Life is a struggle
Life is the struggle of those who do not fight must fight to not fight. This sentence I get from senior words. He is 84 years old is still active and actively mendawamkan friendship Brigadier General (P) Dr. Soerjono, SKM former Head of Health and Medical Services Police on one occasion convey the philosophy of life of the late Kapolri Police General Anton Sudjarwo.
Long time also I digest a sentence that has 3 vocabulary of struggle. Mr. Soer insists no one on this earth is not struggling. Not to fight he has to fight. This means to maintain the pattern of life berleha leha or relaxed life is defined as a life without struggle must be with effort. It's just that the struggle may not be bloody as a hardworking worker who wants to live up to the established level.
Let's take a moment lyrics to the song Dewa 19: Life Is Struggle
Today's victory is nothing
victory tomorrow
Today's failure is meaningless
tomorrow's failure
life is an endless struggle
You cry for yesterday
nothing fell from the sky
for free
all effort and prayer
the current truth
does not mean truth later
truth is not reality
Life is a struggle
not direction and purpose
life is a journey
Life is a struggle
Okay, let's look for the struggle from the work or work side. Sometimes in a day at a routine activity we forget that what is actually done is a struggle. The struggle for survival is what your brother says is below the poverty line. They struggle half-lives (because if half a day will be completely dead) scavenge for family sustenance. Here it appears clearly the value of the real fight, because if not struggling then life stalled.
Post-independence the meaning of struggle is no longer as thick as the revolution. When the revolutionary period of the vocabulary of the struggle is always in pairs with death. Fought or died. freedom or death. Sacrificing treasures and even souls is the primary choice for Indonesia to be free from the grip of the colonizers. The fighting value is known as the Spirit of Juang 45. The spirit of berkorbar is almost in the chest of all the people of Indonesia. The result was independence with the fall of the fighters. The dead do not need a sign of mercy.
The value of fight is now not felt anymore. The value of community struggle is now shifting to the value of fighting people per person. Every citizen is now busy taking care of himself and his family. Maybe that's what must happen because the challenge is not a common threat. After independence, the sense of nationalism faded. Who is to blame. Bung Karno and Bung Hatta as symbols of Indonesian independence in the early independence were still able to mobilize the people to combat ignorance and poverty.
National leaders who are able to inflame the spirit of the people are now rarely seen and heard. The leader is preoccupied with himself, preoccupied with the defense of the group and busy maintaining the position. What can be expected from such qualified leaders. Whereas the role of inflating the value of the struggle spirit 45 is on the shoulders of government officials in accordance with the class.
Unfinished Leadership qualities with personal affairs actually inconvenience the people. The people have to think and take care of the leader's problem. People stroked the chest and were forced to issue a stance of tolerance to see the leader's behavior. Under these circumstances can we judge that the expression in this article is true? that not fighting need a struggle, I do not know, ....
The point I want to convey here is that the struggle is a struggle. Every move is a life struggle. Do not want to struggle anymore because of desperation or saturation to see the economic condition and political geliat is the right of every citizen. It is worth worrying that the apathy becomes a matter of no concern in the sense that the people have not considered or lost respect for the leader. Waahuahu alam bisawab.
