Disamperin aliran di Korea

Salah satu pengalaman yang gw dapatkan selama trip sebulan lamanya di Korea selama musim gugur ini adalah disamperin cult atau aliran tertentu. Jadi memang di Korea itu seperti jadi surga buat aliran-aliran agama baru tumbuh, mungkin udah pada pernah juga nonton dokumenter salah satu aliran gereja di Korea yang lumayan terkenal sesatnya. Gw gak tau kenapa pastinya banyak aliran-aliran baru atau aliran sesat muncul di Korea, ada beberapa hipotesis tapi ya masih hasil pemikiran gw aja. Dari jaman dulu sampe sekarang kayak masih gak berubah aja. Sebagai catatan, dulu salah satu aliran sesat sempat masuk ke lingkungan kampus tempat gw pertukaran pelajar di Korea. Di situ mereka emang nargetin mahasiswa asing. Modusnya adalah sebagai mahasiswa asing kita diajak volunteer, ada kelas bahasa, ada kunjungan ke panti jompo, dll.

Will I understand this post two weeks later? Let's see

Ola amiga I've been reflecting lately lol Recently I've seen situations where a known fact that the majority of people believe is not depicting the truth at all.  And it's not only one or two situations (but three, lol, no but seriously...a lot) Oftentimes, we can only see what's presented to us, what's easier to see, and we probably already form an opinion based on that, and it becomes easier to see the supporting evidence to the 'fact' that we 'believe', even though we try to find the truth from a nonbiased source or perspective. So when the real truth comes years later, it can become confusing for me to digest.  My conclusion was, maybe not to think deeply about things that happen around us. It's all just flying events and it doesn't matter what I think about it. But... I like to seek truth... so it's kind of an unavoidable thing to me, it will happen no matter what when you try to understand something, it's just part of the proces...
