I never get into anything, because being into anything is inherently baduy.
Let me explain.
Take photography. I can take pictures. Want proof? Click here.
But if I started to take pictures for real, bought a big ass camera and started carrying humongous bags around (no offense to Wonder), then I would be baduy. (Sorry, Wonder.)
They say everything taken to an excess is bad for you. I say it's just plain baduy and should be avoided.
Like those people who know too much about a particular topic, say ballroom dancing. Having a general knowledge of the subject is cool. Makes you really smart and the star of any cocktail party conversation. But start naming the Father of Foxtrot and people will just get scared and leave you.
Being exceedingly good at anything or having anything in excess (even money -- think Donald Trump, Imelda Marcos) is baduy.
From surgery to stamp collection. Even kindness taken to Mother Teresa degrees is baduy. (I think M.Teresa's whole "God does not exist" phase (as recorded in her letters/journals) was her way of being cool.)
Think about it.
But not too much, otherwise you'll be baduy.
