Akhirnya posting lagi setelah berhari2 rumahku ini gak ditengok2 ama yang punya rumah... pasti pada heran, emangnya sibuk ngapain? Gag ada tuh mas/mbak/jeung... Prasaan beberapa hari ini sibuk tapi gag jelas hasilnya apa... Binun kan, sutralah gag penting, gag usyah dibahas... Lanjut lagi, beberapa hari lalu aku ada baca parodi di sebuah koran ibukota tentang gimana hari2 ke depannya masyarakat ini yang semakin madesu alias masa depannya suram.. Gimana gag suram coba, BBM naek masih desas desus eh.. harga2 udah pada naek duluan... Blom lagi mikirin biaya buat anak sekolah di taon ajaran baru beberapa bulan yang akan datang, bisa bikin nangis bombay lah rasanya... uhuhuhuhuuuu...
Nangis bombay boleh2 aja, tapi sebenarnya ada cara lain buat mengurangi rasa sedih dan kalut itu.. yaitu dengan B-E-R-D-O-A! But why?
Masih dari kolom parodi, berikut ada cerita yang menjawab pertanyaan itu. Mohon maap sebelumnya, cerita sengaja gag diterjemahkan supaya pesan yang disampein tetap original. Coba baca yok, gag terlalu sulit koq..
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched the subject of God, the barber said :
Barber : I don't believe that God exists
Cust. : Why do you say that
Barber : Well, you have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would be there so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God exists, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't image a loving God who would allow all of these things.
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with a long, stringly, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He look dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barbershop again and he said to the barber :
Cust. : You know what? Barber doesn't exist.
Barber : How you can say that! I'm here and I'm a barber. And I just worked on you.
Cust. : No! Barber does not exist because that man outside.
Barber : Ah, but barber do exists! That's what happens when people do not come to me.
Cust. : Exactly! That's the point! God, too, does exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world!
Buat yang udah tau cerita ini, sori ya kalo terasa siaran ulangan... Tapi gag ada salahnya kan kalo diingatkan kembali bahwa dengan berdoa dan memohon hanya kepada-Nya, beban pasti terasa lebih ringan dan hari2 mendatang pun mungkin terasa tak sesuram yang dibayangkan. Honey... there must be some reasons for something....
