A nameless entity...

... identifiable only by its relation to another entity, who is, unlike the former, named.

Hahaha, recently there have been a quite amusing phenomenon. Some 2006 students have started to call me "Kakaknya Anie", or "Anie's Big Brother".

Technically, calling me that wouldn't be wrong, because I do have a sister named Anie, who was enrolled in the same institute as mine in 2006. In the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, to be exact.

What I find a bit annoying with that nickname is that it implies that I am, as the title of this post says, a nameless entity identifiable only by my relation to another entity, in this case my sister. If someone is nameless, he is indistinguishable. If he is indistinguishable, others cannot observe whether or not he exists. In such case, according to some schools of philosophy, particularly materialism, I do not exist.

I ain't mad though - well, I might seem a bit crazy, but mad here means "angry", not "insane", hahaha! - but now I try to get to know my sister's friends. Obviously those who call me Anie's brother must know her, right? Hope that one day, all of them can call me by my real name or preferred nicknames. Arya and BL/Eru, respectively.

Besides, knowing a few 2006 chicks wouldn't hurt at all... Hahaha!
