RENUNGAN NATAL
Natal, enggo ka seh natal simbaru, seh ka tahun simbaru. Soal Natal enda soal
kai kin e ndia teku ka senembas, maksudku arti praktisna man kemanusiaan umumna
atau kalak kristen khususna. Man kemanusiaan enda kai kin e, ntah bali ka nge
kerina bagi sikataken Dalai Lama, the very motion of our life is towards
happiness nina. Jadi kai pe sibahan, edi me maksudna atau maksudta
sekalk-sekalak. Tetapi dalam mencari kebahagiaan tadi ada juga yang memakai
cara lain yaitu dengan menyakiti atau berbuat tidak adil terhadap yang lain,
atau bagi sikatakenna, people inflict pain on others in the selfish persuit of
their happiness or satisfaction. Teringet aku contoh melala bas negerinta,
korupsi sebanyak mungkin duit rayat, atau ngasak taneh kalak Karo bagi Juma
Tombak atau Bangun Purba, atau menghalangi pemekaran daerah kalak Karo gelah
ula bene kesempaten ngasak ndai. Enda kerina ibas pengertian inflict pain on
others in persuit happiness too. Jadi piah nungkun ka
nge bas ukurku, apai nge ndia happiness si man ayaken enda ndai adi arah
apaipe banci nge kapken ibentasi. Tapi si nomor dua enda la kapken true
happiness nina Dalai Lama. Payo nge teku, kuidah uga nasibna kalak koruptor si
interogasi KPK, dari harga diri setinggi langit jadi sekilo tahi kerbau. Atau
nasib Bagir Manan si ncabut hak ulayat kalak Karo atas Juma Tombak, atau the
gang of 3 Deliserdang atas Bangun Purba, mekarkan Sergai untuk sepupu Rizal
Nurdin Eri Nuradi tapi menjaga ’persatuan deliserdang’ (bupati pendatang Amri
Tambunan) ketika mau dimekarkan Delihulu Karo. Kerina ndarami kebahagiaan ndai.
Kalak Karo salu mempertahankan hakna, kalak pendatang salu ngasak tanah ulayat
Karo emkap salu salin kata Dalai Lama inflict pain on Karo people in selfish
persuit of their happiness/satisfaction.
Ibas hubungen wari-wari suci enda (natal atau lebaran) teringet ka aku sada
kisah perdalanen sekalak sosilog Phil Zuckerman PhD ku Scandinavia (2008),
banci i nehen bas youtube YouTube Clip , ije Zuckerman bas tulisenna tentang
negeri Denmark ras Swedia nina:
"…their overall rates of violent crime – such as murder, aggravated assault,
and rape – are among the lowest on earth. Yet the majority of Danes and Swedes
do not believe that God is "up there," keeping diligent tabs on their behavior…
In fact, most Danes and Swedes don’t even believe in the very notion of "sin."
Almost nobody in Denmark and Sweden believes that the Bible is divine in
origin. And the rate of weekly church attendance in these Nordic nations is the
lowest on earth…"
"When they say they are "Christian" they are just referring to a cultural
heritage and history. When asked what it means to be Christian, they said
'being kind to others, taking care of the poor and sick, and being a good and
moral person.' They almost never mentioned God, Jesus, or the Bible in their
explanation of Christian identity. When I specifically asked these Nordic
Christians if they believed that Jesus was the Son of God or the Messiah, they
nearly always said no – usually without hesitation. Did they believe that Jesus
was born of a virgin or that he rose from the grave? Such queries were usually
met with genuine laughter – as through the mere asking was rather silly."
Kubandingken ras negerinta maka payo nge bagi kesimpulen situlisken Zuckerman.
Kerina nge kalak enda ngaku kristen, tapi tergejap nge bagi semacam tradisi
saja, bage me bas ngerayaken wari natal pe. Siteridah jelas emkap tradisi
pasang pohon natal, makanan natal, bali lalap nai-nai nari asa gundari. Tradisi
ku gereja banci ikataken lanai lit. Encage kubandingken ka korupsina, jarang
sibegi, . . . negerinta Indonesia jagoan bas korupsi atau ’cari kebahagiaan’
ndai, bagepe jagoan kang bas muji Tuhan. Jadi piah nungkun kang bas ukurku, lit
kin hubungenna jagoan muji Dibata enda ras jagoan korupsi? Atau jagoan
kejahatan sidebanna?
Ibas hubungenna ras demokrasi nina,
Can religion exist alongside of democracy?
Depends. Weak religion -- yes. Strong religion -- no, because strong,
fundamentalist religion always leads to theocracies...
I negeri Skandinavia enda (weak religion) teridah nangat uga tuhuna
kesimpulenna idatas. Nginget kesimpulen Zuckerman ras mbandingken perkembangan
demokrasi bagepe korupsi i negerinta, . . . mbue denga si man ukuren.
Enda ka sitik renungan wari Natal enda
Salam Natal ras mejuah-juah kita kerina
