Disamperin aliran di Korea

Salah satu pengalaman yang gw dapatkan selama trip sebulan lamanya di Korea selama musim gugur ini adalah disamperin cult atau aliran tertentu. Jadi memang di Korea itu seperti jadi surga buat aliran-aliran agama baru tumbuh, mungkin udah pada pernah juga nonton dokumenter salah satu aliran gereja di Korea yang lumayan terkenal sesatnya. Gw gak tau kenapa pastinya banyak aliran-aliran baru atau aliran sesat muncul di Korea, ada beberapa hipotesis tapi ya masih hasil pemikiran gw aja. Dari jaman dulu sampe sekarang kayak masih gak berubah aja. Sebagai catatan, dulu salah satu aliran sesat sempat masuk ke lingkungan kampus tempat gw pertukaran pelajar di Korea. Di situ mereka emang nargetin mahasiswa asing. Modusnya adalah sebagai mahasiswa asing kita diajak volunteer, ada kelas bahasa, ada kunjungan ke panti jompo, dll. Nanti selama kegiatan itu kita akan pakai atribut tertentu, dan mengucapkan yel-yel terselubung yang dianggap bagian dari dokumentasi saja. Hasil dokumentasi berupa foto...

Small Steps

From 'Small Steps' by Louis Sachar

“Life is like crossing a river. If you try to take too big a step, the current will knock you off your feet and carry you away.”

I guess we sometimes feel in hurry and want to arrive sooner (I'm not even sure I really know the destination), that is why we try to take a little too-big-step. But, then the big step makes our walk a bit unstable, thus it becomes easier to get knocked off by the current. 

Taking small steps may not satisfy us in the feeling, we all just in hurry for....idk what. Maybe we see other people jump easily on the river or take a boat, or even already crossed the river or climb the tree on the other side, which makes us compare...our progress with other's result..again. 

But well, we all have our own baggage, or different body structure, that makes the pace to cross the river different for all of us. And it is fine to take a small step. As long as we're focusing on our own destination.
