3 saringan Socrates

April 18th, 2008 by lonelyluna

Di jaman Yunani kuno, Socrates adalah seorang
terpelajar dan intelektual yang terkenal reputasinya
karena pengetahuan dan kebijaksanannya yang tinggi.
 
Suatu hari seorang pria berjumpa dengan Socrates dan
berkata,  "Tahukah anda apa yang baru saja saya dengar
mengenai salah seorang teman anda?"
 
"Tunggu sebentar," jawab Socrates.  "Sebelum
memberitahukan saya sesuatu, saya ingin anda melewati
sebuah ujian kecil.
 
Ujian tersebut dinamakan Ujian Saringan Tiga Kali."
 
"Saringan tiga kali?" tanya pria tersebut. "Betul,"
lanjut Socrates.
 
"Sebelum anda mengatakan kepada saya mengenai teman
saya, mungkin merupakan ide yang bagus untuk
menyediakan waktu sejenak dan menyaring apa yang akan
anda katakan. Itulah kenapa saya sebut sebagai Ujian
Saringan Tiga Kali.
 
Saringan yang pertama adalah KEBENARAN.
Sudah pastikah anda bahwa apa yang anda akan katakan
kepada saya adalah benar?"
"Tidak," kata pria tersebut,"sesungguhnya saya baru
saja mendengarnya dan ingin memberitahukannya kepada
anda". "Baiklah," kata Socrates. "
Jadi anda sungguh tidak tahu apakah hal itu benar atau tidak."
 
Sekarang mari kita coba saringan kedua yaitu :KEBAIKAN
Apakah yang akan anda katakan kepada saya mengenai
teman saya adalah sesuatu yang baik?" "Tidak,
sebaliknya, mengenai hal yang buruk".
"Jadi," lanjut Socrates, "anda ingin mengatakan kepada
saya sesuatu yang buruk mengenai dia, tetapi anda
tidak yakin kalau itu benar.
 
Anda mungkin masih bisa lulus ujian selanjutnya,yaitu: KEGUNAAN
Apakah apa yang anda ingin beritahukan kepada saya
tentang teman saya tersebut akan berguna buat saya?"
"Tidak, sungguh tidak," jawab pria tersebut. "Kalau
begitu," simpul Socrates," jika apa yang anda
ingin beritahukan kepada saya… tidak benar, tidak
juga baik, bahkan tidak berguna untuk saya, kenapa
ingin menceritakan kepada saya ?"
 
Sebuah panah yang telah melesat dari busurnya dan
membunuh jiwa yang tak bersalah, dan kata-kata yang
telah diucapkan yang menyakiti hati seseorang,
keduanya tidak pernah bisa ditarik kembali.

Love is ….

January 16th, 2006 by lonelyluna

Learn to love the people who are with you at present.
Forget the people in the past and thank them for
hurting you,
which led you to love the people you have right
now.

When you love someone, you’ll do crazy things
you can’t explain,

you’ll deny the truth and believe in lies.

When you love someone, you sacrifice, give
everything you’ve got and don’t think twice.

You risk it all no matter what.

Everything in life is temporary because everything
changes.

That is why it takes courage to love, knowing it
might end anytime…having faith will make it last

Friends are not the one who laugh when you laugh
and cry when you cry.

They are the ones who make you laugh and stop
you from crying.

Love is the feeling we fall in and out of, and
everytime we fall of, we learn to hold on tighter…hoping that next time, we may never have to let go.

They say when love knocks at your door, open it.

But do you know that sometimes love enters
through the back door and before you begin to
notice it,

it’s on it’s way out.

Have you ever loved only to let it go?

Have you hated someone and loved him so?

Have you ever missed someone so bad it made
you cry?

Have you ever seen someone left alone without
knowing why?

True : Lucky is the man who wins the first love of a
woman

but luckier is the woman who wins the last love of
a man.

Love is not the right word to say when you fell
guilty nor the right word to say when you like a
person

but love really matters when we share our
thoughts, our minds and our hearts.

Life has a way of changing things but not the joy
that friendship brings,

for friendship is like the shinning moon makes
each night a brighter one.

Love is not for beauty or color of skin

but for a heart that is loyal within, for beauty fades
and…

The skin would grow old but a heart that is loyal
will never turn cold.

If someone hurts you, betrays you or break your
heart,

forgive them for they have helped you learn about
trust

and the importance of being cautios to whom you
open your heart.

A love is easy to feel, so hard to expain, so easy
to get, so hard to let go,

so easy to spell, so hard to define…

and yet everyone is still taking the risk,

That’s love..

We are all a little weird and life’s a little
weird and
when we find someone whose weirdness is

compatible with ours,

we join up with them and fall in love in mutual
weirdness and call it LOVE

Never be afraid to fall in love. It may hurt alot, it
may gives aches and pain

but if you don’t follow your heart, in the end you
will cry evenmore for not giving love a chance

Don’t run ahead of God. Let Him direct your steps.

He has plans and He has His time. God’s clock is
never one minute early nor one minute late.

It always strikes right on time.

If someone love you, love them back not only
because they love you,

but also because they are teaching you to love and
opening your heart

and eyes to things you have never seen or felt
without them

The past is meant to be used as a tool for the
future.

Bad experience indeed make you bitter

but the lesson learned should make you better.

On letting go, it hurt to see someone you love
happy with somebody else

but wouldn’t it hurt you more to see that person
unhappy… with you?

When you find arms that will hold you at your
weakest,

eyes that will see at your ugliest,

lips that will kiss you in both instances,

and a heart that will love yoou at your worst

then you have found TRUE LOVE

Someday, someone might come into your life and
love you in a way you always wanted.

If your someday was yesterday… LEARN

If your someday is tomorow… HOPE

If your someday is today.. CHERISHShowletter
