I'm done

bener² hampa abis baca, perang hancurin semuanya, mereka yang diporaporandakan tanpa berkesempatan memilih bahkan bersuara

I finished 6 chapters out of a total of 10 chapters, the saddest part in chapter 5 the last line said 'law requires children to go to school, but there's no practical way to implement it', the most unfortunate thing is the injustice for girls, Matsue has to take care of her 2 younger siblings and do housechores after her mother passed away, even though the child is only in 5th grade.

The truth behind the fire was not cruelty, but an accident shaped by fear and small choices. Knowing this makes the story feel sadder, not lighter. It reminds me that damage does not always come from evil intentions, but from moments where care and responsibility fail to meet.

All About Love challenges the idea that love is just a feeling and presents it as a conscious practice rooted in responsibility and care. The book made me realize how often love is confused with control or comfort. In this way, it aligns with Paul McGee’s SUMO, as both emphasize personal responsibility and daily choices rather than passive hope.

The first twenty-five chapters of The Lost Library show how memory survives in small things. When history is erased, it lives on through empathy, quiet reading, and simple food shared again and again. Caring for what seems unimportant becomes a way to protect the truth.
