Hati Hati ada Penyakit di Hatimu

Sobat semua tahu dengki? Wah parah bro kalau kita terbiasa dengki. Dengki & iri itu saudara kandung, hehe.  Hasad (iri) awalnya adalah rasa marah yang tidak bisa kita kendalikan. Nah, karena dengki masih saudara kandung dengan iri, maka sifat dengki itu merupakan buah dari kemarahan. Ada sebuah sabda dari Rasulullah SAW:
”Jauhilah olehmu sekalian sifat dengki, karena dengki itu memakan kebaikan seperti api melalap kayu bakar.” (HR. Abu Dawud, no. 4257)
Terkadang manusia itu menuruti jalannya prasangka, bener gak bro? Dimanapun ada ruang prasangka maka bisa menabung kebencian. Kalo menabung duit ato deposito sih menguntungkan, lah ini menabung kedengkian lama-lama benih dendam bisa tumbuh subur dalam hati. Yang namanya penyakit hati itu sangat membahayakan, taunya amal kebaikan kita masih banyak, eh ternyata sudah dimakan sama sifat dengki tersebut. Sama halnya sebuah nasehat yang menyatakan bahwa hampir saja kefakiran (kemiskinan) menjadikan kekufuran pada diri seseorang. Dan hasad (iri) itu mengalahkan takdir. Ihh ngeri yah, so waspadalah kawan semua dengan penyakit hati yang satu ini. Pada zaman kehidupan sahabat dulu, adanya saling berperang disebabkan oleh penyakit hasad dan dengki. Mohonlah pertolongan agar diberi kenikmatan, hajatnya dikabulkan, dengan cara tersembunyi agar orang lain tidak tahu. Karena adanya kenikmatan maka ada (memunculkan) hasad (iri) yang berasal dari orang lain. Sesungguhnya nikmat-nikmat Allah swt pasti ada musuhnya.
Kasus kejahatan saat ini salah satunya bersumber pada sifat hasad dan adanya kedengkian diantara pelaku dan korban. Hal-hal yang berpotensi memunculkan hasad antara lain adanya kebanggaan diri yang berlebihan. Berbangga diri yang tidak pada tempatnya dengan jumlahnya yang over. Saat ini orang mudah tersinggung yang disebabkan oleh masalah sepele, nah orang yang berbangga diri itu cenderung sombong dan angkuh. Orang sombong dan angkuh menimbulkan kedengkian bagi banyak orang. Maka hindari berbangga diri yang berlebihan, sehingga meminimalisir rasa hasad dari orang lain yang disebabkan sikap kesombongan kita.
Saling berlomba harta juga faktor yang memunculkan hasad dan dengki. Pertengkaran memperebutkan harta bisa terjadi antara saudara kandung apalagi yang tidak ada ikatan kerabat. Wah rumit sekali masalah hati ini, ternyata ujungnya bisa menimbulkan kejahatan. Terdapat 6 perkara yang bahkan menjadi sebab seseorang itu dimasukkan ke neraka sebelum dihisab. Perkara tersebut yaitu: pejabat yang dzolim, orang sukses yang sombong, ulama yang hasad, pejabat yang bodoh, orang arab yang fanatik, dan pedagang yang khianat.
Tingkatan hasad pada diri seseorang paling tidak ada 3 tingkatan antara lain:
Pertama, senang ketika orang lain hilang kenikmatan atau senang orang lain terkena musibah.
Kedua, ingin berpindah kenikmatan pada dirinya.
Ketiga, selalu tidak senang terhadap keadaan dirinya saat ini.
Akibatnya adalah munculnya perilaku yang buruk. Hatinya menjadi keruh, membuka aib orang yang didengki, dan akhirnya berghibah menjadi aktivitas rutinnya. Masalah ini layaknya penyakit yang harus dicarikan obat ataupun resep obat penyembuhannya. Usaha untuk mengobati penyakit hasad dan dengki antara lain:
-Menyadari bahwa hasad dan dengki itu adalah penyakit.
-Berusaha menghindari pangkal hatinya (hati dibersihkan dengan tombo ati 5 perkara).
-Berteman dan menjalin persahabatan dengan orang-orang shalih.
-Berlapang dada.
-Memohon kepada Allah swt agar hatinya dijauhkan dari penyakit hasad dan dengki.
Daripada menyuburkan sifat iri dan dengki alangkah baiknya belajar menumbuhkan sifat-sifat baik. Banyak sifat baik yang bisa kita teladani dari Rasulullah SAW. Salah satu sifatnya yaitu suka menolong orang lain yang membutuhkan. Sifat yang dimanifestikan amal perbuatan ini memberikan banyak manfaat baik bagi dirinya maupun orang yang dibantu. Sebagai pribadi muslim yang mampu memberikan manfaat kepada orang lain sudah pasti itu adalah prestasi yang membanggakan. Bahkan menyingkirkan duri di jalan adalah termasuk berbuat kebaikan. Dibalik itu semua, bagi pelaku memiliki dampak tersendiri yaitu adanya kepuasan batin. Bahkan terkadang membantu menyelesaikan masalahnya sendiri meskipun tidak secara langsung.
Ada sebuah cerita tentang seorang wanita yang merasakan manfaat dari membantu orang lain. Dikisahkan seorang wanita yang kehilangan anak laki-lakinya yang meninggal. Dalam kesedihan yang mendalam, dia pergi ke seorang kyai untuk mencari obat atas kesedihannya. Dia bertanya pada kyai tersebut, ibadah apa atau amalan apa, atau  ritual apa yang mampu menghidupkan anaklaki-lakinya kembali. Dia bertanya hal seperti itu karena saking putus asa dan benar-benar merasa kehilangan. Sang kyai tadi memberi nasihat agar wanita tersebut mencari biji sawi ajaib yang berasal dari rumah milik orang yang tidak pernah mengalami kesedihan sekalipun, artinya hidupnya bahagia selamanya dan tidak pernah sedih. Jika berhasil maka kesedihan wanita itu juga akan sirna.
Wanita tadi langsung melaksanakan nasehat dari sang kyai untuk mencari biji sawi ajaib. Pertama-tama dia mengunjungi rumah mewah. Dia bertamu kesana dan menanyakan apakah keluarga yang tinggal di rumah tersebut tidak pernah sedih, jawaban dari tuan rumah adalah tidak. Artinya meskipun rumahnya secara fisik mewah dan berfasilitas lengkap tetap saja ada kejadian yang memunculkan kesedihan. Bahkan dikatakan oleh tuan rumah jika dia (si wanita tamu) datang ke tempat yang salah dan carilah ke rumah lain saja. Sang wanita ikut prihatin setelah mendengar kronologi kejadian yang membuat tuan rumah sedih. Akhirnya dia membantu menghibur mereka.
Dia meninggalkan keluarga pemilik rumah mewah dan berpindah ke rumah-rumah lainnya untuk mencari biji sawi ajaib. Bukannya biji sawi yang dia dapatkan melainkan curhat peristiwa sedih dari masing-masing empunya rumah yang didatanginya. Semakin lama muncul ikatan psikologis, karena keterlibatan simpati dan empati dengan menghibur penghuni rumah dengan kesedihan yanng berbeda. Maka dia semakin piawai menghibur kesedihan orang lain, ia menjadi motivator tiap kali datang dari satu pintu ke pintu lainnya. Dia sendiri akhirnya lupa dengan misi awal yang mencari biji sawi ajaib yang berasal dari rumah yang tak kenal kata sedih. Dan faktanya dia tidak mampu merealisasikan misi dari pak kyai. Namun dengan cara menghibur dan membantu orang lain yang dalam kesusahan dan kesedihan, dengan sendirinya dia mengusir kesedihan dan kegundahan dalam hatinya. Bahkan dia sudah lupa akan kesedihannya.
Bisa diambil kesimpulan dari kisah ini bahwasanya membantu orang lain adalah suatu keharusan dan kewajiban manakala diri kita sendiri memiliki masalah, dan syaratnya harus tulus. Sikap meonolong dan membantu sesama ini adalah cerminan pribadi yang memberikan banyak manfaat pada orang lain. Yakinlah, dengan membantu dan memberi manfaat kepada orang lain, Allah swt akan menolong kita dan secara ajaib memberi kekuatan pada kita untuk menyelesaikan masalah diri kita sendiri. Ketulusan dan kerendahan hati dalam membantu menjadikan kita disukai Allah dan RasulNya, orang mukmin, muslim, secara umum semua orang akan menyukai kita karena  keberadaan kita yang membawa manfaat. Tentunya landasan imanlah yang harus diperkuat untuk kasus masalah penyakit hati hasad (iri) dan dengki. Landasan keimanan pula ketika melakukan amal kebaikan seperti membantu orang lain.
Berikut cerita wanita pencari biji sawi ajaib versi bahasa inggris:
Cure for sorrow
There is an old chinese tale about a woman whose only son died. In her grief, she went to the holy man and said, “ What prayers, what magical incantations do you have to bring my son back to life?” instead of sending her away or reasoning with her, he said to her, “Fetch me a mustard seed from a home that has never known sorrow. We will use it to drive the sorrow out of your life.” The woman went off at once in search of that magical mustard seed. She came first to a splendid mansion, knocked at the door and said, “I am looking for a home that has never known sorrow. Is this such a place? It is very important to me.
They told her, “You’ve certainly come to the wrong place,” and began to describe all the tragic incidents that recently had befallen them. The woman said to herself, “Who is better able to help these poor, unfortunate ppeople that I, who have had misfortune of my own?” she stayed to comfort them, then went on in search of a home that had never known sorrow. However wherever she turned, in hovels and other places, she found one tale after another of sadness and misfortune. She became so involved in ministering to other people’s grieves that ultimately she forgot about her quest for the magical mustard seed, never realising that it had, in fact, driven the sorrow out of her life.

  1. MENCINTAIMU
    Mungkin aku bukanlah cinta yang paling sempurna
    hanya sebatas hati yang ingin mencurah rasa padamu
    karena mencintaimu adalah keindahan dilangit hatimu
    dan dicintaimu adalah kesempurnaan kebahagiaan hatiku

    Aku mencintaimu
    seperti bunga mencintai keharumannya
    seperti hujan mencintai tetasan airnya
    seperti bulan mencintai langit malamnya
    seperti matahari yang mencintai cahayanya

    jantung ini takan pernah berdetak selamanya
    tapi jika Tuhan mengizinkan
    selama jantungku berdetak
    ijinkan mencintaimu dalam ketulusan

    Aku mencintaimu
    bukan karena aku ingin memiliki apa yang ada didirimu
    hanya ingin melihatmu tersenyum
    melukis rasa bahagia disetiap titian hidupmu

  2. Aku mencintaimu
    bukan karena aku kagum pada dirimu
    hanya ingin membuatmu sempurna
    meski aku tak bernah bisa sempurna

    Aku mencintaimu
    bukan kemarin atau saat ini
    tapi percayalah,
    kemarin, kini dan nanti
    adalah saat - saat dimana aku kan terus mencintaimu

  3. puisi cinta terpendam kepada kekasih hati

    Haruskah aku nyanyikan cintaku
    Agar kau dengar suara hatiku
    Haruskah aku lukis rasa sayangku
    Agar dapat kau lihat ketulusanku

    haruskah kutulis semua kerinduanku
    Agar kau sedikit saja mngerti Betapa aku menanti cintamu

    selembar doa ku layangkan padamu
    mengharap kau tetap disampingku
    menemani lingkar hidupku
    Meski aku tahu
    Aku terasa tak mampu memilikimu

    Hanya lewat guratan kata
    Kuhaturkan segenap rasa
    Yang kupendam dalam puncak asmara
    Takan hilang dalam hitungan masa

    Jika tuhan mngijinkan
    Ijinkan aku menyangimu dalam derai tawa
    Dalam tangis air mata
    ataupun
    Dalam cinta yang terpendam rahasia

  4. puisi cinta pendek paling romantis terbaru untuk kekasih maupun pacar :

    Letih hati ku merintih menahan perih
    sekeras usahaku setia padamu
    hanya kau anggap buih tanpa arti
    sebanyak bukti cintaku untukmu
    kau anggap hanya keterpaksaan

    haruskah nyawa yang aku korbankan
    agar kau percaya
    haruskah hidupku ku gadaikan
    agar kau tak lagi ragu
    haruskah ku buang harga diriku
    agar kau tak lagi gelisah

    Sebuah rasa yang tak bisa ku jelaskan padamu

    Cinta…
    Manakala hati merasakan sebuah sentuhan itu

    Ketika bibir ini mampu berucap kasih untuknya

    Ketika kaki ini mampu melangkah lebih kokoh untuknya

  6. Puisi Cintaku

    Dari balik kata

    Secercah makna menyeruak memancar cahaya
    Dari bingkai kata
    Yang tertahan untuk terucap

    Nyanyian rindu mengalun merdu
    Mengisi ruang kosong dalam kalbu

  7. Kau puisi cintaku
    Yang terangkai bukan dari rangkaian kata
    Tertulis indah di lembaran hatiku
    Takan terhapus meski musim berhenti berganti
    Takan pudar meski cahaya redup dari dunia ini

    Kau nyanyian cintaku
    Yang aku dendangkan dengan nada rindu
    Kuagungkan dengan kenangan sahdu
    Tentang cintaku padamu
    Tentang cerita yang takan berlalu

    Aku ingin kau tahu
    Telah lama cinta ini terpendam
    Di kubur rasa yang tak berani di ungkapkan
    Bumi kerinduan semakin mengimpitku
    Memaksaku menceritakan tentang kisah

    Disini ada sekeping hati
    Yang menanti tanpa henti
    Hadirmu kasih menemaniku di sini

    Memang tidak ada yang abadi
    Begitupun cintaku
    Tapi di sini ada sekeping hati
    Yang kupersembahkan untuk meminang cintamu

    Hanya ketulusan hatiku
    Yang menjadi mahar cintaku untukmu
    Meski tak berharga dengan rupiah
    Tak terukur dengan karat emas
    Tak terhias dengan tahta mahkota

    Cinta ini adalah mahar cintaku untukmu
    Yang akan aku persembahkan
    Untuk meminang hatimu

  13. CINTA BUKANLAH SEGALANYA

    Cinta itu seperti dewa
    Merasuh kedalam jiwa
    Yang membuat para penganutnya lupa
    Lupa akan apa arti sebuah cinta

    Terkadang pikiran keji dan gila menghampiri karena cinta
    Bahkan rela melakukan apa saja demi cinta
    Tidakkah kau sadar bahwa cinta itu bukanlah segalanya
    cinta itu hanya sebuah rasa yang dititipkan sementara oleh-NYA

    Ingatlah bahwa cinta suci itu takan pernah menyakiti
    Cinta itu suci akan selalu melindungi
    Ketika di katakan cinta suci namun menyakiti
    maka itu adalah duri yang harus kau hindari

    Cinta itu bukan tuhan yang harus kau ikuti
    Tapi ketika kau menumbuhkan rasa cinta di hati
    Maka sudah sepantasnya kau pasrahkan pada sang pemilik diri
    Ya...! Tuhanku..! jagalah ketulusan cinta ini..

    Bila hati telah kosong; tanpa tuan empunya
    Bila aku tak lagi menjadi pemilik
    Beri aku kesempatan: menerima jawaban
    Kepastian pelaminan yang datang
    Ku begitu cinta
    Padamu sayang
    Sangat
    Uhh
    Mengapa terluka?
    Menyayat tali jembatan
    Jurang menganga lebar; sangat
    Sekedar lambaian tangan -hanya hayal-
    Sorak panggilan teredam hembus angin deras
    Tak mampu kulawan sebab luka semakin membesar
    Perih

    1.The Bear and The Two Friends
    Once two friends were walking through the forest. They knew that anything dangerous can happen to them at any time in the forest. So they promised each other that they would remain united in any case of danger.
    Suddenly, they saw a large bear approaching them. One of the friends at once climbed a nearby tree. But the other one did not know how to climb. So being led by his common sense, he lay down on the ground breathless, pretending to be a dead man.
    The bear came near the man lying on the ground. It smelt in his ears, and slowly left the place. Because the bears do not touch the dead creatures.Now the friend on the tree came down and asked his friend on the ground, “Friend, what did the bear tell you into your ears?” The other friend replied, “The bear advised me not to believe a false friend.”

    Suatu ketika ada dua orang teman yang sedang berjalan melintasi hutan. Mereka sadar bahwa hal berbahaya apa saja bisa terjadi pada mereka setiap saat di hutan itu. Maka mereka saling berjanji bahwa mereka akan tetap bersatu dalam setiap bahaya yang mengancam.
    Tiba-tiba, mereka melihat seekor beruang besar yang mendekati mereka. Salah satu teman langsung saja memanjat pohon. Tetapi yang lain tidak tahu bagaimana cara memanjat pohon. Maka iapun befikir dan memutuskan untuk berbaring di tanah dan berpura-pura menjadi orang mati.
    Beruang datang mendekati orang yang tergeletak di tanah itu. Beruang itu mengendus dekat telinganya, dan pelan-pelan meninggalkan orang itu. Beruang tidak mau mau dengan orang mati. Sekarang temannya yang ada pada pohon itu turun dan bertanya, “Teman, apa yang beruang katakan kepadamu?” Temannya itu menjawab, “Beruang itu memberi saran agar tidak percaya terhadapa teman yang tidak setia.”

    The bear came near the man lying on the ground. It smelt in his ears, and slowly left the place. Because the bears do not touch the dead creatures.Now the friend on the tree came down and asked his friend on the ground, “Friend, what did the bear tell you into your ears?” The other friend replied, “The bear advised me not to believe a false friend.”

    Once upon a time, there were two close friends who were walking through the forest together. They knew that anything dangerous can happen any time in the forest. So they promised each other that they would always be together in any case of danger.

    Suddenly, they saw a large bear getting closer toward them. One of them climbed a nearby tree at once. But unfortunately the other one did not know how to climb up the tree. So being led by his common sense, he lay down on the ground breathless and pretended to be a dead man.

    The bear came near the one who was lying on the ground. It smelt in his ears, and slowly left the place because the bears do not want to touch the dead creatures. After that, the friend on the tree came down and asked his friend that was on the ground, "Friend, what did the bear whisper into your ears?"

  27. (154) Fox and A Cat

    One day a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who was a conceited creature, boasted how clever she was. 'Why, I know at least a hundred tricks to get away from our mutual enemies, the dogs,' she said.

    'I know only one trick to get away from dogs,' said the cat. 'You should teach me some of yours!'
    'Well, maybe some day, when I have the time, I may teach you a few of the simpler ones,' replied the fox airily.

    Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance. The barking grew louder and louder - the dogs were coming in their direction! At once the cat ran to the nearest tree and climbed into its branches, well out of reach of any dog. 'This is the trick I told you about, the only one I know,' said the cat. 'Which one of your hundred tricks are you going to use?'

    The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use. Before she could make up her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the fox and tore her to pieces.

    Moral : A single plan that works is better than a hundred doubtful plans.

    One hot day, an ant was seeking for some water. After walking around for a moment, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell unintentionally into the water.

    She could have sunk if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her. Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly put off a leaf from a tree and dropped it immediately into the water near the struggling ant. Then the ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up there. Soon it carried her safely to dry ground.

    Not long after at that, there was a hunter nearby who was throwing out his net towards the dove, hoping to trap it in this way.

    Guessing what he should do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter dropped his net and the dove flew away quickly from this net.

  31. THESIS : A lot of people, especially young people, go through the day without having breakfast. Many people believe that it is not necessary, or they say that they don’t have time for that, and begin their day with no meal. I believe that everyone should eat breakfast before going to their activities. The purpose of this paper is to show the importance of breakfast, especially for students.

    ARGUMENT 1 :The first reason why you should eat breakfast before going to school is for your health. When you skip breakfast and go to school, you are looking for a disease because it’s not healthy to have an empty stomach all day long. It’s very important to have a meal and not let your stomach work empty. All you are going to get is gastritis and a lot of problems with your health if you don’t eat breakfast.

    ARGUMENT 2 :Another reason for eating breakfast is because you need food for to do well in your classes. You body and your brain are not going to function as good as they could because you have no energy and no strength. When you try to learn something and have nothing in your stomach, you are going to have a lot of trouble succeeding. A lot of people think that they should not eat because they are going to feel tired, but that’s not true. Breakfast is not a very big meal, and on the contrary, you’re going to feel tired if you don’t have breakfast because you have spent the entire previous night without food.

    ARGUMENT 3: The last reason to have breakfast every day is because you can avoid diseases if you eat some breakfast in the morning. If you don’t eat, you are going to get sick, and these diseases will have a stronger effect on you because you’re going to get sick easier than people who have breakfast every day.

    RECOMMENDATION : You have to realize that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and you cannot skip it without consequences for your health, your school and your defense mechanism. It is better to wake up earlier and have a good breakfast that run to school without eating anything. It is time for you to do something for your health, and eating breakfast is the better way to start your day.

  32. THESIS : I am sure that you know that smoking harms your body. Then why do you continue smoking? Maybe you do it because you haven’t really become conscious about all the effects that smoking has. There are a lot of reasons why you shouldn’t smoke. Some of them are that smoking affects your health, that you spend a lot of money on cigarettes, and that when you smoke you are not respecting people around you.

    ARGUMENT 1 : The first reason why you shouldn’t smoke is that smoking affects your health. If you smoke, your physical condition will be negatively affected, so it will be very difficult for you to succeed in sports. Also, smoking produces lethal diseases like cancer and reduces the length and quality of your life. Maybe you don’t notice all the physical effects of smoking immediately, but you surely will be sorry one day.

    ARGUMENT 2 : The second reason why you shouldn’t smoke is because of all the money that you spend on it. Maybe you start smoking only when someone offers you a cigarette, but there will be a day when you will feel the need of a cigarette. By this time, you will pay whatever to smoke, and each time you will smoke more, so you will spend more money. All the money you would spend on cigars could have be spent in something better, don’t you think?

    ARGUMENT 3 : The last reason why you shouldn’t smoke is out of respect for the people around you. When you smoke, you not only harm yourself, but you also harm all the people around you. So you mustn’t be selfish; you should at least avoid smoking in front of people who don’t smoke. Also, many people don’t like the cigarette’s smell, so they won’t enjoy your company. Would you like that?

    RECOMMENDATION : I have said just some reasons of why you shouldn’t smoke, so I hope that now those of you who smoke are able to think a little and try to make a smart decision. In addition to all the reasons I’ve said, I would like you to think about how much you love yourself and then whether you want to continue harming yourself. Think also about all the people who love you, like your family who doesn’t want to see you suffering or sick. If you decide to continue smoking, what a pity. But if you decide to stop smoking, congratulations! Remember that "If you can dream it, you can do it.

  34. THESIS : In the past, I have never been inclined to participate in sports. Honestly, I didn’t like it, but many persons whom I lived with kept telling me everyday how good it was. Since the peer pressure was growing, I decided to go to the gym. It wasn’t until then that I could really understand people when they said exercise really helped a person get organized and keep yourself in a healthy physically and mentally.

    ARGUMENT 1 : For starters, when you are a lazy person, it is difficult to take the first step, but it is all a matter of committing yourself to something that will provide you a lot of positive feedback. Once you start doing exercise and observing positive results, you actually enjoy it. It takes a lot of effort and strong will, but it's worth it. The principal thing to do is to participate in an activity you like. If you do you’ll start organizing your day in a way that enables you to do everything you have to, including exercising. You will no longer be a person stressed-out without time to carry on with all your activities.

    ARGUMENT 2: Second, it is obvious that once you exercise you will have a better condition. You will be healthier in a physical way. It is probable that you will lose weight and your muscles will get stronger and stronger. Your body will feel good, full of energy and it will respond immediately to any action you want to do, any activity that has to be done with high spirits.

    ARGUMENT 3: The third reason why exercising is good is that it affects you positively in a mental and psychological way. Doing exercise helps you set specific goals which along with strong will can be achieved. When you do that, you are aware of your abilities, accept your weaknesses, and your self-esteem goes up. Any sport distracts you because it helps you not to think about school, friends, problems, among other things. It brings you time to think about yourself and no one else. It helps you keep your mind busy and to avoid dangerous habits like drugs.

    RECOMMENDATION : Doing exercise is very important to any person of any age. The positive effects of exercising, which I’ve already mentioned, are like a chain. Once you do a sports activity that you like, you get organized; therefore, you start doing things the right way and get enormous benefits which make you feel good as a whole human being. You start living your life happily.

  35. THESIS : Going out in the burning sun without sensible protection is extremely dangerous. There are many reasons why you shoud stay safe from the burning sun. Some of them are you can get sunburnt, you can get skin cancers, and you can damage your eyesight.

    ARGUMENT 1 : The first reason is that you can get extremely sunburn. Sunburn is the skin’s reaction to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. You can see sunlight and feel heat (infrared radiation), but you can’t see or feel UV radiation. It can damage your skin even on cool, cloudy days.

    ARGUMENT 2 : The second reason is that you can get horrible skin cancers because of damaging light rays. In Australia, over many people die from skin cancer because they do not stay safe in the burning sun. Although this can be cured, the prevention of getting burnt is a better solution than curing this skin cancer.

    ARGUMENT 3 : Another reason is that too much time out in bright sunlight can damage your eyesight. The intense ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun damage sensitive cells in the eyes, eventually affecting vision. Experts say it is difficult to isolate the exact amount of damage that UV radiation imposes on the eye over a long period. However, a number of studies have shown that the effects build up and may increase the chance of developing eye problems later in life. These may include cataracts, a clouding of the lens of the eye.

    RECOMMENDATION : The last, after knowing all dangers of the burning sun without sensible protection, I recommend you to wear a hat which can help your face, head, and hair stay safe in the sun. You should also put on a shirt which can protect you from many skin deseases, and you had better use sunscreen and wear sunglasses to prevent eye problems.

  36. THESIS : In the past years the use of the television and the internet has increased; this situation has caused many people to change their likes and the way that they enjoy their free time. Because of television and the internet, many people spend less time reading, so the purpose for this essay is to present reasons why people should read just for pleasure. The reasons that I give you are quite simple: to improve your knowledge, to expand your general culture, to have more fun, to make your imagination fly, to find new ways to express your ideas, and finally to expand your vocabulary.

    ARGUMENT 1 : The first reason that I give you to enjoy reading is that when you read, you can expand your knowledge and also your culture. There are a lot of good books in which you can find history, novels, tragedies, comedies and a variety of other themes. You can see that people who read more often frequently have a bigger knowledge of life and also a bigger perspective of their environment. I think that fact gives them an advantage over all others who do not read frequently.

    ARGUMENT 2 : The second reason to read more often is that through books you can have fun and even travel in your imagination. Children have not yet lost the ability of getting into their dreams, and because of this, in their first years the parents read a lot of tales in which they use their imagination. Adults should try to keep this ability, so we do not forget the importance of the use of the imagination. The imagination also represents a tool that could help you to develop your professional career in a creative way.

    ARGUMENT 3 : Finally, the third and the most important feature that reading offers you is that it does not matter the age that you have, you always could expand your vocabulary and the ways to express your ideas to the others in a simple and correct form. By the time you can improve the kind of books that you read, there are a lot of categories, so you will never stop learning from the pleasure of reading. People who know how to choose a book generally have the capability of choosing a formal book in which they can find
    formal grammatical structures and obviously a formal vocabulary. All these things allow them to gain greater fluency in their communication.

    RECOMMENDATION : In conclusion, I recommend that you enjoy reading more often. There are excellent reasons for doing it; you just have to want to expand your knowledge and your culture, to improve your imagination and also your vocabulary. I know that we should evolve with the technology; that is, it is good to know how to navigate in the internet, but we must also not forget the books. Try to choose good books at the beginning, and then I ensure you that you never will stop reading.

  37. THESIS : Indonesia is a culturally-diverse country. Many different religions and cultures from many provinces are now seen living side by side in many places. One of the biggest questions facing Indonesian today is how to deal with a culturally diverse citizenry and then promote unity.

    ARGUMENT 1 : Therefore, Indonesians should appreciate differences among culture for the following reasons. Firstly, Indonesia is vulnerable to separation for its archipelago and culture diversity. Raising tolerance among people is the best way to maintain the unity among differences. Many ways or cultures of living are equally legal, even if they are not regarded as normal by some people. If a society claims to be tolerant of personal choice, then it must respect the personal choice to retain their heritage. Then, unity of the nation can be preserved.

    ARGUMENT 2 : Secondly, Indonesians must recognize that every culture has different customs and beliefs. Thus, people are forbidden to make judgments of comparative value, for it is measuring something unmeasured. A plurality of nations, especially in the modern era, can allow for cultural development and cultural exchange that benefits both parties. The cross-cultural understanding among cultures makes the world a better place and preserves the unity of the nation.

    ARGUMENT 3 : Lastly, raising nationalism is one way to preserve unity of the nation. It is a sense of fellow feeling between group members. This promotes cooperation and social cohesion within the group. The sense of social cooperation makes welfare, social security and medical programs much more likely and stronger.

    RECOMMENDATION : Cultural differences are sometime a sensitive matter for people. Indonesian people must teach younger generation about the importance of the cultural identity and nationalism to promote unity of the nation.
