Catatan kematian

sudah sminggu Gus Dur meninggal.. cukup banyak catatan menarik yg diberikan orang-orang kepada sejarah hidupnya..
coretan tulisan ini bukan bermaksud menambahi catatan ttg kehidupan Gus Dur yg jelas2 banyak memberikan pencerahan kepada bangsa ini.

cuma habis sempat terdiam ketika habis membaca perkataan Franz Magnis Suseno tentang kematian di kompas hari ini .. (dia berbicara masih dalam konteks Gus Dur yg sudah tiada)..

dia mengingatkan kita bahwa bukan setelah kelahiran kehidupan menorehkan tinta-remark atas sejarah hidup seseorang. tp setelah kematianlah torehan itu sungguh berarti..

so..

bersiaplah untuk mati dan biarkan sejarah mencatat torehan apa yg sudah kita tuliskan dalam kehidupan.


(akhirnya setelah lama males nulis, mulai punya semangat lagi...thanks utk "kematian")

We easily get in trouble when we mix the two. Our ability to abstract is rather new and apparently a bit faulty. The cortex might construct a "meaning" for some lower level sensations which gives rise to faulty ...

Deceptive but Truthful: Is it Possible?

The Question is Raised This may sound like an oxymoron, however in light of the previous article, “Statement Analysis Put to the Test, a Case Study”, I felt this question should be addressed. With this statement – Deceptive but Truthful – I am raising the question; If a statement is found to have many indications of deception, does that mean that the event reported did not happen ? The answer is NO!
