I used to mainly drink canned beer.

Jakarta is the same..

In Indonesia..there seem to be so many places where bottlenecks happen..


You're driving along happily

Then suddenly you hit congestion..

You think there's been an accident..and drive slowly

But it's because of bottlenecks where 4 lanes become 2 lanes..and 2 lanes become 1 lane

This kind of thing happens often..


Traffic is already frustrating

But at bottleneck points, without any hesitation, everyone pushes their way in first..

So the bottleneck gets even worse..



I've been married to my wife for about 10 years now..


In the beginning, we fought a lot..

We lived for decades in different environments..with different values

Then suddenly one day we became husband and wife and started living together

So there were so many things that didn't match..from how to squeeze the toothpaste..


We still fight now..

But we don't seem to fight as powerfully(?) as before..

The reason is..


First, I think it's because we're aware that the kids are listening..

When parents fight, kids get tense, don't they..

So it became kind of an implicit agreement between us..


Second, I think we understand each other to some extent now..

When I do this, my wife really hates it..

And when my wife does something, I dislike it..

We started thinking like this

And I'm not sure if it's because we don't have the energy to fight anymore

But we seem to be making small compromises with each other..



I've been drinking since I was 17 years old..

If I count only the alcohol I've consumed, I could have bought several houses..


If I stacked up all the bottles of alcohol I've drunk, they might reach from Jakarta to our Korean home..

Even while seeing so many bottles like this..

How dumb humans are..

Only now am I beginning to understand what bottlenecks are..


My wife and I..

We grew up in different environments and certainly have different values..

But as we each tried to push forward first

We got stuck at the bottleneck..

And sometimes we even collided and fought..


If we just slowed down one beat to let the other person pass first, there would be no problem..

Really..

But this..

You only learn this by experiencing it..


I only knew how to hold the bottle by the neck and suck the alcohol

Who would have known that such a truth of life was hidden inside that neck..


How could someone as smart as me not have realized that..

I find myself thinking deeply about it..

Probably..

It's because I mainly drank beer from cans..

    [KR] 좋은 말씀이네요. 부부로 그렇게 성숙해지나봅니다..


    [EN] That's a good point. It seems couples mature like that.


    [ID] Itu perkataan yang bijaksana. Memang seperti itulah, sebagai pasangan suami istri, orang tumbuh dan menjadi matang.

    [KR] 일치월장님 글을 읽으면 정말 가끔은 소주한잔 기울이며 이런 저런 이야기를 나누면 역사책 한권은 나오겠다... 싶은 생각이 들 때가 많습니다. 배우 최수종씨의 이야기를 볼 때도 자주 반성하고는 했는데... 아직 저는 멀었나봐요. 서로가 다름을 이해하고 받아 들이는 과정이 필요한 아직은 신혼부부인가 봅니다. ㅎㅎㅎ


    [EN] When I read your writings, I often think that if we sat down over a glass of soju and shared various stories, we could fill an entire history book. When I see stories about actor Choi Soo-jong, I often reflect on myself... but it seems I still have a long way to go. It appears we're still newlyweds in the process of learning to understand and accept our differences. ㅎㅎㅎ


    [ID] Ketika membaca tulisan Anda, sering kali saya membayangkan berbagi segelas soju sambil mengobrol tentang berbagai hal - rasanya bisa menghasilkan sebuah buku sejarah. Perasaan itu sering muncul. Saat melihat kisah aktor Choi Soo-jong, saya juga sering merenungkan diri... tapi sepertinya saya masih jauh. Sepertinya kami masih pasangan muda yang membutuhkan proses untuk saling memahami dan menerima perbedaan. ㅎㅎㅎ
