Pain In Agony

Oyt!! Memandangkan PPSMI dah dimansuhkan(untuk tahun 2012) Penulis kali ini ingin menulis kembali dalam bahasa ibunda, Bahasa Malaysia.(tukar2 la.. borink kowt asyik orang puteh ja... ahha)

AMARAN!!: Post kali ini mungkin berbaur perkauman sedikit. Jika anda rasa anda ini jenis yang sensitif, terlalu 'narrow-minded' dan sukar menerima kritikan@kutukan, dinasihatkan agar segera menutup browser anda. Sebarang kemalangan(hati, jiwa etc) tidak akan ditanggung. :D

Baru hari selasa hari itu penulis pulang ke rumah setelah 5 hari berada di Lanai Kijang mengikuti kursus BNM. Sangat seronok rasanya setelah diberi peluang melihat dengan mata sendiri apa situasinya bekerja di BNM, perkongsian pengalaman dengan 'orang2 besar' BNM etc. Sangat seronok!!!

Kemudian, hari rabu pula penulis pulang ke MAKTAB RENDAH SAINS MARA TAIPING (weeee!!!!) untuk mengambil sijil SPM. Lucu rasanya melihat adik2 f4&f5 yang memakai baju bewarna biru itu. Semasa melalui PSP terbayang semula segala memori dan kenangan semasa diri penulis masih menuntut disana. Situasi pembelajaran di MRSM sememangnya telah banyak menyumbang dalam pembentukan cara belajar penulis. huhu..

Ok2.. cukup arr aku cuba menulis dengan skema. Tak kena. Tak masuk. Rasa janggal. Nak muntah.. haha.. erm.. berbalik kepada tajuk post kali neh.. KISAH 2 EKOR KETAM

Cerita ini diceritakan oleh ayah aku, beberapa hari setelah Dato Seri Najib mengumumkan biasiswa nasional. Ceritanya begini...

Ada seorang ah pek yang menjual ketam di pasar malam. ada macam2 jenis ketam yang dijual oleh ah pek itu. Boleh kata ada dekat 10 jenis la. Memang orang kampung kat situ pun panggil ah pek tu apek ketam. Die kira taukeh la. Kaya orangnya..

Berbalik pasal ketam. Seorang minah neh teringin la sesangat nak beli ketam. die pon bertanya la kat ahpek tu pasal harga ketam.

"apek, berapa harga ketam cokelat tu eh?"

"owh, yang tu murah ja.. rm5 sekilo."

Terkejut minah tu dengar. Apsal la murah sangat agaknya.. die pon mula 'suspicion' dengan ketam tu. Die tanya plak ketam laen.

"Yang kuning2 sket tu plak?"

"yang neh mahal. RM50 sekilo. Bukan ape, ketam ini arr, susah wo mau tangkap. Dia manyak pandai kasik larik punya.. Tengok saya pon kasik ikat sama dia. Tarak mahu dia lari punya wo.."

Barulah minah tu perasan ketam cokelat tadi diletak dalam besen besar sahaja tanpa diikat pon. Ketam kuning tu plak dah la diikat, diletak dalam besen besar siap berjaring lagi, takut lari. Minah neh dalam kecurigaan, terus meng'observe' ketam2 tadi. Ingin benar die mengetahui sebab sebenar perbezaan harga itu.

Setelah lama diperhati, barulah die faham.

Ketam cokelat tu, bila seekor dah nak lepas besen tu sebab panjat dengan gigih, seekor lagi akan tarik supaya yang mula2 tadi jatuh balik. Ketam cokelat neh, dengki. Bagi depa, kalo aku tak lepas, ko pon tak leh lepas. At the end, sekor pon tak leh lepas. so, tak perlu la nak tangkap n ikat2 ketam tadi.

Ketam kuning nih plak, walaupun dah diikat dengan tali, still depa masih dapat panjat lagi besen tadi. Sekor ketam akan cuba mengepit tali ketam yang seekor lagi, supaya 2-2 dapat lepas dari tali. Bila nak panjat pulak, sekor akan berada di bwah, dan tolak yang seekor lagi keluar. kerjasama itu ada. Ketam kuning ini plak sangat bijak. Depe sedar, kalo bwat keje sorang2 tak akan berjaya. So kalo cara A tak jadik, depa sentiasa ada cara B.

Sebnanya ketam2 neh tak da bezanya dengan perangai manusia. Ada satu kaum nieh kuat dengki, bila satu pihak berjaya, satu pihak laen mesti bersungguh2 menjatuhkan pihak yang berjaya tadi. Bukannya nak sama2 berjaya, tapi nak berjaya as in "aku berjaya, ngko tak!!" punya semangat. At the end, kaum neh, makin lama makin ketinggalan.
Ada satu kaum laen pulak, kuat gle 'kerjasama' depa, sampai seolah2 ada ja benda yang bleyh memajukan depa. Depa siap2 bwat 2 parti, tapi 2-2 parti bukan bertujuan berpecah belah. Tujuan nya nak pastikan supaya 2-2 pihak bekerja keras untuk kebaikan kaum. Korang tengok sendiri lah, pernah dengar tak MCA gaduh ngan DAP? tak!! baru2 neh kat kedah yang pasal runtuhkan ladang babi, DAP marah, MCA pun marah. Perjuangan depa sama, nak majukan parti. Bukan macam UMNO ngan PAS, saling menjatuhkan. OOooppsss... huhu..

So, korang dah nampak kan moral of da story? agak2 ketam cokelat tu kaum apa la yea? haha..

Have you ever felt very angry at someone that your head blew off? You feel like shouting thousands of swear words to that individual and feel like stabbing him/her multiple times with a rambo knife? Well, if and only if you have such emotions, you shall continue reading this, as it may contain some hazardous advice that may disrupt your well-balanced hormone atm.. ngeh3..

Ok, this is it.

you see, lately I've been thinking that why on Earth must human hate each other? I mean, we all are the same, and even in science we are classified under one huge name, homosapien . So what's the problem really?

Tell me, when you were still a small boy/girl, what did u feel when you saw an old man fell down? PITY right? you felt as if you want to help him in any way. Where has that 'PITHINESS' gone to? Tell me, was George W Bush did not go through a 'childhood'? Did he never being taught the importance of "loving human being"? Did he never being taught the magic of "PEACE"? If he did, who on this earth has delete them from his memory as he did'nt seem to know anything about the qualities mentioned above. Actually, the war between countries happen because there is no mutual agreement on sumthing. That makes both (or sumtimes multiple) countries to use weapons to decide the call. In order to discuss why such mutual agreement cannot exist, we shall examine the most basic concept of 'war' between human being. Its the fight, or in malay "gaduh" that even me myself sumtimes keep having. A human will 'hate' or even 'beat' another human mainly because there is no agreement reached btwn the two. And maybe this one side is very unhappy with the situation that he/she decided to take action. This is when the world peace is being threatened.

When you meet a small kid, (I mean younglings), ask them. What is their point of view about seeing people dying in war. some of them will straight away cry back to their parents, and the tougher and braver ones will still say that they don't like such things. But when the very same boy, a couple of years later, will not necessarily give the same respond. Why is that so? because, as we get older(an supposedly wiser) we tend to have different aims, wants and needs. Initially, a young kid will only know that he/she wanted to play and have fun. There are no aims that they must achieve. Nothing. That means, no pressure at all. No expectations(no parents would expect to get RM200 from a 5 year old boy monthly, right?). Nothing. That makes us not bonded to any responsibility, and at that time, it makes us feel very much happy. Thus, LESSON NUMBER ONE: When we are happy, no responsibility etc, we will try to make other people happy as well.

But what if we are angry? Say I hate this A***** person. How can I share happyness with him/her? Well, you see, happiness is sumthing that cannot be kept forever. When you are happy, you have to realise that the happiness will not last long. So, you need to make full use of it while its there. How to use it? Share it. Spread the happiness. When this happen, the other person, who is also happy will then spread his/her happy aura back, making everyone happy. BUT BE CAUTION!!! there is no one specific way in sharing your happiness. And believe me, by telling your success to another person, that is not what 'sharing means' in this context. You will just make the other person envy with your achievement, and as a result, he/she would like you to stop bragging. If he/she did'nt managed to tell you exactly that, and you on the other hand did not stop, a CONFLICT will occur. This will lead to a misunderstanding, which will later on cause hatred to be shared(just like happiness, hatred is the same thing. Cannot last, and share-able). When this happens, this is the point where the world peace will start to collapse.
LESSON NUMBER TWO: Share happiness, but be caution not to spread hatred. Both are infectious.


Let me make a very good point of what I'm trying to say above. You see, when someone who cause discomfort in your eyes come closer, there is always hatred over there. If you let that same feeling to be shared, then BOOM. someone might has his/her ass kicked. Just treat everyone, ANYONE, even those you hate so much with care and affection. This will make them happy, and thus they will share their happiness back to us. For example, I used to hate so much when my mother ask me to run an errand on sumthing, and that hatred feeling will flow all over my body that it started to spill over. As a result, I will do the task with a rather sour face and my mother will not be happy as well. It will be a loss-loss situation. But if I accept her request with smile, do it wholeheartedly, I will not feel burdened by the task. Instead, it will be like the most awaited adventure ever. She will be happy, and as a result, I will be rewarded(not necessarily larh.., but you see, when people appreciate our contribution, it will make us a lot happier) with some kind of gifts etc. A win-win situation. LESSON NUMBER THREE: swallow your hatred. Let Happiness rule your body.

LESSON NUMBER FOUR: A misunderstanding always end up with a solution. But there is two possible outcome. One, It is solved with mutual agreement, second, it is solved with one-sided selfish approach, that might cost the other side a fortune.

Though I might sound crazy, but in Economics, this thing is somehow not relevant. In Economics, the stress is commonly on EFFICIENCY, which for me is a really bad word. You see, in order to achieve efficient-level, people tend to do their best(which is good) but sometimes at other people's cost. There is no sharing when money come into discussion, There is no willingness to sacrifice when its about wealth. Its as simple as that. Even some economist describe efficiency as the state in which no one can be better-off without worsening other people's condition. (ref: Undecover Econ, Tim Harford) So, while we are in "rat-race and paper-chase" in becoming efficiency, we tend to forget all basic qualities that being taught when we were like 6. When we learn about the power of science in building flabbergasting techs, we only see it as a mean of lowering Marginal Efficiency Scale(MES) curve(ie AC curve). We see the frantic pace of nuclear development as a "route" to 'end' misunderstanding, so that the process of 'gaining' efficiency can be made faster. You see, sometimes, being efficient is not enough. Say that every single people in the world lost all their money to Bill Gates. He will be enormously rich. But everybody else is broke. Is that really is an ideal place to live? the answer is no. So, basically, we are all well-aware with the fact that we want to be as rich as possible, as powerful as a king etc. But remember, this is NOT a good thing in terms of preserving the "WORLD PEACE". As this can only be achieved when everyone share their happiness if not their fortune as well.
