All these things make me scared. What if I lose? Though I said I am strong but what if actually I am weak inside?
What if all these conditions gradually lead me to a permanent broken stage?
Kenyataannya, kita ga setangguh itu. Kita ga bisa melupakan kalau tetap terus berhubungan. Kalau mau melepaskan ya terpaksa, untuk sementara waktu harus berjauhan
Cycling a bike
You should have known that if you stop cycling you will fall unless you have prepared
But keep cycling when you know sea in front is an act of a fool
Know when to stop
Know when to continoue
days ago I had a conversation with Bara. I asked him about what he found after writing essay related to carbon emissions. Carbon emissions becomes first concern of them who focus on environment sustainability. I am not a part of them, I am not Greeta Thunberg who raise her voice and give her best effort for environmental cases but I care enough to a place where I live in.
It does good that business' students learn about Business ethics. It will be much better if they applied what they learned some day later they run business.
I always wonder what the relation of technology advance and environment sustainability is. when I was in Malang, people who called their selves as environment activist said that advance only creates damage for human being. i.e factory development of Semen Indonesia in Rembang was followed by a lot of protest. demonstration was done not only one or two. Television were enthusiastic to broadcast these actions.
I my self,
I agree that advance creates damages. Jer Basuki Mawa Beya. There is no free lunch. Think that damages is price we have to pay to savor sophistication. But I don't close my eyes that balmy pleasure from advance is not enjoyed by all of people. some layer of society have no hand to touch pleasures creates by advance. Their life are still left behind no matter how advanced technologies is. Poverty in this country is abundant like bacteria. so cosmopolitan. while Nia Ramadhani found herself unable to open her own door at home nor able to peel snake-fruit, others are suffering from hunger.
it is true.
we won't be able to make people live a same life in this world. impossible.
it is true.
inequality is not only mitos. it is real. I just think that inequality is something absolute in this earth. even more absolute than math. 2+2 is not only four, depend on what is the two. But inequality is always inequality no matter former, now, or then.
people are just able to decrease or increase it, but will never able to erase it no matter how hard they try. human may creates theories. Liberalism capitalism and else is ways expected to work. it works really but not a hundred percent.
of course it is not valid if I speak these things. but where is it wrong to express our thought?
Carbon Budget
"What did you find?"
"Carbon Budget." he answered
I didn't understand what carbon budget is. All I know is budget in my black pocket haha. Bara then sent me his essay. though it was a failed essay yet I think every writing worth a read. writing an essay should not be essay moreover if it is not written in our mother tongue.
Since I don't get a lot of touch with business then Kantianism, Virtue, and Utilitarianism is totally something new to me. part of their values is business ethics. and carbon emissions is part of business' ethics.
Do not need to explain what carbon budget is. but today, the idea of carbon budget seemingly preferable to be applied in business. in exception they who don't want to pay high cost for just non profitable things.
however, No Carbon No Advance. we have to make choice.
Poker Game
This part of discussion is best. This analogy is quiet good.
Business is like poker game. not only business, I think every part of life is also like a game. not only poker. there will always winner and loser. it is a must. there are only a few who can stand at the top and others are remain low in the valley, in the meadow, in a place km's away from the top.
a motivator once said, let's be on top together. But can we really do that? do they forget that top has no enough space to load all human being at once. The fact is, when there is a winner (on top) there is a loser (on valley). believe it or not, the fact is really like that.
Nor Business Nor Influencer Nor Politician Nor Us, we all need branding
I forget where Bara got this term from: Besides, implementing this view (paying high cost for environment care) could make the company get a good brand image and reputation.
but it good.
Last,
when we are an amateur, what kind of business should we take to start?
Mungkin satu hal yang harus aku lakukan sekarang adalah belajar untuk tidak mengikuti kata hatiku.
Seperti gas dan rem.
Aku tidak selalu menginjak gas di saat yang tepat. Tidak juga selalu menginjak rem di saat yang tepat.
Di satu waktu, gas yang aku injak membuatku sampai pada suatu tempat yang aku harapkan. Di waktu lain, karena terlalu terburu, gas yang aku injak membuatku terperosok di tepi jalan.
Lain waktu aku memilih untuk lebih bijak. Aku memfungsikan rem. Karena ada rem aku bisa berhenti dari hal* yang tidak aku inginkan. Tapi terkadang karena terlalu hati-hati, rem yang aku injak membuatku stagnan di satu tempat. Tidak ke mana-mana.
Akhirnya aku menyimpulkan, tidak boleh ada yang lebih dominan. Baik gas atau rem harus difungsikan pada waktunya masing*. Kita hanya perlu memilih dengan tepat.
Beberapa waktu terakhir rasanya aku mulai kehilangan arah.
Aku pernah membaca, ketika seorang santri
mulai kehilangan rutinitas wiridnya, maka saat itu juga ia kalah. Dan kurasa,
aku kalah. Kalah dengan hawa nafsuku sendiri. Kalah dengan banyak hal yang
tampaknya menarik di muka bumi ini.
Sulit sekali untuk memulai lagi.
Lalu suatu hari, ketika sedang mencuci, entah
bagaimana karena HP sedang dicharge aku nyanyi-nyanyi lingsir wengi sendiri. Tembang
itu favoritku. Ya, aku pecinta semua genre lagu asal lagu itu enak didengar.
Biar kutulis ulang liriknya,
Lingsir wengi
Sepi durung biso nendro
Kagodho mring wewayang kang reridu ati
Kawitane ra sengojo njur kulino
Ra ngiro yen bakal nuwuhke trisno
Nanging duh tibake aku dewe kang nemahi
Nandhang bronto kadung loro sambat-sambat sopo
Rino wengi sing tak puji ojo lali
Janjine ugo biso tak ugemi
Sedari aku tahu lagu ini digubah Sunan
Kalijaga, aku berpikir bahwa lirik ini pasti mengandung unsur-unsur agama. Tetapi
sejauh aku merenungi, aku hanya bisa menangkap nada-nada jatuh cinta dan patah
hati. “Tidak menyangka akan menimbulkan rasa cinta. Sudah terlanjur sakit
harus mengadu kepada siapa”. Bagi siapapun yang sedang patah hati, kukira
lagu ini tepat untuk dinyanyikan. Menggambarkan sedikit keputusasaan dan
harapan.
Tetapi kemudian aku mengerti, lagu ini tidak bercerita
tentang patah hatinya seseorang karena cinta yang entah tidak tersampaikan atau
tidak disampaikan.
Mungkin pemaknaannya bergantung pada kondisi
setiap individu.
Lingsir wengi sepi durung biso nendro.
Menceritakan kondisi seseorang di mana ia
sedang sangat gundah. Sehingga banyak pikiran di kepalanya menghalanginya untuk
terlelap dalam tidur.
Kagodho mring wewayang kang reridu ati
Pikiran itu dapat berupa apa saja. Hal-hal
yang berkaitan dengan dunia. Hal-hal yang sifatnya menarik hati. Harta, tahta, wanita?
Apa saja yang berpotensi menjauhkan hati kita dari Sang Pencipta.
Kawitane ra sengojo njur kulino Ra ngiro yen
bakal nuwuhke trisno
Semua hal itu awalnya hanya coba-coba. Dengan keyakinan
yang luar biasa bahwa kita tidak akan terjerumus ke dalamnya. Tidak akan
mencintai terlalu dalam. Mengharapkan terlalu dalam. Terlena terlalu dalam. Sehingga
pada akhirnya selalu merasa kurang. Dan ujung-ujungnya susah berhenti dari apa
yang awalnya hanya ingin kita coba.
Nanging duh tibake aku dewe kang nemahi
Nandhang bronto kadung loro sambat-sambat sopo
Sampai pada akhirnya kita sadar, bahwa kita
telah menempuh jalan yang keliru. Bisa jadi sadar sebelum terlambat, bisa jadi
sadar karena sudah terlanjur jatuh. Dan mau tidak mau, ada rasa sakit yang
harus dihimpun. Bingung mau ke mana. Lalu saat itu kita ingat, Allah tidak
pernah meninggalkan kita.
Rino wengi sing tak puji ojo lali
Janjine ugo biso tak ugemi
Bait terakhir ini seakan menagih janji Allah yang
akan mengampuni setiap hambaNya yang mau bertaubat. Janji yang mengatakan bahwa
pintuNya akan selalu terbuka bagi mereka yang mau kembali. Dan dengan begitu,
kita yang pernah salah ini, bisa mengharapkan ridho dan kasih sayangNya lagi.
Setelah diangan-angan seperti itu, menyanyikan
lagu ini menjadi terasa menentramkan. Karena ternyata, Allah memang selalu ada
untuk kita. Tidak peduli apa.
