Sang waktu meluncur dengan pasti, tak terelakkan oleh siapapun juga, menerkam dan menelan segala sesuatu di jagad raya ini. Kalau lepas dari perhatian, waktu meluncur dengan amat cepatnya, seolah-olah baru kita memejamkan mata sebentar saja, bertahun-tahun telah lewat tak terasa. Sebaliknya kalau diperhatikan, sang waktu merayap dengan amat lambatnya, kadang-kadang tak tertahankan oleh kesabaran kita. Nampak jelas betapa cepatnya waktu meluncur lewat kalau kita menengok kebelakang. Seolah-olah masa kanak-kanak kita baru terjadi kemarin dulu! 

Waktu meluncur amat cepatnya sehingga kehidupan normal seorang manusia antara enam puluh sampai delapan puluh tahun itu nampak pendek sekali. Dan hal ini membuat kita termenung memikirkan. Di dalam waktu sesingkat itu sebagai manusia hidup, apakah yang telah kita lakukan? Apakah kita mengisi penuh waktu singkat dalam hidup itu hanya dengan mengejar kesenangan? Hanya untuk diombang-ambingkan oleh suka dan duka?
Dihimpit bermacam penderitaan, kekecewaan, kegelisahan, kebencian dan lebih banyak sengsara daripada bahagia? Pernahkah kita mengisi waktu yang sesempit itu dengan perbuatan-perbuatan yang bermanfaat, baik bagi diri sendiri maupun bagi orang lain? Kalau tidak alau belum, mengapa tidak kita lakukan mulai saat ini juga sebelum terlambat, sebelum kita kembali ke dalam tiada? Dan perbuatan yang bermanfaat, baik bagi diri sendiri maupun bagi orang lain dan bagi dunia, hanyalah perbuatan yang lahir dan batin yang penuh cinta kasih. Perbuatan apapun juga, tanpa dasar cinta kasih, adalah palsu dan hanya akan menimbulkan pertentangan batin. Sungguh amat menyedihkan melihat betapa kita sudah hampir kehilangan sinar cinta kasih itu, sehingga hampir semua perbuatan di sekitar kita adalah perbuatan pura-pura, tidak wajar, kesemuanya didasari perhitungan rugi untung, kebaikan-kebaikan yang dilakukan hanyalah kebaikan rugi uutung, bahkan apa yang kita namakan cinta kita juga adalah cinta berdasarkan rugi untung.
 
Kita yang selalu mengejar-ngejar kesenangan itu tak pernah lepas daripada perhitungan rugi untung ini, baik keuntungan lahir maupun keuntungan batin yang dicarinya.Karena itu, setiap gerak perbuatan adalah palsu. 
Seandainya ada sedikit ikhlas dihati kita.....

Pengalaman merupakan guru terpandai. Rangkaian mencari-mendapatkan-memiliki-memelihara merupakan mata rantai yang tidak dapat dipisahkan. Kalau orang sudah memiliki sesuatu, berarti dia dibebani sesuatu karena dia harus menjaga dan memelihara!
Makin banyak orang memiliki benda atau apa saja yang disukanya, makin banyak pula beban menindih pundaknya dan membuatnya selalu harus menjaga dan memelihara semua miliknya. 
Hanya orang yang tidak punya apa-apalah, yang akan enak tidur di waktu malam. Orang yang tidak punya tidak akan khawatir kehilangan! Orang yang punya sekali waktu pasti akan kehilahgan!”
Kalau begitu apakah lebih enak menjadi orang yang tidak mempunyai apa-apa yang disenanginya agar tidak sampai kehilangan?”
“Manusia menjadi korban daripada nafsunya sendiri. Karena itu, dalam keadaan bagaimanapun juga ia akan selalu menderita. Yang tidak punya akan menderita oleh nafsunya sendiri yang menimbulkan perasaan iri hati. Yang punya akan menderita oleh nafsunya sendiri yang tidak ingin kehilangan miliknya. Hanyalah orang yang telah mampu mengendalikan nafsunya sendiri, yang tidak dikuasai oleh nafsu pribadinya, baik di situ punya atau tidak punya, akan tetap tenang dan bahagia. Dalam keadaan tidak punya, dia tidak kepingin, dalam keadaan punya dia tidak terikat oleh miliknya.”
Kalau engkau terheran menyaksikan sikap dan perbuatanku, tanyalah. Hanya dengan bertanya orang dapat mengerti, dan bertanya adalah senjata seorang yang rendah hati, sedangkan hanya orang rendah hati saja yang akan mendapatkan kemajuan dalam perjalanan hidupnya.”

Just to share my favorite song... check this lyric

Put a candle in the window, ’cause I feel I’ve got to move.
Though I’m going, going, I’ll be coming home soon,
long as I can see the light.

Pack my bag and let’s get movin’, ’cause I’m bound to drift a while.
When I’m gone, gone, you don’t have to worry long,
long as I can see the light.

Guess I’ve got that old trav’lin bone, ’cause this feelin’ won’t leave me alone.
But I won’t, won’t be losin’ my way, no, no
long as I can see the light.

Yeah! yeah! yeah! oh, yeah!

Put a candle in the window, ’cause I feel I’ve got to move.
Though I’m going, going, I’ll be coming home soon,
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.

Most of the world's failures, most of our relationship issues, most of our personal problems come from one thing, from only seeing one thing, from only being taught one thing, from completely believing that one thing and from refusing to see anything else. Most of what we are taught is from one point of view, most of what we believe is from one standpoint, most of what we stand up for is one side of an argument.

We fail to see the other side of the argument, we fail to see that there are always other ways to look at things, to deal with things, to resolve things. We are so set in our ways, so brainwashed, so 'miseducated', so unbelievably one-track-minded that we are constantly battling against anyone else who does not see things from that one 'miseducational' vantage point.

Whether it's our nation, our religion, our marital situation, our children or our own destination, we are set on a path, stuck on that path and we cannot accept anything other than that; even if we open up our eyes and see something else, it is wrong.

All in all, it is about time that we looked around us, that we stopped seeing things from one point of view, that we opened up our minds to various outlooks and outcomes, that we refused to be driven into ignorance by what we were told as children or sold as adults, that we finally made decisions based on all possible scenarios with all possible outcomes and that we viewed the world from a wider perspective than the one that most of us have been railroaded into.

If we opened up our minds to a more varied viewpoint, then we would make decisions within and without our relationships that were based on the best possible information, we would be less defensive and more accepting, less aggressive and more flexible, less controlling and more caring, less conditional and more likely to actually succeed as humans, as lovers and as individuals.
