SEMUA TENTANG HATI

Realitas tidak dapat didikte......
Ya..... kenyataan dan harapan adalah dua sisi yang tidak saling kenal
Keduanya sering kali berbalik arah, tidak sejalan, bahkan saling menghantam.

Dan kita sering berada pada posisi yang tidak bisa dengan mudah menganggukkan kepala untuk menerima kenyataan yang menimpa kita. Tapi kita juga bukan orang-orang yang gampang menyerah untuk terus berusaha menyadari dan melihat kenyataan ini dengan bijak.

Semua butuh perjuangan..
Semua butuh kesabaran..
Semua butuh doa..
Dan terkadang air mata juga harus tertumpah

Menangis..
merintih..
Marah..
Terpuruk..
adalah proses yang sering kali harus terlewati
hingga akhirnya mencapai puncak pada ketenangan hati

Rindu tidak bisa terganti..
Rindu tidak selalu bisa terobati..
Rindu tidak harus bertemu..
RIndu tidak perlu dihapus..
Karena memiliki rindu adalah bagian terindah dalam kehidupan
Menikmati kesakitan karena rindu terkadang menghantarkan kenikmatan
Menjadikan rindu sebagai tempat ketentraman hati jauh lebih baik dari pada sekedar membebankan rindu sebagai sesuatu yang harus terwujud

Merindu adalah sisi yang tak pernah akan lepas dari diri kita.

Aku sayang kamu..

Seringkali...kegundahan menghadirkan kebimbangan
Seringkali...bayangan hitam tidak bisa lepas
Seringkali...kita terperangkap dalam kubangan yang sama

Tapi, menjadi lebih baik dan lebih berarti
adalah kesadaran yang harus terus dibangun...

Sorry atas semuany...
Thanks for anything...

Hawaii, one part of United State, is Small Island. Hawaii has many islands such as Big Island, Maui, Oahu etc and Honolulu is in Oahu Island. In fact, Honolulu is capital city in Hawaii. Actually, Oahu has many beautiful beaches and hills, for example, Waikiki beach, and Diamond Head. The weather in Oahu is not difference with Indonesia. Like Indonesia, Oahu did not have snow. If you want to see snow, you should go to Big Island. Indeed, many people told me that Big Island is more beautiful than Oahu, but Oahu is more available and crowded. When I came to here, Hawaii was still summer, but I felt that summer in Hawaii was not hot just like summer in Indonesia, so I did not have problem to adaptation with summer in Hawaii. Unlike Indonesia, Hawaii has beautiful rain, because rain in Hawaii is soft. However, I like Hawaii of all.

In Hawaii there have two famous universities that are University of Hawaii (UH) and University of Hawaii at Pacific (UHP), but UH is more famous. Moreover, University of Hawaii has two places in Manoa and in Hilo that is one part of Big Island. Indeed, I will study in UH in Manoa at Sociology program in next year. Before that, I continue to study in Hawaii English Language Program (HELP). Actually, my friends suggest me to join with my major in this semester, but I think that I need more preparation to improve my English skill. In my mind’s eye, if I have good English skill, I can study very well in the future and I can surmount my problem in study, so I choose to improve my English in HELP before I will follow my course.

Semua akan menjadi mudah.......
Semua akan menjadi indah.......
Semua akan menjadi berarti.....
Bila dilakukan dengan hati......

Apa yang keluar dari Amarah, akan diterima oleh amarah pula
Apa yang keluar dari nafsu, akan diterima oleh nafsu pula
Apa yang keluar dari hati, akan diterima oleh hati pula

Semua memang harus terjadi....
Semua tidak bisa dihindari....
Semua meski dihadapi....
Walaupun harus dengan air mata darah.......

Banyak hal yang ternyata luput dari perhatian kita, bahkan sering kali kita meremehkannya. Kita baru terhentak sadar saat semuanya terjadi, saat semuanya jadi tak terkendali. Saat seperti itu kita hanya mampu mengeluh dan berucap "kenapa semua bisa terjadi?," tanpa mampu bergerak lebih banyak lag

Selalu berpikir positive tidak selamanya menghantarkan kita pada kebaikan, sebab apa yang kita lihat ternyata tidak sebesar yang terselubung. Untuk itu menjaga diri adalah hal lebih baik daripada sekedar berpikir positive.

Renungan atas kejadian August 16, 2006
in Hale Manoa 609G.

Seringkali rasa rindu dan rasa takut kehilangan
Mendorong pada keterpurukan
Menyalakan keegoisan
Menutup kerasionalan

Apapun itu......
Menyayangi dan mencintai seseorang........
Adalah rasa yang tidak dapat tergantikan.

Dan............
Berada dekat dengan orang-orang terdekat.......
Adalah kesempatan yang paling berharga

Aku sayang kamu

Ketika Semuanya menjadi indah..........
Ketika Semunya membutuhkan doa dan pengorbanan........

Saat terindah dalam hidup kita adalah..........
Ketika kita dicintai dengan sepenuh hati..........
Dan ketika kita menjadi orang yang terpenting dalam hidup orang lain........

Gender equality still becomes problem in many country, especially in education. In the speech in fifth symposium of the Arab Cultural Centre in London on 29 July 2000 also at a seminar held by Save the Children in Stockholm on 5 October 2001, Azam Kamguian said, “Few would deny that education is one of the most important cornerstones of all human society” (“Islam”). In fact, many women are denied their right to education such as in Indonesia because Indonesia is following patriarchal culture, so men are higher class than women are. For instance, if the family has three children that are two daughters and one son, son will be given opportunity to developing his study higher than his sisters develop. This view is related to culture and religious doctrine. In my opinion, Indonesian women should get their right in education, such as to continue their study and to deciding their education in the future.
In traditional gender rules, women only have responsibility to keep house, for example, cooking, cleaning and serve their spouse, so they did not need to get good education. According to the story of interviewee, she has two sisters and seven brothers. Indeed, she and her sisters have same condition in study. She got married at 13 years old after she graduated from elementary school. Her young sister must married at 18 years old and another sister was luckier, because she can study in high school after that, her parent sent her to learning in Islamic boarding school and she got married at 21 years old. In fact, she wants to continue her study, but her parent has vision that woman just has responsibility to keep house, so she did not need to join in school. Nevertheless, all of her brother can follow study in university and two of them graduated from Middle East (Yemen and Iraq). In contrast, women ability influence for their children. Gustavo Angeles et al write that higher ability women, for example, might be more likely to continue on in school, and even in the absence of additional schooling, they would be better able to provide a safe and sanitary environment for their children which in turn would reduce the probability of their children dying (“The Effects”). In addition, Engendering Development World Bank got result of research in 2001 in 40 countries that level of women’s education could decrease children dying (“Kesejahteraan”). Therefore, when women have high level in education, they can get more information to keep their children. For example, if mother only graduated from elementary school, possibility that their baby is death is more increase than mother graduated from high school.
Traditional interpreter said that women have not opportunity to study. This opportunity include to deciding wherever they will study and what major they will join. According to true story of interviewee, he has only one sister and five brothers; also, he is the eldest children in his family. He said that if his family has problem, his parent always asked about his opinion. For example, he and his parent discussed to deciding where his sister will continue her study after graduated from elementary school, so his sister never has chance to deciding wherever she will study and what major she will join. Not only in study but also in daily his sister always is took care from her sibling and her parent. Actually, Islam keeps pluralism always, so Islam never prohibits for women to not only access in education but also join with their society and Islam support it fully (“Education”). According to Princess Sarvant, she said, “The religion is unequivocal. Islam fully encourages the education and well-being of girls, and the prophet Muhammad took every opportunity to make a favorable comment regarding the status of women (“Education”). In the other words, in Prophet Muhammad’s tradition, he always gave chance to developing in education, for not only men but also women too. Muhammad said that searching for knowledge was the duty of every believer (“Education”).
In my opinion, all of gender has same right, especially in education. Indeed, women should have good intelligence, if they want their children becoming smart people. Women have more time to accompany their children and teaching them. When women did not have capability to give good knowledge for their children, of course, their children’s did not get anything from their mother. In addition, women should be aware what they want to do in the future, so they can decide what and where they will study; also, Islam always support everybody to achieve her/his goal in the study. If many people still look at that Islam never allows women to study, it effects to traditional interpreter view. Interpreter is who somebody has knowledge to interpretation Koran and Muhammad’s tradition. In fact, they are very exclusively to looking at Islamic doctrine and almost all of them are men. For me, every interpretation is depend on its interpreter, such as what the purpose of interpreter is, what the education background is; also political situation can influence too. Thus, we cannot receive all of interpretation generally. Indeed, Islam never differ men and women, so all of bodies is equal. The difference between someone and each other is only in her/his adherence for god. In short, right of women’s education should be given.
