“One Piece”, Dunia Barat dan Mimpi
KALAU ingin tau makna “mengejar mimpi” dalam perspektif Barat, tonton “One Piece”. Dalam versi Live-Action di Netflix, film ini sudah tayang dua season. Dengan total sementara 16 episode. Masing season ada 8 episode.
Film yang aslinya diangkat dari serial manga Jepang ini mengisahkan sosok pemuda “karet” Monkey D. Luffy. Sejak kecil ia hanya punya satu cita-cita: menjadi raja bajak laut!
Sekeras apapun dididik oleh kakeknya untuk tidak menjadi perompak, cita-citanya tak tergoyahkan. Walau berkarakter sebagai orang baik, ia tetap ingin menjadi raja bajak laut!
Tujuannya satu. Luffy terinspirasi untuk mendapatkan “One Piece”, harta karun peninggalan Gol D.Rogers si raja bajak laut legendaris. Harta ini tersembunyi di Grand Line. Sebuah wilayah di ujung dunia. Siapapun yang ingin sampai kesana, nyawa taruhannya.
Dari satu episode ke episode lainnya, hanya satu aura yang ditebarkan D. Luffy, si bajak laut “bertopi jerami”. Siapapun yang ia jumpai, pesannya selalu sama: kejar mimpimu. Bangun ambisimu. Jangan pernah menyerah. Tinggalkan kampungmu. Terus berlayar. Carilah kebebasan. Kamu pasti bisa. Siapapun yang ia temui, anak kecil ini selalu membangun afirmasi sambil memperkenalkan diri: “Aku Monkey D. Luffy, calon raja bajak laut!”.
Alhasil. Dalam timnya bergabung Roronoa Zoro, seorang pembunuh bajak laut yang bercita-cita menjadi pendekar pedang terhebat di dunia. Ada Nami, navigator kapal yang bermimpi ingin menggambar peta dunia. Ada Usopp, penembak jitu yang berhasrat ingin berkeliling dunia. Ada Sanji, tukang masak yang berharap menjadi koki terbaik sejagat. Ada Tony Tony Chopper, dokter pemalu dan penakut yang ingin menjadi pemberani dengan berpetualang melampaui batas asalnya.
Monkey D. Luffy adalah seorang motivator handal. Mirip sekali dengan trainer dalam training-training motivasi kita. Kerjanya mendorong orang untuk mengejar cita-cita. Kadang-kadang dilakukan lewat sugesti. Sesekali melalui kata-kata bijak. Lain waktu dengan yel-yel bertenaga: “Gomu-Gomu!”, teriak Luffy.
Film ini menjadi semakin menarik, karena dunia “One Piece” dihuni oleh bajak laut yang saling berkompetisi. Sebagian besar berkarakter penjahat. Sebagian lain digambarkan sebagai bandit yang baik. Termasuk tim bajak laut D. Luffy.
Karena itu, bendera tengkorak One Piece sempat dilarang beredar di Indonesia. Negara kita dipersepsikan oleh para netizen sebagai dunia para perompak. Republik ini disindir berisi kumpulan bandit yang sedang berkompetisi untuk mengejar sumberdaya alam. Dunia ini, isinya perompak.
Akhirnya, pemuda seperti D. Luffy juga mengibarkan benderanya sendiri. Mereka menyebut dirinya sebagai perompak yang baik, yang punya mimpi sendiri, yang hidup di tengah perampok dan preman-preman jahat lainnya. Para perompak jahat berusaha menyingkirkan tim D. Luffy, kumpulan anak muda yang peduli.
Film ini unik. Sebab, Anda akan mengetahui bahwa para penjahat, bandit, dan perompak-perompak itu ternyata kumpulan orang-orang yang memiliki cita-cita yang kuat. Punya mimpi yang tinggi. Punya keinginan besar. Mereka bersedia membayar nyawa untuk meraih semua asa. Mereka akan membunuh siapapun yang ingin merebut apa yang ingin mereka miliki.
Setelah menonton film ini, kita jadi sadar. Ternyata dunia ini diisi oleh para perampok semacam ini. Aparat penegak hukum sekalipun, sesekali, bahkan seringkali berkolaborasi dengan mereka dalam mencapai tujuan. Kony, sahabat D. Luffy yang idealis, yang bermimpi menjadi angkatan laut yang bertugas menangkap bajak laut, juga terkejut ketika menghadapi kenyataan bahwa pimpinan marinirnya juga ada ‘main’ dengan mafia bajak laut.
Setelah menonton film ini pula, kita menjadi malu sendiri. Sebab, kita yang menjalani hidup sebagai orang-orang baik (sebutlah begitu), justru hidup tanpa cita-cita. Sepanjang hari kita terus ngopi dari satu warung ke warung lain. Bicara tanpa ujung. Melamun tanpa tujuan. Sementara orang-orang jahat, sudah lama menyusun siasat untuk meraih kuasa. Jadi wajar terjadi kondisi, seperti bunyi pepatah Aceh: “buya krueng teudong-dong, buya tamong meuraseuki”.
Setelah menonton film ini kita jadi sadar, betapa banyak orang terdidik yang lahir dari sekolah dan kampus-kampus. Tapi jadi pengangguran yang tidak punya visi. Betapa banyak orang beragama yang lahir dari lembaga-lembaga keagamaan. Tapi sibuk mutar kesana kemari, tanpa mimpi.
Film ini mengajari kita satu hal: belajarlah dari para bandit. Bahkan bandit pun punya cita-cita. Misalnya, untuk merampok dunia. Bahkan untuk menjadi bandit sekalipun, itu harus dimulai dengan cita-cita. Susah lho jadi bandit. Butuh energi besar untuk jadi bandit. Jadi, kalau Anda menemukan para bandit, hormati mereka. Itu kumpulan orang yang telah mempertaruhkan nyawanya untuk sebuah posisi. Mungkin tujuannya jahat. Tapi paling tidak mereka sudah mampu membangun tujuan dan memperjuangkan itu. Bahkan dengan taruhan akan ditangkap bahkan ditembak polisi!
Film ini seolah-olah mengajarkan, kalau Anda tidak punya cita-cita untuk menjadi sukses sebagai orang baik, jadi bandit boleh juga. Yang penting punya cita-cita. Begitu pentingnya sebuah cita-cita. Dalam hal ini Anda boleh belajar dari iblis. Iblis itu sudah bingung. Tak tau lagi bagaimana cara jadi makhluk baik. Akhirnya minta izin Tuhan untuk jadi jahat. Disini Anda akan paham, iblis termasuk makhluk yang “purposeful”. Hidupnya bertujuan. Makanya powerful sekali dia.
Kenyataannya, itulah bentuk visi, mimpi, atau cita-cita dalam perspektif “barat”. Barat tidak selalu bermakna Eropa dan sekitarnya. Barat juga bermakna cara berpikir dengan “otak kiri”. Rasional. Hidup harus ambisius, untuk mengejar apapun yang Anda mau. Harus produktif. Karenanya, berjuanglah tanpa henti. Jangan pernah menyerah. Tak bisa jadi orang baik, jadi orang jahat juga boleh. Yang penting punya cita-cita.
Kalau Anda lihat pencapaian Barat dalam banyak hal, itu dibangun lewat cara pandang semacam ini. Kolonialisme, imperialisme, termasuk zionisme, dicapai lewat visi besar seperti itu. Mereka sukses membangun armada perang dan teknologi guna mengejar mimpi-mimpi kapitalistiknya.
Mereka tidak mengakui bahwa mimpi mereka kotor dan hina. Tidak. Mereka tetap memuja semua cita-citanya. Lihat zionisme, betapa percaya dirinya mereka saat membangun visi “the promised land”. Mereka membunuh dan merampok tanpa batas disaat mengejar visinya itu. Itulah kekuatan mimpi!
Kalau ingin melihat bagaimana cara sukses Barat lainnya, lihat bagaimana keluarga Rothschild dengan ambisi ekonomi ribawinya. Lihat juga cara kerja elit global dalam mengejar mimpi mereka untuk membentuk “the new world order”. Mereka ingin seluruh dunia takluk di bawah sistem ekonomi dan keuangan yang terkontrol. Mereka akan membuat rekayasa apapun, tanpa rasa bersalah, untuk mewujudkan itu. Sekalipun harus meruntuhkan WTC dengan ribuan orang di dalamnya. Atau menciptakan Covid yang mematikan ratusan ribu manusia, dan agenda lainnya.
Jika orang jahat punya mimpi yang begitu besar, bagaimana dengan Anda yang merasa sebagai manusia relijius lagi baik? Apa mimpi Anda?
“Mengejar Mimpi”, Perspektif Timur
Yang kita bahas diatas adalah cara “membangun mimpi” dalam perspektif barat (otak kiri). Harus ambisius. Pantang menyerah. Meminjam istilah Presiden Jokowi: “Kerja, kerja, kerja”.
Apakah salah?
Tidak. Dalam banyak hal, Anda telah melihat bagaimana kekuatan pencapaian mereka. Sangat produktif. Kita harus belajar cara seperti itu. Meskipun Anda juga melihat banyak sekali masalah yang ditimbulkan lewat “ambisi” dan sifat “pantang menyerah” semacam itu.
Otaknya memang hidup. Matanya terus terbuka. Secara rasional memang begitu. Tapi jiwanya lelah. Manusia Barat ‘kosong’. Sebab, dirinya yang bekerja sepanjang waktu. Meminjam teori Cash Flow Quadrant dari Robert Kiyosaki, mereka bekerja di kuadran satu atau dua. Sangat mandiri. Semua dikerjakan sendiri. Tidak sedikitpun diserahkan ke Tuhannya.
Karena itulah, dalam perspektif timur (otak kanan) diperkenalkan strategi “retreat” (menyerah) dalam mengejar mimpi. Menyerah dalam arti positif.
Sesekali tarik diri. Lakukan secara rutin. Masuk ke kuadran tiga dan keempat, pejamkan mata. Biarkan alam dan Tuhan yang bekerja. Itulah fungsi uzlah, suluk, atau khalwat dalam tradisi spiritual. Ini metode “retreat”, menyerahkan diri kepada Tuhan ketika ingin mengejar sebuah mimpi. Tradisi timur kaya dengan tradisi meditatif semacam ini.
Tapi jangan pula selalu meditatif sampai lupa bekerja. Harus diseimbangkan. Siang digunakan untuk mengejar ambisi. Malam untuk bertawajuh (bertahajud) dalam kelambu suci. Sisakan waktu untuk wukuf. Lakukan break atau pause secara reguler dalam setiap langkah kerja.
Sebab, tradisi Timur mempercayai: “manusia yang bercita-cita, tapi Tuhan yang menentukan”. Jadi, seni “meraih mimpi” dalam tradisi Timur memang harus dengan memperbanyak ‘tidur’ (zikir/meditasi). Mimpin dikejar dengan mata tertutup. Beda dengan tradisi Barat, Anda harus bangun dari tidur, lalu bekerja untuk mewujudkan mimpi.
Dua seni ini harus dikuasai. Perspektif Timur dan Barat harus disatukan. Karena itu, training-training Suficademic tidak melulu berperan sebagai “motivator” untuk memompa peserta sibuk mengejar mimpi. Kami juga hadir untuk memberi inspirasi, bagaimana cara Anda bisa ‘tidur’ secara kreatif sebagaimana diajarkan dalam berbagai tradisi sufi, sehingga tercapai mimpi-mimpi. Kami menggali ilmu ini dari Guru Sufi.
Teknik ini sebenarnya dapat Anda pelajari dari sosok seperti Muhammad. Seorang pemuda yang rajin sekali bertapa sejak usia muda. Sekaligus aktif sekali berjihad sepanjang hidupnya. Mimpinya satu, sama dengan D.Luffy, mengejar “one piece”. Tapi dalam makna berbeda: One God, One Ummah!
Penutup
Kalau Anda lihat, Amerika itu sudah mau punah. Mereka itu sosok “bajak laut” Barat yang sangat ambisius dengan mimpinya. Ambisius sekali, sampai ingin menguasai dunia. Tidak mau berhenti mereka. Siang malam terus menjajah, menyerang, dan menculik siapapun yang menentang visi mereka. Ada periode mereka berhasil dengan cara-cara seperti itu.
Hari-hari ini, mereka justru sedang dilumat oleh bangsa “Sinbad” yang juga pelaut hebat. Bangsa Iran, atau Persia. Perang Amerika vs. Iran juga melukiskan tentang “One Piece”. Perang antar bajak laut. Yang satu bajak laut krasak krusuk (Amerika). Satu lagi bajak laut pendiam. Diam-diam sudah maju dan tidak terkalahkan (Iran/Persia).
Persia juga bangsa yang punya mimpi besar. Tapi mereka suka menyerahkan mimpinya kepada Tuhan. Spiritualitasnya tinggi. Zikir dan shalawatnya banyak. Iran adalah bangsa dengan segudang ambisi saintifik, tapi masih suka berdialog dengan Tuhan. Kelihatannya, bangsa seperti ini lebih menggambarkan model integrasi antara Barat dan Timur: ambisius sekaligus spiritualis. Otak kiri, sekaligus otak kanan. Mungkin Iran cocok menjadi salah satu alternatif bagi dunia terkini terkait cara “mengejar mimpi”.
Allahumma shalli ‘ala Muhammad wa Aali Muhammad.*****
Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at growthcareer only widened the gap, comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.
Felt mildly happier after reading, which sounds silly but is true, and a look at brightzenithhub extended that small mood lift, content that improves rather than degrades my mental state is content I want more of and the cumulative effect of reading sites that lift versus sites that drag is real over time.
Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at oceanriders kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.
Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at royalmariner continued that honest framing, sites that handle complexity with care rather than papering it over with simplifying claims are doing real intellectual work and this one is clearly in that category based on what I have read.
If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at discountnexus extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.
Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at sweatertorso confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.
Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at purposehaven continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.
Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at merrynights kept me reading the same way, when I stop noticing the length of a piece because the content is engaging enough to sustain attention without willpower the writer has done their job well today.
Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at topicnexus extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.
Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at cozyhomestead reinforced that intention, the difference between sites I find again by chance and sites I return to on purpose is meaningful and this one has clearly moved into the deliberate return category for me.
Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at radianttouch added another piece I will incorporate, content that connects to specific projects I am working on is content with practical utility and the practical utility of this site is showing up across multiple posts I have read in the last hour or so.
A piece that did not require external context to follow, and a look at trendoutlet maintained the same self contained quality, content that stands alone without forcing readers to chase prerequisites is more accessible and this site has clearly thought about how each piece can serve a fresh visitor rather than only existing members.
Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at modernvertex also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.
A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately, and a look at trillsaddle extended that calm voice, content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.
Top tier post, the kind that makes you want to share the link with friends working in the same area, and a stop at guidancehubpro only made me more confident in doing that, this site is one of the better resources I have seen on the topic recently across both new and older posts.
The pacing of the post was just right, never rushed and never dragged out unnecessarily, and a look at digitalgrove maintained the same rhythm, you can tell the writer has experience because the difficult skill of pacing is something only practiced writers manage to handle well in long form content over time and across formats.
Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at artistnexus kept that comfortable matching going, finding writing that meets you where you are rather than asking you to climb up or stoop down feels great every time it happens.
A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at quietvoyage confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.
Started taking notes about halfway through because the points were stacking up, and a look at socialflare added enough material that my notes file grew further, content that demands note taking from a passive reader is content with substance and the writers here are clearly producing that kind of work consistently across topics.
Good post, the kind that respects the reader by getting to the point quickly without skipping the details that matter, and a short look at unityharbor confirmed that approach is consistent across the site which is rare to find online these days, definitely a place I will return to soon.
A clean read with no irritations, and a look at businessnova continued that frictionless quality, the absence of small irritations is something I notice only when present elsewhere and this site is one of the rare places where everything just works and lets me focus on the substance rather than fighting the format.
A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at supportnexus maintained the same clarity of intention, knowing the goal of a piece before writing is something most blog content lacks and the clarity of purpose here shows up in every paragraph for any careful reader to notice.
A clear cut above the usual noise on the subject, and a look at humorvertex only made that gap wider in my view, the kind of place that earns its visitors through quality rather than through aggressive marketing or sponsored placements which is increasingly the only way most sites stay afloat across the modern web.
A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at cocktailnexus confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.
Appreciated how the writer anticipated the questions a reader might have along the way, and a stop at silverpathhub continued that thoughtful approach, you can tell when content has been edited with the reader in mind versus just published as a first draft and this is clearly the former approach across what I read.
Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at modernlivinghub reflected that same care, a rare thing on the open web these days where most pages exist for clicks rather than actual reader value or anything close to that which is honestly a real shame.
A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at brightportal maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.
Just want to record that this site is entering my regular reading list, and a look at modernupdate confirmed it deserves the spot, my regular reading list is short and well curated and adding to it requires meeting a fairly high quality bar that this site has clearly cleared without much effort apparently.
I learned more from this short post than from longer articles I read earlier today, and a stop at tattooharbor added even more useful detail without going off topic, this site clearly knows how to keep things focused without sacrificing depth which is a hard balance to strike for any writer.
A piece that handled the topic with appropriate weight without becoming portentous, and a look at connectnexus continued that calibrated seriousness, content that takes itself seriously without becoming pompous is something this site has clearly figured out and the balance shows up in every piece I have read across multiple sessions now.
If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at uniquevoyager extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.
Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at parcelvoyager did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.
Came away feeling slightly smarter than I was when I started, that is a real win, and a stop at pixelharborhub added a bit more to that, the rare site that actually transfers some of its knowledge to the reader in a way that sticks rather than just creating an illusion of learning briefly.
A clear case of writing that does not try to do too much in one post, and a look at urbanwellness maintained the same scoped discipline, posts that try to cover too much end up covering nothing well and this site has clearly chosen scope discipline as a core editorial principle which shows up clearly in what I read.
Saving the link for sure, this one is a keeper, and a look at masterynexus confirmed I should bookmark the entire site rather than just this page, the consistency across what I have seen so far suggests there is a lot more here worth coming back for soon when I have more time.
Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at cosmicvertex kept the streak going, when content beats long flight reading you know it has substance because flight reading is a hard test of a piece given the alternatives available everywhere.
Refreshing to find writing that does not try to manipulate the reader into clicking onto the next page through cliffhangers and forced engagement, and a stop at glamourbrush continued in the same respectful way, this is what reader first design actually looks like in practice rather than just in marketing copy that sounds nice.
One of the more honest takes on the topic I have seen lately, no spin and no oversell, and a stop at joyfulnexus kept that going, the kind of voice the open web could use a lot more of rather than the endless echo chamber of recycled opinions floating around every social platform these days.
The whole experience of reading this was pleasant from start to finish, no pop ups and no annoying interruptions, and a look at deliverynexus continued that clean experience, technical choices about page design matter for the reader and this site clearly cares about the small details that add up to comfort across multiple visits.
Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at clarityleadsaction only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.
Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at focusconstructor suggested more material to share with the same group, recommending content into a curated circle requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those personal recommendations on multiple separate occasions now.
Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at trendrocket suggested more material to share with the same group, recommending content into a curated circle requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those personal recommendations on multiple separate occasions now.
Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at stellarpath held up similarly under interrupted reading, content that can withstand modern distracted reading patterns rather than requiring a perfect block of focused time is increasingly the kind I prefer.
Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at buildgrowthsystems continues to earn it across the broader site too, the kind of operation that maintains quality across many pages rather than just one viral post is a sign of serious commitment and that is what I see here clearly across what I read.
Reading this brought back the satisfaction I used to get from blogs ten years ago, and a stop at nexusharbor kept that nostalgic quality alive, sites that capture what was good about an earlier era of internet writing are increasingly precious and this one is doing that without feeling like a deliberate throwback at all.
A piece that respected the reader by not over explaining the obvious, and a look at digitalnexushub continued that calibrated approach, finding the right level of explanation is one of the harder editorial calls and this site has clearly thought carefully about what readers will already know versus what they need help with consistently.
Thanks for the simple approach, too many sites bury the actual point under layers of unnecessary words, but here every line earns its place, and a look at progressmapping showed the same care for the reader which is something I will remember the next time I need answers on a topic.
Liked everything about the experience, from the opening through to the closing notes, and a stop at vibrantjourney extended that into more pages, finding a site where the editorial vision shows through every choice rather than feeling random is an increasingly rare experience and one I am glad to have today during this particular reading session.
Came in confused about the topic and left with a much firmer grasp on it, and after progressmapping I felt I could explain this to someone else without hesitation, that is the gold standard for any educational content and most sites simply fail to reach it ever which is unfortunate but true.
Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at nexushorizon added more, this is one of those sites where the value compounds the more you read rather than peaking at one viral post and then offering nothing else of substance afterwards which is common.
