Messages from golden wedding anniversary

The wedding anniversary was historically derived from Roman Empire tradition, where a husband crown his wife with a silver wreath on their twenty-fifth anniversary, and a gold wreath on their fiftieth anniversary. In the present, generally, it is called the silver wedding anniversary for 25th years of marriage and the golden wedding anniversary for 50th years of marriage. Many people dream of their wedding will be lasting, but many of them also fail.

For those of you who dream of it, then there is a philosophical message from a modest golden wedding anniversary, a piece of dialog between MC (Master of Ceremonies) and the bride, as follows:

MC: (jokingly) "What is the most annoying thing from your husband?"
Bride: "As many as the stars in the sky, unable to count them."
MC: (shocked) "Well, but your husband's kindness is also abundant, right?"
Bride: "A little, like the sun in the sky."
MC: (curious) "Then how could you live with him for half a century and still love each other?"
Bride: "Because once the sun rises, all the stars in the sky become invisible."
MC: "Amazing!" (and standing applause from invited guests)"

Happy elderly couple.
That's the message. We let you conclude it.

      Well.. why do you need my prayer? :D

      For me marriage is an endless journey, full of adventure. So it must be enjoyed.

      Don't think too much about whether or not you will reach silver or gold or diamond anniversary. A number is just a number. It doesn't show anything.

      We don't get married because we want to make a record. If we are happy, then it is already an achievement, a huge one.

      "Why?" As a believer I think your prayer is important, don't you?
      Btw, I like your last sentence above, mate.

    I noticed that some of your posts are labeled "philosophy". Are you a philosofer?

Islamic law - whether it is about a choice

Before you continues to read this post, please read the brief history of Aceh , until Tsunami disaster happened and finally get a special autonomy right from Indonesian central government. For years the Indonesian military has struggle to fight against what we call Gerakan Aceh Merdeka / GAM (English: Free Aceh Movement) who want to establish an Islamic state and impose Sharia law in Aceh province. This proves that Indonesia do not wanting Islamic state system because Indonesia is a country based on the laws (national law), democratic, consist of various ethnic groups, has 6 official religion, with national motto: Unity in diversity, not an Islamic state that implement Sharia law. However, this war has caused many casualties and was not offering the civil order, harmony, and security for millions of civilians in Aceh. I say thousands of victims as a side effect of war, not just a matter of the position of a woman as reported by Jakarta Globe with the title " Women Unfit to Lead,...

Kartini's Day and Indonesian women

Raden Ajeng Kartini On April 21 each year the Indonesian nation commemorate Kartini's Day . Actually Kartini's Day is similar to Mother's Day (celebrated in Indonesia on December 22) or International Women's Day. Perhaps to understand Mother's Day you need to understand a person in your life called Mother, and for the International Women's Day and Kartini's Day perhaps you need to understand the person in your life called wife or sister. If you are underestimating women then firstly you need to look at your mother . Am I wrong? In short: That is all for women. In wider meaning: That is how these special Day to further raise the awareness of Indonesian society or even the world - especially the women themselves - about women rights, their struggle for equality, and their important role in various spheres of life. This is also an occasion for Indonesian women to review how far their struggle get acknowledgment especially from the point of view of Indonesian tr...

If One Why Different

On Sunday, August 31, 2008, I heard a debate from my friends about religion. Each person maintained the opinion that his religion was the most relevant in this century. Wow... like never ending story. Then I asked to each of them: "How many God in this universe, according to you?" For a moment they were silent, and then partly answered "ONLY ONE". A person among them wanted to debate my question, but I stay persistent with my question. Then he also answered "ONLY ONE". Then I replied to them: "If one, why we must be different and this is my BIG question to you all for debate". Think about the Greenpeace organization. They cares to our earth, our grandchild's future and does not see about your nationality. Also about Mother Teresa from Calcutta, India. She really cares to the poor, no matter where they came from or what is their nationality. I'm dreaming of ONE-DAY... NO VISA, NO PASSPORT, NO DIFFERENCES, NO POLITICAL INTRIGUE, NO WAR, bec...
