone had once shone its light directly to her eyes, and just like any event of this, once it disappeared, she was temporary blind. The light in her mind was the stone that currently was somewhere out of her reach. The rest was only darkness.

This night when she closed her eyes, forcing herself to sleep, she saw the stone in her imagination. It was still shining, exactly like the girl had ever remembered. Finding her lovely stone in her memories, she chose to live it, not to open her eyes again.

A Tale of My Little Girl 5

This man held a little boy's hand. They came one morning, standing in front of my little girl's door right before she left the hut. After a long pause between three of them, together they walked to the riverbank and sat. My girl saw that even in when they are sitting, the man didn't release his hand from the boy's hand.

I don't really know how they communicated. The girl had never seen people until some times ago. Thus I believe that she also had no skill to talk to other people. But hey, they did communicate.

A Tale of My Little Girl 4

Days passed fast. Since the time my little girl found the red stone, it had been becoming the centre of her life. She put it in her pocket and carried it everywhere. Each about half an hour, she took the stone from its place just to see the sunshine it reflected. So this obsession had placed its root so deep in this girl's mind. Maybe for her, the stone itself had become a part of herself. She was really happy about her life and not a single thought crossed her mind that something could change.

Then everything started to change when that man came into her life.
