I think I'm confuse

"Clinging to a concept confines you, ties you in a knot, and imprisons you."
I implement the above line to the below,
"All compounded things are impermanent."
The above quote is a concept. I shouldn't cling to the concept. It doesn't mean I must refuse, but rather I should examine it first, and keep be open to others.

If the "All things are impermanent" is true, then the "All things are impermanent" is impermanent, because it is a thing. Therefore, sometimes, it's permanent. Something that sometimes is impermanent and sometimes is permanent is impermanent. Therefore, "All things are impermanent" is the final result.

If the "All things are impermanent" is false, then "There is at least one thing is permanent".

...
I think I should sleep.

Hmm... something is wrong.

If the "All things are impermanent" is true, then I can say the "All things are impermanent" itself is impermanent, because it is a thing. Therefore, there will be time when there isn't "All things are impermanent".
This mean, even the "All things are impermanent" statement is impermanent (I'm not talking about right or wrong, true or false). And the final is still "All things are impermanent" is true.

If the "All things are impermanent" is false, then there is at least one thing is permanent. But the one thing doesn't have to be this "All things are impermanent".

I really have to sleep now. Trying hard not to disappoint you, I must write my final thought for this crazy post,
"The only thing that is permanent is, all thing is impermanent". I think it satisfied both condition.

Proverb - All's Well That Ends Well

Lately, I often say, "All's well that ends well". I don't remember where did I get that for the first time.
All’s well that ends well
Proverbial Meaning: All one’s pains and struggles during a difficult task are soon forgotten when the task is complete.

Literal Origins: Everything feels fine and good once it is finished.

Common Usage: This is a well-known proverb, perhaps more so for being the title of a Shakespeare play, and may be quoted at the completion of a difficult task or journey, accompanied by a sigh of relief.

I put this proverb here, to remember today, for I just experienced a very sigh of relief...

Poem - Bete!

Another one in Indonesian.
This poem was written long time ago. It was part of a story I wrote. I'll publish it now.

sinar mata mu,
memberi ku semangat tuk melalui hari-hari ku.
senyum kecil mu,
mengobati setiap luka hatiku.
gelak tawa mu,
mewarnai keindahan duniaku.
diri mu,
melengkapi diriku.

Poem - I'm a Devil of The Night

Sorry, this time in Indonesian.

I'm a devil of the night.

Tiap malam aku akan mengunjungi mu,
muncul di setiap mimpi-mimpi mu.
Jangan tatap mataku,
tidak perlu serahkan jiwa dan raga mu,
Aku hanya perlu hatimu.

Never give up! ... stubborn

Two in a row! THIS is a new record! Hehe...

A guy want-it-so-bad to be part of a famous company at his want-it-so-bad department. After sending his letters of applications to that famous company, the company sent him some of the damned nicest go-to-hell letters he has ever gotten. No he is kidding, he meant it had been just "we have carefully reviewed your application and presently we do not have any positions available which require your particular qualifications".

Since this guy is so positive,
But remember, the brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.
Now my turn,
If you are the one (the one who the most want-it-so-bad), show it, and you will get what you want. And finally you get it. You will be very satisfied.
How can you know you are the one? What if there is other people who want it more badly than you?

My answer is, who is the most want-it-so-bad is not judge or conclude at the start of the competition. The process is counted, calculated, and accumulated.
