Selama kepergiannya, bawahannya dgn teliti memelihara bunga-bunga anggrek tersebut. Namun, pd suatu hari ketika sdg menyiram bunga anggrek trsbt, tanpa sengaja menyenggol rak-rak pohon sehingga semua pohon anggrek berjatuhan & pot anggrek itu pecah berantakan & pohon anggrek berserakan.

Para bawahannya ketakutan, menunggu tuannya pulang & meminta maaf sambil menunggu hukuman yg akan mrk terima.

Setelah sang tuan pulang mendengar kabar itu, lalu memanggil para bawahannya, dia tidak marah kpd mrk, bahkan berkata, “Saya menanam bunga anggrek, alasan pertama adlh utk dipersembahkan kpd org yg suka melihatnya & yg kedua adlh utk memperindah lingkungan di daerah ini, bukan demi utk marah saya menanam pohon anggrek ini.”

Perkataan tuan ini sungguh benar, “Bukan demi utk marah menanam pohon anggrek.”

Dia bisa demikian toleran, krn walaupun menyukai bunga anggrek, tetapi di hatinya tidak ada rasa keterikatan akan bunga anggrek. Oleh sebab itu ketika dia kehilangan bunga-bunga anggrek tsb, tidak menimbulkan kemarahan dlm hatinya.

Sedangkan kita dlm kehidupan kita, sering terlalu byk kekhawatiran, terlalu peduli pd kehilangan & mendapatkan, sehingga menyebabkan keadaan emosi kita tidak stabil. Kita merasa tidak bahagia.

Maka seandainya kita sedang marah, kita bisa berpikir sejenak:
•» “Bukan demi marah menjadi sahabat.”
•» “Bukan demi marah menjadi suami istri.”
•» “Bukan demi marah melahirkan & mendidik anak.”
•» “Bukan demi marah menjadi atasan dan pemimpin.”
•» “Bukan demi marah menjadi sakit dan tidak berdaya.”

Maka kita bisa mencairkan rasa marah & kesusahan yg ada dlm hati kita & merubahnya menjadi rasa damai.

Setelah membaca artikel ini, saat emosimu tinggi dan hendak bertengkar (dgn siapapun jg), ingatlah perjumpaan kalian di dunia, bukan utk  marah…:D

Hidup adalah Pilihan….

I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
And I’ll never criticize all you’ve ever meant to my life

[Chorus]
I don’t want to let you down
I don’t want to lead you on
I don’t want to hold you back
From where you might belong
You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can’t live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There’s nothing left to say but good-bye
You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I’m not sure I’m worthy of
Losing you is painful to me

(Chorus) You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can’t live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There’s nothing left to try
Though it’s gonna hurt us both
There’s no other way than to say good-bye

Empat bulan kemudian mereka bertemu lagi secara tdk sengaja di dalam dompet seorang pemuda. Kemudian diantara kedua uang tsb terjadilah percakapan,

yg Rp 100.000 bertanya kepada yang Rp 1000;

“Kenapa badan kamu begitu lusuk, kotor dan bau amis…?”

dijawablah olehnya

“karena aku begitu keluar dari Bank langsung ditangan orang-orang bawahan dari tukang becak, tukang sayur, penjual ikan dan ditangan pengemis”

Lalu Rp.1000.bertanya balik pada Rp 100.000;

“Kenapa kamu kelihatan begitu baru, rapi dan masih bersih?”

dijawabnya;

“Karena begitu aku keluar dari Bank, langsung disambut perempuan cantik dan beredarnyapun di restauran mahal, di mall dan juga hotel-hotel berbintang serta keberadaanku selalu di jaga dan jarang keluar dari dompet”

lalu Rp 1000 bertanya lagi;

“Pernahkah engkau mampir di tempat ibadah? “

Dijawablah…

“Belum pernah”.

Rp 1000 pun berkata lagi;

“Ketahuilah walaupun keadaanku seperti ini adanya, setiap Jum’at /minggu  aku selalu mampir di Mesjid2,vihara / gereja  dan ditangan anak-anak yatim, bahkan aku selalu bersyukur kepada Tuhan. Aku tidak dipandang manusia bukan sebuah nilai tapi yang dipandang adalah sebuah manfaat… “

Akhirnya menangislah uang Rp 100.000 karena merasa besar, hebat, tinggi tapi tdk begitu bermanfaat selama ini. jadi….Bukan seberapa besar penghasilan Anda, tapi seberapa bermanfaat penghasilan Anda itu.karena kekayaan bukanlah untuk kesombongan. Semoga kita termasuk golongan orang-orang  yang selalu mensyukuri nikmat dan memberi manfaat untuk semesta alam serta dijauhkan dari sifat sombong….(y)Aamiin..({}):)

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 11,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

I won’t run, I won’t fly
I will never make it by
Without you, without you
I can’t rest, I can’t fight
All I need is you and I
Without you

Without you
Oh, oh, oh!
You! You! You!
Without
You! You! You!
Without you

Can’t erase, so I’ll take blame
But I can’t accept that we’re estranged

Without you, without you
I can’t quit now, this can’t be right
I can’t take one more sleepless night
Without you, without you

I won’t soar, I won’t climb
If you’re not here, I’m paralyzed
Without you, without you
I can’t look, I’m so blind
I lost my heart, I lost my mind
Without you

Without you
Oh, oh, oh!
You! You! You!
Without
You! You! You!
Without you

I am lost, I am vain,
I will never be the same
Without you, without you
Without you

I know I can’t take one more step towards you
Cause all that’s waiting is regret
And don’t you know I’m not your ghost anymore?
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live, half-alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are?
Runnin’ ’round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart

You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Who do you think you are?

I hear you’re asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

I’ve learned to live, half-alive
Now you want me one more time

Who do you think you are?
Runnin’ ’round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart

You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Who do you think you are?

Dear, it took so long
Just to feel alright
Remember how to put back
The light in my eyes

I wish I had missed
The first time that we kissed
‘Cause you broke all your promises
And now you’re back you don’t get to get me back

Who do you think you are?
Runnin’ ’round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart

You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Don’t come back at all

And who do you think you are?
Runnin’ ’round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart

You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don’t come back for me
Don’t come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

And I won’t forget you, don’t regret you. And the hardest thing I’ve had to do is live without you. And i wonder why we both walked away. I’m lost without you, still crazy for you. Just turn around, come back because your smile is overdue And I miss, I miss you.

If I’d only knew the words to say that would make you turn around (turn around) I’d say those words to you more than a million times. It’s been forever, but that hasn’t changed what you mean to me. Darling can’t you see?

That I won’t forget you, don’t regret you. And the hardest thing I’ve had to do is live without you. And i wonder why we both walked away (We walked away) I’m lost without you, still crazy for you.

Just turn around, come back because your smile is overdue And I miss, I miss you.

I’m sorry for all I did, what I said and things I hid. I’m finally over me.. Is that too late for you? I can’t imagine where I’d be If you had never rescued me You gave me what it is, now I need you. Yes I need you!

And I won’t forget you, don’t regret you. And the hardest thing I’ve had to do is live without you. And i wonder why we both walked away. (Walked away) I’m lost without you, still crazy for you. Just turn around, come back because your smile is overdue And I miss, I miss you.
