"People often think that the best thing depends on its worth."
Great quote, eh? I found that qoute while doing my final test of this semester, on English subject. It's actually a moral value of a narrative about a princess who want to prove her father, the King, that salt is also something important in life.
Well, reading that quote makes me think about lots of things in this world. About how people usually think about something, about people itself. They think the best thing is the worth one, the best people is the exist or popular one. That's all w.r.o.n.g! That's all bullshit! That mindset make another people suffering! WHY?
1. It could create bullying
Imagine it! You think that a person will be worth if he/she is popular, if he/she is handsome/beautiful. and then people who has mindset like that won't be 'usual person' that's not popular, that's not even handsome/beautiful, that would create sort of social level. Like 'the popular people' level and 'the usual people' level, and then the popular one will bully the usual one because the popular think that the usual one doesn't worth, or they don't even deserve to live in the world, that the popular should rules the world because they're worth! (okay, this is a bit too much, I'm soo lebay-_-) but yeah, that's he worst.
2. It could bring pressure towards another people, and make the depressed
Okay, I'll just use Indonesian, (I know I'm soo labil, but the I realize that my english is just very very sucks) and gua bakal curhat (dikit doang!) tentang yang satu inih. Soo, kalo misalnya orang yang kena bully sama orang-orang popular itu, pasti kan ya orang biasa itu bakal ngerasa depresi frustasi dan stres begonoh. Bahkan, orang yang nggak di bully pun kalo mentalnya nggak kuat bakal ngerasa depresi karena semua orang yang dikenalnya selalu aja mandang dia iu nggak berharga cuman gara-gara dia nggak cantik lah, dia nggak kaya lah, dia nggak dapet ranking yang bagus lah di sekolahnya (*jeleb) ato alasan apapun.
But yeah, FYI, gua pernah baru aja negrasain ini, pengalaman pribadi gau tentang rapor gua tentang orangtua gua yang bertubi-tubi komplain ke gua gara-gara nilai gua hancur bagaikan butiran debu:" jadi yah (yah jadinya malah curhat), gua kan abis ngikut program semacam pertukaran pelajar gitu ke Palembang selama 2 minggu, dan pas gua balik, 10 hari kemudian langsung UAS. Gua stres. Gua punya banyak susulan tugas dan ulangan, gua ketinggalan pelajaran, dan honestly I don't really studying in this bloody semester! So, gua panik, gua nggaktau kudu piye, yang jelas gua nggak mau nyerver. Gua cuman bisa berusaha semampu gua (gua nggak ngoyo, gua bukan bureng, gua buru nilai bagus) walaupun sebenernya itu santai sih belajarnya, selama 1 minggu UAS, gua tambah stres karena gua nggak bsia ngerjain soal-soal UAS itu properly, liat nilai pas seminggu abis UAS, gua makin gila mikirin nilai rapor, dan BOOM! Puncaknya adalah tanggal 22 Desember 2012. Pembagian rapor. Gua stres frustasi depresi, nggaktau kudu piye, gua dapet ranking terjelek dalam 16 tahun hidup gua, gua dapet nilai terjelek dalam hidup gua (walaupun sebenernya gua cukup bangga sama nlai matematika gua karena gua nggak pernah ngumpulin tugas tapi tetep bisa lulus KKM), gua sakit hati, nggak cuman sama nilainya, tapi juga sama gurunya, ada lah salah satu pelajaran yang gua udah kejar banget nilainya biar nilai gua kagak ngenes-ngenes amit, tapi teteup aja nilai gua jelek, sama kayak salah satu nilai gua yang bahkan tugas pun nggak gua kumpulin, ulangan pun nggak gua kerjain. Gua sakit. Lebih sakit lagi karena mengetahui kenyataan bahwa ada orang-orang yang *sorry, bukan maksud nyinggung atau bongkar aib* menurut gua kurang lazim mendapat peringkat di atas gua, but yeah dunia keras, keras banget ke gua kali ini, they're magically punya ranking diatas posisi ranking gua!
Knowing that ranking gua anjur lebur kayak bubur, orangtua langsung komplain, marah-marah ke gua karena nilai gua yang jelek, my parents have the mindset that the best thing depends on its worth! I've tried to explain them but they won't understand, but then.. I opened one secret about a server cheating at school, and they finally can understand, that the best thing of school is not JUST having good marks, but also having a good personality, loyality, commitment, and your own brain to get your shiny star of life.
Oke, sekian curhatan saya, lebay, absurd, nggak jelas, annoying, nyampah, sorry, kcaw~
