To keep silent means victory

Talking about hobby, there are a lot to tell. Some like  reading novels, sport, traveling etc. For those who like reading novels, someone must ever find a proverb saying “Silent is golden”. The proverb is often said  in the suburbs by oldest people inhabiting there. In the writer’s mind, it manifests that we never know when meeting someone who doesn’t say anything although he/she is scolded in the crowded. He/she still keeps silent without complaining about what he/she just heard. His/her face never becomes red and is still calm and won’t be angry. Whatever he/she got never makes him/her react.

He/she maybe think that Allah knows it and there must be the way to solve it, so he/she lets it be. Although he/she is in the condition of being calm but never gives up. The writer is sure if being silent can defeat everything. Let the writer state although gold is silent but it is still expensive. The explanation of “silent” here is not to regard that everything surround him/her is not useful.

Compared with those living abroad, the people living in Indonesia mainly Javanese ones, can be said tha most of them really accept what they get or in Javanese “ Nrimo ing pandum” Why do they have it? The answer is hat they are sure the good deed they’ve done is blessed by Allah and never wish to be rewarded. The writer has ever experienced if the good deed is regarded as the bad one by those having low education. They think the silent people always agree what they do or will do. According to their thoughts, the silent behavior is easy to influence. Actually, in the depth of their hearts, know that it’s wrong but they still follow their mind to keep on doing it. Alas for those who know the bad deed but pretend no to know.

In conclusion, their egoism is oo strong to defea bu he silence can defeat it in a calm way.
