Iwan Fals & The Bowl of Life

My friend said that Virgoan is the equilibrium of life. I cannot agree with the statement. For me, as a fellow Virgoan, we are the bowl of life. We stretch, or we have an idealism to stretch by catering what's going to be in the bowl. Thus, that's what make us different and a bit melancholic in certain sense.

My friend objected to my statement, if the Virgoan is the bowl, who holds everything in this world, then who is going to hold us as the bowl. I replied that the earth itself is the Virgoan supporter. Therefore, we tend to be so earthly, and it shapes our idealism on being nosy who's going to be in the bowl according to our own suit. We care on how our bowl is going to look like or to be perceived by others.

You'll meet many Virgoan who are bitchy or opinionated. It was simply originated from their perplexed view on how they discern their own bowl. They are afraid that wrong people or element will contaminate the bowl. Iwan Fals is a pure Virgoan. In his hey-day during the 80's, he delivered a big punch to the establishment from his words and lyrics. Many of them shared his belief as he gathered numerous followers. He is one of the greatest bowl owner. 

On the other hand, D.H. Lawrence shaped the world of literature with his view of humanity with their animal instinct against the rigidness of the Victorian age. No matter what, these Virgoans believe in the bowl they are shaping.

When the world that they shape meet most of the resistance, other will see that the bowl they created is an empty bowl with no one buying their bullshit. Well, sometime it was bullshit that they're creating in their bowl. It is those Virgoans who eliminate others who are different in their point of views or beliefs, while keep maintaining to gather more follower to their cause. In the end, these Virgoans if they fail to disseminate their belief, they'll be crushed. Those melancholic and deppressed state of Virgoan are descended from this state. Ivan IV (known as Ivan the Terrible) of Russian Empire had several outbreaks of mental illness. It was the temper that comes from his impulsiveness and often uncontrollable rage. Despite, it was him who enlarged the Russian empire and established the Tsardom.

But as a bowl of life, thinking to make everything in equilibrium perhaps it's inclusive in the nature of shaping the bowl. It could be a part of Virgoan idealism, wanting to see everything in justice or in the right balance.

Well, this is my narcissistic point of view of being a Virgo. You don't have to buy my bullshit, let alone buy a bowl other than to be used for your noodle or soup. 

But one thing for sure, Viva Iwan Fals!!!
