Love is Blind

Do you agree that “Love is Blind”? If yes, why? If not, why?

That was our theme last week, as the last week of the month of Love, February.

The TTM, Lia, called many of the members to come to the front and speak about short topics. For example:

“Have you experienced one-sided love?”

“Which one is you in love, passive or aggressive?”

“Does age difference matter in love?”

The questions created strong reactions. As in: lots of laughter, embarrassment, and shocking statements.

We had Nita who delivered her BM3 titled “Love Life”. At first we all thought she’s going to tell about her love life. But apparently, she said we should love our lives, so life will love us back. She told us about visiting the Badui tribe two weeks ago.  They lead a fascinating traditional life of the tribe, who lives without technology like hundreds of years ago.

They could live in harmony with nature and have a peaceful life without smartphones or TV, but they are happy and love their village very much. If we all could live so simply, it would be great. Nita was energized with this journey and felt a lot happier. Travelling is indeed one of the best ways to color our days!

Our second speaker was imported from Diebold Toastmasters Club. Her name is Fitri, and her title was “Thank You Mama”. It’s a very touching speech about mother’s love. Without realizing, perhaps we feel annoyed with our mothers, but actually, she is always thinking about us, loving us without any condition. We are always their number one priority. The speech made us all think about our members. Let us show our love more to them.

Our third speaker was Ratih, who delivered her BM7. Research Your Topic. She spoke about Decision Making Analysis, using research method. The example that she gave made us able to relate well. It was of a guy “Anwar” who is researching for the best wife. Although her topic was serious, we could enjoy her speech because of the good example. The result: we understand it well. It’s a good job to convey a complicated matter in a fun way.
