Balance

Everything should be in balance.

You shouldn't be too confidence about yourself, so people won't think you are an arrogant brat.
You shouldn't be too humble either, so people won't step their feet on your head.

Life is not easy, it never was.

Sometimes I wonder why our destiny is mostly determined by which nationality we have.

The more you know, the more choices you have. Although having many choices is not always a good thing, having no choice is always worse.

There are a lot of things to be considered before you decide to have a child. It's more than just because you like babies (be a babysitter is enough for this hobby), or because all your friends have one, or simply because you don't want to die alone and want someone to take care of you in your old days.

Here's a bit of advice from a 28 years old girl who hasn't got any children and thinks that she has gone through a lot of things in her life:

It takes a lot of power to accept that at the end of the day your kid doesn't turn out the way you want him to be. It takes an extremely high self confidence to tell your self that you have raised him well enough and that you have done the best and it's not your fault if someday he doesn't survive in this cruel world. And moreover you still can be happy.

Don't expect you can change someone. People don't change, and hoping that someday they will change is like hoping for a miracle, and I tell you a secret: It's never happened!

I hate it when people say just leave it up to God. Well, here is my two cents: It's just like crossing the street when the traffic light is red and praying that God will help you! Plan everything carefully and know your reasons because as far as I know He just simply doesn't care or simply doesn't exists.

It's difficult to understand the sum of a person's life. Some people would tell you it's measured, by the one's left behind. Some believe, that it can be measured in faith. Some say by love. Other folks say, life has no meaning at all. Me...I believe that you measure yourself by the people who measure themselve's by you.

Have you lead your life?

There'll come the time when you have to lead your life, not just follow it.

This is my first experience using VirtueMart, the e-commerce edition for Joomla!. So far it provides everything that I need. I also use additional Component for making the Contact Us form, FacileForms. Additionaly, I got to know that there are actually a better WYSWYG editor than the standard version form Joomla!, it is a mambots called TMEdit. It simplifies the process of inserting image to the content by providing a page where we can easily select the image from the /stories directory - visually - and also provides a way to upload new images.

Dua Dongeng

Sebuah cerita Leo Tolstoy berkisah kurang lebih begini:

Ada seorang pangeran muda yang gagah di Rusia, seorang siswa terkemuka dalam akademi militer, seorang yang jadi buah bibir orang banyak. hasratnya untuk bersetia kepada Tsar dibuktikannya dengan menjadi salah seorang ajudannya, dan bersedia mengawini seorang gadis bangsawan cantik yang dipilihkan Tsar baginya. Tapi urung. Ternyata gadis itu bekas gundik Tsar sendiri. Maka pangeran itu pun memutuskan pertunangannya dan menjadi rahib.

Di kalangan rohaniawan ini ia pun menonjol karena kekerasan hatinya buat menyempurnakan diri. Tapi tak lama kemudia ia juga terpaksa harus pergi; ia menyesal ia telah mencoba membantah kepala biara karena suatu hal yang mendorongnya untuk membuktikan bahwa ia lebih saleh.

Ia pun menyendiri dalam hutan, menyucikan diri. Tapi ia tetap menjadi buah bibir, terutama di antara para wanita bangsawan. Mereka tertarik akan sosok dan parasnya, meskipun kini telah berpakaian rahib. Pada suatu hari di musim salju seorang wanita cantik mencoba menggoda. Ia masuk ke dalam pondok Bapa Sergius. Mata mereka bertatapan dan perempuan itu menangkap api nafsu sedetik di sana. Tapi Bapa Sergius, dengan tangan gemetar, mengusirnya. Untuk melawan godaan ia mengambil kampak. Rahib itu memotong jarinya sendiri. Lalu dengan suara serak diusirnya perempuan itu, yang lari terkejut melihat jari yang berdarah. Wanita itu kemudian bertobat, dan jadi biarawati.

Maka termasyhurlah Bapa Sergius. Ia mulai dikenal sebagai orang suci. Berbondong-bondong para petani datang kepadanya buat mendapatkan penyembuhan atau berkah, dan ia menerima mereka dengan senang. Ia mulai mengganti rotinya yang coklat dengan roti putih yang empuk.

Pada suatu hari datanglah seorang ayah membawa anak gadisnya yang sakit aneh. Ayah itu minta penyembuhan. Ketika Bapa Sergius dan gadis itu sendirian tahulah orang alim termasyhur itu bahwa gadis itu sakit memimpikannya. Ia tak bisa menahan godaan. Yang tak boleh terjadi pun terjadi. Gadis itu kemudian tertidur.

Bapa Sergius pun tahu bahwa ia telah melakukan dosa dan ia pun menanggalkan baju pendetanya, menghilang ke arah hutan. Dibawah sebuah pohon ia tertidur dan ia bermimpi. Ia harus datang ke tempat adiknya perempuan tinggal. Mimpi itu juga memberi pesan kepadanya agar ia belajar dari wanita itu.

Wanita itu seorang janda biasa yang tak nampak bisa jadi pengajar kerohanian. Ia bekerja saja dengan keras dan rajin buat anak dan menantunya. Tiba-tiba Sergius sadar bahwa begitulah ajaran yang perlu baginya. Ia pun pergi.

Pada suatu hari dua orang bangsawan melihat segerombolan fakir menuju ke suatu tempat ziarah. Adalah seorang dari mereka nampak menonjol. Sosoknya tinggi dan paras tuanya tampan. "Siapakah kamu?", laki-laki tua itu ditanya. "Hamba Tuhan," jawabnya.

Pamrih atas nama batin atau atas nama rohani adalah tetap pamrih. Seringkali kita tidak tahu.

[Caping, 29 Oktober 1977 - Goenawan Muhammad]

"Hamba Tuhan, Hamba Tuhan" some of my friends say that very often...
