Miskin Bukan Berarti Hina\u00a0<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A Thai man was homeless and jobless — but that all changed when he was rewarded for his good karma.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Coconuts Bangkok<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook user\u00a0Tarika Patty<\/a>\u00a0said the unnamed homeless man\u00a0had returned her boyfriend\u2019s wallet on Monday although the man barely had money and had been living on the street for over a year.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The wallet had THD 20,000 (about S$ 784)\u00a0cash inside.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Tarika’s boyfriend had not even realised he dropped his wallet.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The homeless man took it to the police station, who helped track down the wallet’s owner.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Tarika’s boyfriend was immensely grateful, and when\u00a0he learned that the guy had been out of work for a year and used Huay Kwang MRT station as a place to sleep, he knew the perfect way to reward him.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

He gave him a job and a place to stay.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Honesty is really the best virtue.\u00a0 (Source: stomp.com.sg<\/a>)<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Seorang pria miskin yang tak punya rumah (tuna wisma) dan juga pengangguran, mengembalikan dompet mewah yang ditemukannya dengan isi sekitar $784 (setara dengan Rp. 7,6 juta bila menggunakan kurs 9.700,-).<\/span><\/p>\n

Dan sebagai rasa terima kasihnya, pemilik dompet memberikannya pekerjaan dan tempat tinggal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kejujurannya berbuah baik, sungguh suatu contoh yang luar biasa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beberapa bulan yang lalu, saya pernah menuliskan status di Facebook:<\/span><\/p>\n

” Miskin bukan berarti hina, kaya belum tentu juga mulia.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Pemikiran ini timbul dari membaca berita bahwa ada seorang kaya yang ‘memelintir’ berita dan kebenaran dengan menyuap kanan-kiri untuk kemudian memenjarakan beberapa orang miskin yang sebetulnya jujur.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dalam hatiku ada satu kemarahan atas ketidakadilan yang terjadi ini.<\/span><\/p>\n

Namun, harus diakui tidak setiap dari kita siap jika berhadapan dengan orang yang dekil, kumal, dan bertampang gelandangan…<\/span><\/p>\n

Pikiran kita masih saja curiga terhadap mereka-mereka ini….<\/span><\/p>\n

Kita masih silau dengan penampilan yang rapi dan parlente, padahal mungkin dia tukang tipu yang tahu memanfaatkan kelemahan manusiawi kita ini.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manusia- ya, kita semua- senantiasa melihat rupa dan penampilan luar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tetapi, Tuhan melihat hati.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tidak semua yang miskin harta itu miskin hati.<\/span><\/p>\n

Terkadang orang yang kaya hartanya, malahan sungguh miskin hatinya.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kisah dari Thailand ini mengajarkan saya bahwa sekali lagi miskin karena keadaan, bukan berarti hina…<\/span><\/p>\n

Mari terus belajar untuk juga memandang hati manusia yang masih tetap memegang kejujuran dengan tinggi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga kita pun tetap memperjuangkan kejujuran ini.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/span>Tetapi berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Samuel: “Janganlah pandang parasnya atau perawakan yang tinggi, sebab Aku telah menolaknya. Bukan yang dilihat manusia yang dilihat Allah; manusia melihat apa yang di depan mata,\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup>tetapi TUHAN melihat hati.<\/span><\/p>\n
