JANGAN UMBAR KESEDIHAN DI MEDSOS
Imam Syafii berkata bahwa keagungan seseorang bisa dinilai dari 3 hal:
1. Menyembunyikan kefakiran sampai orang² mengira bahwa kamu orang kaya.
2. Menyembunyikan marah sampai orang² mengira kalau kamu ridha.
3. Menyembunyikan kesengsaraan sampai orang² mengira kamu selalu diberi nikmat oleh Allah.
Intinya, jangan suka umbar kesengsaraan kita. Terutama di medsos.
It’s better to lose everything without losing yourself than to win anything by betraying your principles.
What you preserve while striving matters more than what you acquire by giving up your soul.
I just recently found a YouTube channel about a Japanese salaryman.
This is so depressing.
He has a lot of overtime at work, and sometimes he misses the last train home. Because he lives far away, he stays in a special café where he can sleep, eat, and play video games. This is a common practice among many Japanese workers.
But mostly this overtime is not real work. As the blogger says, they do two jobs at work: one is real work, and the second one is pretending to work. The second one is more exhausting.
They have endless meetings with the same agendas because no one wants to take responsibility for decisions.
After watching it, I more clearly understood why anime is so popular there. Watching it can easily move you to a different reality when your own reality sucks.
"Jangan sekali-kali kalian mengatakan 'diriku sangat buruk', akan tetapi katakanlah 'diriku ada kekurangan'" [HR Muslim]
Begitu halus Nabi ﷺ meminta kita agar menjaga diri, usah caci atau keras menghina diri. Nabi ﷺ minta kita jangan berkata buruk kepada diri sendiri.
