Pada suatu hari seorang ayah dan anaknya sedang duduk berbincang di tepi sungai. Kata ayah kepada anaknya, "Lihatlah kebawah anakku, disitu terdapat air dan air itu begitu penting dalam kehidupan ini, tanpa air kita semua akan mati."

Pada saat yang bersamaan, seekor ikan kecil mendengarkan percakapan sang ayah dan anak tersebut dari bawah permukaan air. Ia mendadak menjadi gelisah dan ingin tahu apakah air itu, yang katanya begitu penting dalam kehidupan ini. Ikan kecil itu berenang dari hulu hingga ke hillir sungai sambil bertanya kepada setiap ikan yang ditemuinya, " Hai tahukah kamu dimana air ? Aku telah mendengar percakapan manusia bahwa tanpa air kehidupan akan mati."

Ternyata semua ikan yang ditemuinya tadi tidak mengetahui dimana air itu.
Si ikan kecil semakin gelisah. Lalu ia berenang terus sampai akhirnya bertemu ikan sepuh yang sudah berpengalaman, kepada ikan sepuh ini ikan kecil menanyakan hal yang serupa, " Dimanakah air ?"

Jawab ikan sepuh, " Tak usah gelisah anakku, air itu telah mengelilingimu, sehingga kamu bahkan tidak menyadari kehadirannya. Memang benar tanpa air kita akan mati."

Pembaca setia, kadang-kadang kita mengalami situasi yang sama seperti ikan kecil tadi, mencari kesana-kemari tentang kehidupan dan kebahagiaan, padahal kita sedang menjalaninya bahkan kebahagiaan sedang melingkupi kita sampai-sampai kita tidak menyadarinya.

Terkadang kita juga memberikan syarat atas kebahagaian kita dengan materi, kedudukan dan sebagainya sehingga kita tidak menyadari bahwa didekat kita terdapat kebahagiaan. Padahal kebahagiaan sejati bersumber dari hati yang penuh dengan rasa cinta kasih dan syukur.

Untuk itu cintai dan kasihilah orang disekitar kita (Orang tua, saudara, kerabat, rekan kerja) dan syukuri atas apa yang sudah kita terima, lalu perhatikan apa yang terjadi.........

A Story to live by
There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.

He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'

This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.

Life Is a Gift

Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.

Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who died too early on this earth.

Before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren...

Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive - Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're ALIVE and still around.

Thanks bro/sis!

nemu ini tentang ikan dan air:

In the water there lives a fish. The water love the fish and showered the fish with lots of care and warmth. Yet the fish fell in love with the blue sky above the water. One day the fish was in tears and told the water that you never see me cry cause I am in the water. The water replied "I can't see you crying but I can feel your tears as you are embraced in my heart."

(dalem banget bos... )

gara2 liat tv series Life. banyak banget Zen di sana. ini yang gua inget:

You breath air. I breath air. You friends breath air. Your enemies also breath air.

The sun shines on you. The sun shines on me. The sun shines on your friends and enemies.

In a way we are all connected.

Thus if you hurt your enemies, you merely hurt yourself.

Another story:

My mom only had one eye. I hated her... She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students & teachers to support the family.

There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me.
I was so embarrassed.

How could she do this to me?
I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.
The next day at school one of my classmates said, "EEEE, your mom only has one eye!"

I wanted to bury myself.
I also wanted my mom to just disappear.
I confronted her that day and said, " If you're only goanna make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die?"

My mom did not respond...
I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger.
I was oblivious to her feelings.

I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her.
So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.
Then, I got married.
I bought a house of my own.
I had kids of my own.
I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts, Then one day, my mother came to visit me.
She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her grandchildren.

When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited.
I screamed at her, "How dare you come to my house and scare my children!"
GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!"

And to this, my mother quietly answered, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address."
And she disappeared out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house.

So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip.
After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.

My neighbors said that she died.
I did not shed a single tear.
They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.

My dearest son, I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to your house and scared your children. I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.
You see........when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye.
As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with one eye.
So I gave you mine.
I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.

With all my love to you,
Your mother.

Always tell someone that you love them because you never know what day will be their last, or your own.

Always seek to resolve your problems or disagreements with loved ones. Because if either of you should pass on before, the one who is left alive will have the rest of their life to ponder those unresolved feelings but will never find closure. And closure usually brings peace...
