ROSE AND PIANO
“Working and making money are art but great business is the best art“ (Making money is an art, working is an art, and good business is the best art)
Andy Warhol
Based on the quotes above, I realize that life owns art which is expressed through human feelings and has an element of beauty in it. It can sometimes be conveyed through a media that is visible, and closely related in everyday life. Art arises because humans always want anything mesmerizing and beauty always creates happiness. For instance, in dressing, we shall match, be harmonious and be neat. Even we require entertainment, listening to music, refreshing, enjoying the beauty of nature, and no less important we also need to know that love is part of art .
As the title above “ROSE AND PIANO”, both are parts of art. Rose is one of my favorite flowers. It is beautiful and sweet-scented. Piano is a musical instrument which is played by the fingers. As a human being who loves art, one of the ways that I commit to materialize and preserve work of art is by making “BATIK” with a rose motif on the piano keys. Sometimes little things are able teach us lessons, such as from Rose and Piano we can also learn about life.
The beauty of this rose and piano turns out to have a hidden wisdom in it. You all know that roses have thorns. From the philosophy of the thorns on this rose not to hurt but to protect themselves. From the thorns of the rose we can learn to protect ourselves. We must be firm so as not to be easily underestimated. In life, we should not be afraid to be assertive, because assertiveness is important. Firmness does not mean rude but it is a way to protect oneself, protect the heart, and protect self-esteem, so as not to be disturbed by others. Of course, everyone has his own way of protecting himself.
The beauty of roses is also a symbol of love and affection. The meaning of this philosophy teaches us to give the best to the people who are valuable in our lives. Likewise, with rose planted anywhere, as long as it is being looked after well then it will look beautiful. It means that wherever we are, we must have commitments and principles in life. However, no matter how beautiful roses are, they will surely wither. This is the philosophy of the rose flower which teaches us that our living creatures will surely grow old and eventually meet the creator. This reminds us which the beauty that we get in this world is not eternal. While a piano is a musical instrument that is played with the fingers, beautiful music from the white and black keys of a piano. Each of the keys represents a meaning of life, the black keys represent the major tone which is interpreted to represent sadness and the white keys represent the minor tone representing joy or happiness.
Well ... to obtain a beautiful musical tone, you have to play and combine the two black and white keys. Likewise, life has keys, like the black and the white keys on a piano. Beautiful or not the piano of life, depends on how we play the keys in order to produce a beautiful and harmonious tone. Sometimes most of us only want white keys in life and reject the existence of black keys, in the other hand we only want to accept pleasure without feeling sad, so this piano of life will not feel beautiful without the presence of black keys.
Be grateful if we play the white and black keys in a song of life, so that our lives become beautiful and harmonious. If our lives are filled with good and bad experiences, sadness and happiness, this life will be more meaningful because of the various stories that adorn the paintings in the frame of our lives.
What I write was inspired by my life experiences. Life has an art that more or less resembles with the story of a rose and a piano which later will make us learn about the meaning of its beauty. And this is the reason why I chose the title of my essay about “rose and piano”. This is a real picture of my personal life experience which is full of the art of living. Sometimes sadness and disappointment come to my life, but I understand that life is like a piano, that is how to make ourselves better in life, depending on how to play the tune. From the rose I learned to be firm in everything and remember that worldly life is temporary, nothing lasts forever. Sometimes in life we can’t always have what we want because everything happens by His will. Believe that God has the best reasons for letting things happen and everything will be beautiful in its time.
