Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Have your house and then conceded a thief you are ashamed because they feel do not have anything decent to take the thief? If not, then you do not like Mullah Nasruddin Hoja, a legendary figure of the famous Sufi funny.
One night, when Mullah Nasruddin was alone in his house, through the window he saw a suspicious man about to enter his home. Nasruddin know that his house was going to conceded that the uninvited guest. Let alone getting ready to face the thief, even Nasruddin quickly hid in a box.
The problem Nasruddin was embarrassed, then surely the uninvited guests were disappointed, not finding even one decent valuables stolen. When the thief was looking for something, did not find anything.
Then the thief approached the box Nasruddin hiding place. Once opened, direct Nasruddin head bobbed in such a way. Thief shocked, immediately fled.
Within certain limits I never experienced that.
***A few days ago, about exhausted maghrib, my house was conceded uninvited guests entering through the roof. The thief was picked up and went through the ceiling tiles. He was shrewd and very freely, because no one was home.
My house is lower than the two houses mengimpitnya. My house was from the start stand in housing in the 1980s, until now, is not never touched aka reengineered. He looks conventional than the surrounding houses are already more modern terraced.
Because the lower and easy chance that someone got into tiles, then I guess that's what makes daring thief entered. I'm guessing, not really, rich my discretion (except rich monkey hehe), but there are opportunities. As Francis Bacon said, "opportunity makes a thief".
Opportunities, yes, that is what is often said the criminologist. People who do not mean anything when they saw an opportunity to steal, then he might mencurilah. Especially if the person has expertise in harmony. Theodore Roosevelt was probably right when he said, "a Man Who has never gone to school May steal from a freight car, but if he has a university education, May he steals the whole railroad."
When my family and home, the closet was a mess. Yes, of course if you are looking for valuable objects, nothing is. My wife is not accustomed to wearing jewelry, or other accessories, even though the watch. So is me, my skin attached accessories just glasses. And that's functional. Not for the prestige.
Money also does not exist, except for fake money the kids, who thought the original money. There are some children's toys were taken, and they may not find anything significant to be taken, thieves immediately flee.
My house was full of books, and because maybe the thieves less intellect, there is absolutely no priority to take the books.
Fortunately (fortunately already stolen kok), the goods taken by the uninvited guests, it is not how its value. Not about the value that makes us surprised, but why until they conceded a thief arrival of human kind in my home nation.
BTW, from the experience of defense and home security system, I raise with a small anticipation aka patchy. Not to dismantle and elevate the house, because the cost to it of course would be unpalatable.
People are desperate to steal it, it appears it was needed the money. Maybe to meet the basic needs of life are increasingly heavy. Life is indeed requires them to fill his stomach. Like the novelist Pearl S. Buck said, "hunger makes a thief of any man".
But would he so, so like said Yusuf Islam aka Cat Stevens, "a person steals bread WHO During a famine is not treated as a thief." That is stealing bread when he was hungry, did not deserve to be treated as a thief?
***I remember so many conversations about the illegal logging (illegal logging) and the theft of illegal fishing (illegal fishing) in our country, which at least confirms that Indonesia is also like a house that was so easy-good thief thief entered from outside or from within .
In fact, there is often a scary-creepy story that both thieves from outside or from within it already work together neatly. Indonesia certainly rich countries. Our house was, in fact very rich. We have a vast ocean with various types of catch. Tropical forests are also tempt us to be exploited.
As my house, Indonesia seems people are still so easily mapped. In this era of technological sophistication of remote sensing via satellite today, even a swimming pool back in your house could be seen clearly from above.
Various types of potential tetambangan also been projected clearly, and all parties can access via the sophistication of the technology. Also a map of our forests, which still grow in abundance, which are already "professor" alias edges look heavy, balding middle.
Then, immediately appeared many ordinary people's questions: how the state can guarantee the sovereignty of the territory of our country in every inch of soil and water islands leading us? How does the state apparatus able to counteract illegal logging in forest area or fish in the sea? How to deal with transnational crimes?
Of course I have a lot of thesis and discussions about things like that. And we must recognize that there are still many limitations. Territory of our country belong superluas. Thieves can enter through an unguarded gap much.
We're ashamed the arrival of a thief, but not ashamed Nasruddin version above. If Nasruddin ashamed for not having anything that could be stolen, we are ashamed because we are so rich, but the ability to keep valuable objects that we are still very limited.
Some criticize or launched self-criticism is this: we are poor people in rich countries, we are vagabonds in their own homes, we are rich and know that the rich (potentially) but do not know how to get rich (obviously). We have not been able to make precious objects that we hold can be value added.
And because of poor mental objects of priceless art was sold by a museum guard (remember no case of sale of the statue of a museum in Surakarta by the head of the museum itself several years ago?).
Maybe "Eastern culture" makes us wait too polite in letting the thieves with thieves choose their own what dimaui. Then we take the thief to conduct their activities safely restrained. And so the thieves got something that a lot and satisfied, we participate with pride and satisfaction.
Also perhaps we unconsciously like memperlempang way of the corrupt. In fact, unconsciously as well as if to say, please you know sir, ma'am corruptor please corruption as much, if not forgotten me. Do not forget the theory of trickle-down effect of his practice! Do not forget alms!
Indeed misleading.
While corruption itself a reflection of the mentality of people who not only deceitful, but also the actions of people lose, people are quick to give up, people think short and superpragmatis. The mentality of corruption beyond conventional mental thief. White-collar criminals (white-collar crime), is more sophisticated than jambret the wayside.
The term white-collar criminals made famous by Edwin Sutherland (1939) as "a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation." The way they operate is not conventional, more interpersonal, and need a high level of expertise. Compare try with the term "chicken thief", or "thief sandals", which is more cool?
Chicken thief or thieves who flip it, being too physical, into the category of blue-collar criminals, referring to the following definition of "blue-collar crime tends to be more obvious and more active thus attracts police attention (eg for Such crimes as vandalism or shoplifting, Nowhere physical property is involved). "
***In a discussion with Dr. Ikhsan Modjo at Warung Daun, Cikini some time ago, as a resource person in politics I had replied a question from a participant, who happened background Warteg entrepreneurs.
He asked for feedback about the need for honesty. Many are not honest with treasures plundered the country, plundering the people's right. That is what led to Indonesia hampered his progress.
I say this more sophisticated thieves or criminals had always been there. Like the novel Sunaryo Basuki Ks, "Maling Republic", even in the days of the revolution there was a professional thief. Although, the thief of the novel and then repent and fight for the Republic.
From there at least three interesting things: (1) malingnya itself, (2) conversion process, and (3) relation to national interests. There is a process of transformation from the thief for his own stomach to fight for broader national interests.
I do not recommend that there are many Robin Hood or thug Lokajaya or the characters in the legend of the noble thief, because distributing the stolen goods to the poor. If you want to give something to the people who are poor should not to steal-no matter how the system create an opportunity to steal is very open.
If you want to love the people, mending of money results of our work, our sweat. Working in a true and fair. Not working degrading self-esteem or vice versa too confident to commit indecent and unnatural.
The interesting part is actually transformative stories: conversion of a former thief who later turned into a figure who likes to do serious benefits, create community interest and progress of the nation. Perhaps the proverbial figure-a figure like the former kiai thief, not thief the former scholars. Wallahua'lam. (***)
