A Little Pig Baby and Crocodile

In a jungle, it lives kinds of wild and tame animals, carnivore, herbivore and omnivore animals.

In that jungle, live a group of pigs. The people said jungle pig or wild pig. If they are going and looking for food, usually they are always in a group. Going everywhere, they always eat what they can eat.

Yeah! Pigs are omnivore, eat everything to fill their stomach.

In the bright morning, a group of pigs are going out from their place to seek food. In the journey, a little baby pig run in the back line of the group. Suddenly, his leg was trapped in the surface roots in that jungle. He asked for help to his senior and friends.

‘Help! Help! Help! Mom Help! My legs were trapped. Help! Help!’. But no body his yelling.

He tried to let away from the roots, but what he did, it was never success, his power was not strong enough to let away from the roots.

Hummmm……. This is so hard to let away from this trap. He was yelling on his heart while shaking his body.

Longer and longer he tried, painer and painer he felt on his foot. It was almost two hours he tried to let away from the trap, but there was no result at all.

Then he was crying loudly. “Help! Help!......”he said while crying.

What a pity he was! No body came to help although he had been crying for two hours. He began to desperate himself. He hoped, his group came to help him and realized that he had been lost from the group, and he hoped the group will look for him.

But after hours, no body came to help, he was still crying.

He thought and thought. Then on his heart said,” No body will change myself except I myself change it. I should not depend on other and I have to effort by myself “.

By the strong of willing, he tried to get up and said, “I have to let away myself from this trap”.

He began to shake his body and legs. After a half hour later. He was success to let away his legs from the roots. However, his legs hurts and it began to bleed. Then he walk slowly. On his way, he felt thirsty, “Ahhhh, its better for me to search water source first before following my friends”, he thought on his heart.

By walking slowly, he explored the jungle and walked carefully. After exploring the jungle hours, finally he found a river, beautiful and wide river. He was going to the river. After arriving there, he drank the water until he felt satisfied. In the bank of the river, he took a rest and recklined his body then he closed his eyes.

But how surprised he was, when he woke up and saw a group of crocodiles surrounding him. “Hi …. Crocodiles, don’t get closer. I order all of you. Don’t get closer”. He said to the crocodiles.

But the crocodiles were getting closer, and didn’t care the little baby pig’s yelling. Then, one of the crocodiles said, ”we should eat this meat for us together. His meat must be delicious”. All the crocodiles laughed because in front of them there was a sacrifice that could be eaten. “Ha … Ha ….”. The crocodiles laughed.

“OK, we will give you time to pray before we eat your body”, said the leader of crocodiles. Then the little baby pig said, “Hi … crocodile. Do not you know, my body is forbidden to eat, and in my body there are so many deseas and germs. If you eat my body, you all will be sick and die suddenly”. “Hi … little baby pig, don’t try to lie us. We are the wild animals that like to eat meat like your body. Your body is just forbidden for men not for us crocodiles”, said the leader of crocodiles.

“Ok, one more time, we will give you time to pray before we eat you. Quickly!”. Yelled the leader of the crocodiles.

The little baby pig was scared, no words he could say anymore. Then he closed his eyes, pray and give up.

“Son, Son, my little baby pig wake up, the sun has been bright .The morning will come, let’s we find food, we will be late if you do not wake early from our group”, said mother of the little baby pig.

“Huuhh …., this is just a dream”, said the little baby pig. Almost I am dying.

AGAR HIDUP BERMAKNA

Tiba-tiba saja hidup jadi tak menentu. Segala daya dan upaya yang dilakukan seolah percuma. Kemanakah gerangan semua itu? Mengapa lenyap tak berbekas? Kecuali sesal, tak ada jawaban. Sungguh malang diri yang akhirnya teraniaya

Kehidupan yang bergulir dari waktu ke waktu memang sering luput dicermati. Lalu menjadi kebiasaan yang menjenuhkan belaka. Hampa, bahkan bagi mereka yang merasa berhasil meraih kesuksesan, harta yang melimpah pun tak mampu menciptakan senyum tulus. Alangkah nista.

Kejahilan atas hakikat kehidupan dunia membuat banyak manusia terpedaya.

Mereka keliru melangkah, salah bertindak. Maka yang kemudian melanda adalah bencana dan malapetaka. Berbagai kerusakan yang terjadi, tak lepas dari kesalahan mereka mengekspliotasi kekayaan alam tanpa peduli akibatnya. Hutan-hutan pun meranggas, isi laut terkuras, sumber daya alam terbuang sia-sia. Akibat lebih buruk pun kian menganga. Manusia jadi pemangsa atas manusia lainnya dengan beaneka ragam dalih.

Kelalaian fatal ini mestinya bisa dicegah. Sayang, keengganan untuk menyadari dampak yang timbul menepis setiap upaya perbaikan. Apalagi bila yang merasa berkuasa adalah orang-orang sombong dan takabur, yang tidak mau mengakui bahwa alam semesta ini adalah milik Allah Azza wa Jalla. Mereka ingkar terhadap peringatan Allah SWT untuk menjaga alam semesta ini dengan sebaik-baiknya. Padahal Allah SWT memerintahkan kita untuk menciptakan kemaslahatan hidup di dunia agar dapat dapat memetik kebahagiaan di akhirat. Allah Maha Pencipta juga mengingatkan kita tentang balasan dari setiap perbuatan di dunia, ” Siapa yang mengerjakan kebaikan sebesar dzarrah pun, niscaya dia akan melihat (balasan)nya. Dan barang siapa yang mengerjakan kejahatan sebesar dzarrah pun, niscaya dia akan melihat (balasan)nya pula,” (QS al-Zalzalah:7-8).

Al-Qur’an juga mengabadikan nasehat Luqman al-Hakim kepada putranya tentang hal ini. ”(Luqman berkata), ’Hai nakku, sesungguhnya jika ada (suatu perbuatan) sebesar biji sawi, dan berada di dalam batu atau di langit atau di dalam bumi, niscaya Allah akan mendatangkan (balasan)nya . sesungguhnya Allah Maha halus lagi Maha Mengetahui,”(QS Luqman: 16).

Peringatan ini jelas tidak boleh kita abaikan. Banyak fakta menunjukkan berbagai kerusakan diawali dengan perbuatan yang dianggap sepele. Membuang sejumput sampah sembarangan mulanya, lalu tiba-tiba menimbulkan banjir bandang yang menelan banyak korban. Merusak dan menebang ranting pohin tadinya, lalu tiba-tiba hutan jadi gundul, terbakar, dan akhirnya hancur, tak bisa ditanam lagi. Begitu juga dengan kebiasaan buuruk yang dibiarkan begitu saja.

Berbekal pemahaman pada hakikat kehidupan ini, marilah kita semua menguatkan tekat untuk senantiasa beramal shalih dan menjauhi perbuatan yang merusak. Ya, siapapun kita, dimana pun, kapan pun, dan dalam kondisi bagaimana pun. Dengan demikian, hidup ini akan lebih bermakna. (disadur dari majalah sabili)

New Friends

Ada beberapa hal yang aneh akhir-akhir ini.
Ketika sekian lama saya tidak melakukan chatting (sekitar 3 tahun) saya menemui hal-hal yang aneh. Hal itu mungkin anggapan saya saja atau karena hal yang baru tersebut membuat saya merasa asing. Mulai dari pembukaan yahoo messenger yang kelihatan berbeda dari yang sebelumnya membuat saya sedikit berpikir apakah ini yahoo messenger yang dulu pernah saya kenal. Karena keterbaruan tersebut saya jadi bingung. Bertanya, ya! Hal itulah yang saya lakukan. Kenangan lama mulai terbayangkan lagi ketika masa-masa awal membuka yahoo messenger.
Informasi teman itu membuat saya fasih lagi mengadakan conversation dengan dunia luar.Ketika coba untuk membuka yahoo chat saya bingung negara mana yang akan saya tuju. Kemudian pilihan saya jatuh kepada UK dan saya meilih London sebagai kota tujuan. Karena merasa bosan saya coba mengalihkan perhatian ke negara-negara yang menggunakan bahasa Inggris lainnya. Hasilnya sama saja kebosanan datang. Kemudian secara tiba-tiba terbayang di benak saya mengapa tidak mencoba di negara yang serumpun dan memiliki karakter yang sama. Ya sama mengalihkan perhatian ke Singapore, selain memiliki bahasa pengantar bahasa Inggris mereka juga sebagian besar memiliki budaya yang hampir sama yaitu kebudayaan Melayu.
Di room tersebut saya berkenalan dengan sahabat baru yang berasal dari negeri Jiran Malaysia. Mahasiswa dari Malaysia Sunway University.
