Life like a Twitter

Dalam perjalanan hidup ini, kita bisa membuat suatu presepsi yang menarik.

Dalam hidup ini tentu, kita akan memiliki seseorang yang kita ikuti dan seseorang yang tidak kita ikuti.

Berbagai alasan kita punya untuk hal-hal itu, kenapa kita mengikuti orang X, dan kenapa kita tidak mengikuti orang Z, atau terkadang kita menutup diri dari orang-orang yang ingin mengikut diri kita.

In a simple way, this part of our life is just like a twitter.

Sebuah social network yang dimana kita bisa saling bertukar short message yang dapat kita lihat dengan system “follow” dan “unfollow” or sometimes “mute” dan kita bisa “protect” our own profile.

Enough with that introduction, and now let’s just talk about life.

When we following someone, there is a enough reason that we’re following it, in this example I will talk when we are following our leader let’s say our parent or our boss in job, or our dean in the university, or anyone, let’s say your BOSS.

Saat kita tergabung dalam suatu instansi, tentu ada si bos, dan mau tidak mau kita harus mem-”follow” si bos, dan si bos akan “follow back” *(bahasa gaulnya folback) kita, dan apapun yang bos kita “tweet” walaupun terkadang itu tidak penting, apabila kita tidak mengikuti “tweet” yang telah di “tweet”-kan, ada konsekuensi yang menunggu.

Lu bakal di “unfollow” sama bos lu, di kicked out dari instansi tersebut.

But another part that should be our concern is about, free will, a freedom to choose or express neither to follow nor unfollow as I mention before, or sometimes mute the person we are following or we’re following them, but every time the person tweet something, we just ignored it, and assume that tweet never pop-up in the twitter.

And now let’s talk to our brain and our mind, how if we do that such thing to our God? I don’t talk about Christianity only, but for all religion which I believe have something in common.

How many times we are un-following God? For every tweet that we think contradict with our ego and will? For every tweet we think it’s unimportant and we just ignored it, pretend the words never came from His mouth, and just mute our ear and close our eyes from every words that He spoke to us.

And after we got the consequences because not following every single tweet that He post into our application called brain, after someone we follow *yet a person, tell us,”Go back, we must follow Him, because there’s a good thing if we keep following and do His thing”.

Sometimes with a shy expression or without any shame we click “follow” again, and it happen not only once, but many times! What a creature being we are, very selfish.

But He is just too good, every single consequences that He deliver upon us just simply make us keep following Him, a consequences that tell us to click “Follow” and read every “Tweet” He post every seconds to our brain, and tell us to do it, keep faith in Him, and walk together with Him.

And the best part is, we may un-following God, BUT He NEVER UN-FOLLOWING US
