Are you sure you are my friend?

Maaf banget kali ini aku mau curcol. Habis udah cerita ke my best friend masih tetep ngeganjel di hati. Jadi blog sebagai jurnal aku, aku manfaatkan untuk curcol hari ini. Buat yang nggak tertarik silahkan close halaman ini.
Semester ini karena udah mulai peminatan, aku dan teman-temanku banyak beda matakuliah. Ada 4 peminatan di teknik elektro UNJ, pembangkit, instalasi, transmisi/distribusi, dan otomasi. Teman-temanku banyak yang ambil instalasi dan otomasi. Aku memberanikan diri berjalan nggak sesuai teman-teman tapi sesuai hati, aku ambil pembangkit. Belum lagi aku mengambil mata kuliah yang nilaiku masih belum B atau A. Aku orangnya perfeksionis,  jadi kalau ada nilai C aku ulang mata kuliahnya. Makin banyak lah perbedaan antara aku dan teman-teman aku.
Ada sebuah mata kuliah Penggunaan dan Pengaturan Motor (PPM) yang merupakan mata kuliah praktik. Karena jadwal PPM di kelas aku bentrok dengan mata kuliah yang sedang aku ulang dan mata kuliah peminatan, aku mengambil kuliah PPM di kelas lain bersama teman ku, sebut saja A karena A juga mengulang mata kuliah yang sama denganku, Rangkaian Listrik (RL).
Setiap aku diberi info kuliah sama adik kelas yang bareng kuliah RL aku selalu sampaikan ke A kabarnya. Aku selalu sms dia. Dan kalau ada perubahan jam kuliah, aku selalu mempertimbangkan dia.
Setiap aku sms A, dia nggak pernah bales. Awalnya aku masih maklum, mungkin dia nggak punya pulsa. Lalu ada perubahan jadwal PPM yang berubah dan perlu dikonformasi aku bisa atau nggaknya, saat aku perlu dia untuk diskusi, dia nggak balas sms aku. Padahal kemarin saat aku sms dia dimana? Tiba-tiba kami ketemu saat baru aku send smsnya. Dan smsnya baru sampai ke dia saat kami sedang mengobrol. Dan dia BALAS sms itu dengan "di samping lo"! (sumpah itu nggak penting banget) Dia bilang dia punya pulsa hanya untuk emergency. Coba deh, lebih penting mana bales smsnya!?
Dan saat aku temui dia di kampus, dia hanya ketawa-ketawa aja. Dia bilang dia mau ikut yg teman-teman sekelas aja, nggak mau yg kelas lain. Padahal jam segitu aku ada kuliah peminatan! Akhirnya aku nggak masuk kelas PPM hari itu yang bareng teman sekelasku. Jelas aku ketinggalan 1 kali praktik kan? Dan aku mau tetap masuk kelas yang lain aku nggak punya partner, karena awalnya partner aku ya si A. Dan kelompok yg kelas lain itu sudah pas.
Bener-bener deh itu bikin aku nangis! Sekarang aku bingung mau gimana. Ikut yang kelas aku bareng sama A, aku sudah ketinggalan satu kali masuk dan belum lagi aku harus kuliah peminatan. Mau ikut yang kelas lain aku nggak ada partnernya. Rasanya tuh pengen nangis. Dia begitu jahat nggak peduli sama aku. Egois hanya memikirkan dirinya sendiri. Padahal selama ini aku selalu baik sama dia, selalu mempertimbangkan dirinya sebelum membuat keputusan tentang kuliah yang bareng sama dia. Dia selalu mengeluhkan temanku yang egois hanya memikirkan diri sendiri dan sekarang dia yang seperti itu. Belum lagi betapa pelitnya dia sama pulsa! Balas sms paling hanya 150 rupiah kan?! Apa sulitnya coba?
Aku jadi bingung apa yang harus aku lakukan. Aku bukan tipe yang suka konfrontasi dan cari ribut sama dia. Apa yang harus aku lakukan?

[random] dialogue between professor and student

Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theatre became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

P.S.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?

Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.

By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.
