Balapan liar di jalan terbukti bukan menjagokan si pembalap tetapi merenggut nyawa. Jalan umum bukan tempat balapan tetapi tetap saja jalan itu digunakan untuk arena balap.

Tiga tahun terakhir, sejak 2009, sudah 195 orang tewas di arena balap liar. Nyawa manusia melayang begitu saja akibat balapan ini. Korban tentu saja tidak hanya anggota balap tetapi juga pengguna jalan lainnya.

Saya termasuk orang yang tidak suka mendengar deru motor keras pada siang atau malam hari. Rumah kami terletak di pinggir jalan raya yang cukup ramai. Setiap kali mendengar bunyi motor dengan deruan yang keras, ingin rasanya menghentikan motor itu. Yang lebih menjengkelkan lagi ketika malam hari. Ketika semua orang di pinggir jalan itu ingin terlelap, tiba-tiba segerombolan motor itu menderu keras. Wah….sekali lagi ingin menghentikan mereka.

Andai aku polisi, aku menertibkan mereka. Aku menggiring mereka ke tempat balapan resmi. Biarkan warga berinstirahat dengan tenang. Tetapi sampai kini, mereka tetap saja berkeliaran dengan bebas. Andai aku, tokoh masyarakat di kompleks perumahan kami, aku akan memasang portal di jalan itu. Dengan itu diharapkan mereka tidak lagi menggunakan jalan itu untuk arena balap.

Ini mimpi saya. Faktanya sampai saat ini korban balapan liar itu masih saja terjadi. Mengapa polisi masih belum bisa memberantas kejahatan ini? Katanya pengayom masyarakat tetapi ternyata belum bisa mengayomi. Katanya, pembalap juga diduga dari oknum TNI. Mengapa ini terjadi. Mengapa polisi di negeri ini lamban sekali menangani kasus semacam ini? Bayangkan sudah 3 tahun berlalu, kasus balapan liar masih terjadi dan jumlah korban tidak berkurang. Kalau polisi mengaku tidak mampu, mengapa tidak bisa belajar dari polisi di luar negeri? Akuilah kelemahan diri dan mau belajar dari polisi sukses di luar negeri. Kalau mampu lakukan dengan berani. Jangan biarkan nyawa berikutnya terjadi.

Satu kasus selesai maka kasus berikutnya otomatis berkurang. Sebaliknya satu kasus ditangguhkan kasus berikutnya siap terjadi.

The Samaritan Women

picture from google
The reading that we read today (Sunday 23 March 2014) is very long. There are 38 verso (John 4:5-42). But, I think it is very interesting to read. Jesus asked for the Samaritan women for a drink. “Give me a drink,” said Jesus. They were meeting at the Jacob’s well. It is very interesting because Jesus is the Jew and the women is the Samaritan. Two different cultures.

I think the point of this reading is the salvation for all human, all cultures. Jesus is a salvation. He invited the Samaritan women to leave the perception between the Samaritan and the Jew. Jesus comes to the world for all. Like He gives the water of eternal life for all.

But it is not easy. We seldom bring the our perception to others when we meet one another. I think we can leave our perception. We live in the big world. We try to speak, to meet, to make the relation one another liberally without the our negative perception.

This reading is important to read by them that lives in Italia or America or Australia, where there was many persons come from the different cultures. Through this reading, Jesus invited us to life the our daily live without perception. Like He shows to us the conversation with the Samaritan women. Like He shows to us the conversation with the Samaritan women. (Gordi)

Three Tents at Mountain

Today is the Second Sunday of Lent, 16 March 2014. I read the first reading at St Cristina Church. I hope through this task my Italian Language is very good. I think it is also the hope of Father Luciano. But it is a small things today.

The big thing is the reading that we listened. The reading from Mattew 17:1-9. It speaks about the three tents at the mountain. There was three persons at the mountain, Peter, John, and James and also Jesus.

Jesus was praying and then he was changing his body (the transfiguration). All his body was white. Peter and his friends like stay there, like the situation. Peter asked for Jesus to make three tents. One for Jesus, others for Moses and Elijah that appeared to them.

We are the person like Peter, John, and James that like to stay at the comforzone. I like living in a better place for me. But, Jesus invited us today to change our life. Like he changes his body. It is the symbol of changing.

At the time of Lent we can change our attitude, our habit. We can pray for others that have the big suffering. We can offer a part of our mine to others that need it.

It is one of the good habit. Changes yourself and then changes the others. (Gordi)
