Ternyata Merindu

Rasa apa yang sedang kurasakan?
Tak cukup barang sebentar
Untuk memahami...
Tak mau pergi
Menggelayuti pikiran dan mencekam hati

Tuhan, rindukah ini?
Entahlah...
Tuhan, jagalah selalu cintanya padaMu
Juga padaku

MALAM NISFU SYA'BAN

       Tidak terasa sudah memasuki bulan Sya’ban atau bulan Ruwah kalau dalam penanggalan Jawa. Yang berarti sebentar lagi akan memasuki bulan yang selalu ditunggu-tunggu oleh seluruh umat Islam pada khususnya, ya Bulan Ramadhan. Di bulan Sya’ban atau Ruwah (arwah) umumnya masyarakat Jawa mempunyai tradisi turun-temurun yaitu tradisi nyadran. Yakni mendoakan para arwah leluhur yang telah meninggal yang biasanya dilaksanakan di masjid, rumah sesepuh desa atau bahkan sekitar kuburan, tapi kebanyakan acara sering dilaksanakan di masjid atau musholla. 

Kali ini saya bukan akan membahas tradisi nyadran, sebenarnya saya juga masih bingung bahkan kurang begitu mengerti tentang judul yang akan saja jelaskan ini, meskipun saya sudah sering mendengar kata-kata itu. Tapi karena kurang mengerti dan didorong oleh rasa keinginantahuan itulah makanya saya mencoba mencari referensi untuk kemudian memaparkannya.  

Planet Yang Mulai Sekarat (Bagian 1)

"Energy continuously flows from being concentrated to becoming DISPERSED, SPREAD OUT, WASTED and USELESS..." 

          Secuil lirik dalam track lagu berjudul Unsustainable yang diaransemen sedemikian bagusnya oleh salah satu band rock asal Inggris, Muse. Lirik yang kalau kita amati dan cermati menyinggung tentang bagaimana penggunaan dan pengolahan energi/sumber daya alam yang dimulai dari tempatnya berada kemudian diproses untuk diolah dan disebarluaskan, namun kebanyakan energi yang sebagian besar tidak dapat diperbaharui atau unrenewable resource (*silakan buka kembali buku IPS kelas 5 SD*)  hingga kemudian hanya tersia-siakan dan tak berguna dikarenakan kecerobohan maupun rasa "kemaruk-nya" manusia itu sendiri. 

Katakan saja kasus Semburan Lumpur PT. Lapindo Brantas di Porong, Sidoarjo, Jatim, bermaksud ingin mengebor gas/minyak karena kelalaian mereka yang keluar bukan yang sesuatu yang mereka cari selama ini. Alhasil cairan lumpur yang terus-menerus keluar dari dalam perut bumi hingga banyak sekali pihak-pihak yang dirugikan karena hal tersebut. Sudah hampir 8 tahun lamanya sejak semburan pertama lumpur pada tahun 2006 belum juga menunjukkan tanda-tanda untuk berhenti.  

Belum lagi sumber daya lainnya seperti minyak bumi, batu bara yang tidak dapat diperbaharui, kalaupun bisa diperbarui setidaknya membutuhkan hingga ribuan tahun untuk bisa mendapatkan gantinya. Hingga saat ini masih banyak yang menggunakan minyak /gas bumi untuk menunjang kebutuhan transportasi, serta menggerakkan roda-roda ekonomi demi menunjang kehidupan makhluk-makhluk yang tak pernah puas di planet yang semakin sekarat ini. Sumber Daya Alam yang selalu di eksploitasi tersebut lama-lama juga akan habis. Memang dengan mengekploitasinya akan bisa mewujudkan perkembangan ekonomi yang semakin maju tapi di sisi lain tambang bumi yang terus-menerus akan habis kemudian. Pengekploitasian yang sangat berlebihan akan menyebabkan sumber daya tersebut akan terbuang sia-sia dan yang tidak bisa kita hindari di kemudian hari adalah KELANGKAAN SDA.  

“New energy cannot be created and high-grade energy is being destroyed. An economy based on endless growth is Unsustainable”

Heavy Metal Music: Good or Bad?

     Like other music genre, heavy metal has positive impact in our lives also although a lot of people more know about bad effects from heavy metal music. As we have seen, heavy metal is a genre music that developed thick vocal, massive sound and the characterized by highly amplified distortion and overall loudness. The example of heavy metal band such as Avenged Sevenfold, Dream Theater, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Deep Purple. This music genre used to make a controversial result about how the people considered that heavy metal is not good to be filled in lifestyle. People always esteemed the dark side of heavy metal music so far, actually this music has positives effect like other music genre although there is no visceral research about this music genre. But, still believe that heavy metal music also has the positive impact, there some good side of heavy metal. For instance, heavy metal uses to reduce stress, frustration and anger explosion. And for one reason, heavy metal music is therapeutic, during we’re listening heavy metal, we have to release aggression and tension so we will not to do the violence way. So, I am convince that heavy metal can hold the reins our feel, mood, anger to be more good than in advance.

    

     As heavy metal has the music genre with hard and aggressive level, metal music’s devotee could escape from desolation, frustration, stress, fury, etc. Sciencedaily magazine published that was a study research about heavy metal music’s effect recently, even the research mentioned that heavy metal music followers more be able to controlling their negative emotion, expressive added and they had rather wreak the anger even though that research revealed heavy metal music’s addicted sloping have difficulty when they make relationship with friends and their family. But the surprised results study about it that research has evidenced if heavy metal music can assuage bad mood situation. With listen this music, listeners can reveal and escape from frustration and anger. They can show out the anger, abhorrence, betrayal, and incredulity with heavy music, trying to pour expression, to convey emotion into heavy metal music.
