“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.*****
Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to clarityfirstaction only made me more sure of that, the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.
Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at actiondrive maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.
Reading this slowly to give it the attention it deserved, and a stop at surfnexora earned the same slow read, choosing to read slowly is a small act of respect for content quality and very few sites earn that respect from me but this one did so without any explicit ask which is the cleanest way.
Thanks for keeping the writing direct without losing the warmth that makes content feel human, and a stop at directioncreateslift carried both qualities forward, balancing professionalism and personality is a rare skill and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently land it across many posts which I notice.
Decided this was the best thing I had read all morning, and a stop at directionsetsspeed kept that ranking intact, ranking my reading is something I do mentally throughout the day and the top rank is competitive and not easily won but this site won it without needing to overstate its claims for that.
Bookmark folder created specifically for this site, and a look at motioncreatesresults confirmed the dedicated folder was the right call, dedicated folders for individual sites are a level of organisation I rarely deploy and this site has earned that level of dedicated tracking based on the consistency I have seen so far across sessions.
Liked the way the post balanced confidence and humility, and a stop at actionledgrowth maintained the same balance, knowing when to assert and when to acknowledge uncertainty is a sign of mature thinking and the writers here have clearly developed that calibration through what I assume is years of careful work on their craft.
Glad the writer kept this short rather than padding it out, the points stand on their own without needing extra context, and a look at shadowbeast kept the same approach going, brevity is a sign of confidence in the substance and the team here clearly trusts their content to land without filler.
A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at forwardenergyhub extended that pattern, the surprise of finding excellent content rather than the predictable mediocre is one of the few real pleasures of casual web browsing and this site delivered that surprise cleanly today which I really do appreciate.
Thanks for the breakdown, it gave me a clearer picture of something I had been confused about for a while now, and a stop at progressframework closed the remaining gaps in my understanding nicely, no need to hunt around twenty other articles to put the pieces together which is a real time saver.
Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to clarityturnsideas confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.
Without comparing too aggressively to other sources this one stands out for the right reasons, and a look at igniteforwardmotion continued that distinctive quality, content that distinguishes itself through substance rather than style tricks is content with lasting differentiation and this site has clearly chosen substance based differentiation as its core editorial strategy.
Glad the writer did not feel compelled to cover every possible angle of the topic, focus is a virtue, and a stop at strategyfocus reflected the same disciplined scope, knowing what to leave out is half of what makes good writing good and this post has clearly been edited with that principle in mind.
Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at growtharchitected continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.
Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at growthacceleratesforward continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.
Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at ideasunlockmovement continued that frustration free experience, content that sidesteps the standard failure modes of its genre is content with editorial awareness and this site has clearly studied what fails elsewhere consistently.
Good quality through and through, no rough edges and no signs of being rushed, and a quick look at velvetcomplex kept the same polish going, the kind of site that respects its own brand by maintaining consistency across pages which is something I always appreciate as a reader looking for trustworthy information online today.
A piece that exhibited the kind of patience that good writing requires, and a look at clarityroute continued that patient quality, hurried writing is easy to spot and this site reads as having been written without time pressure which produces a different feel than the rushed content that dominates much of the modern blog space.
Once you find a site like this the search for similar voices begins, and a look at factvoyager extended the search energy, finding a high quality reference point makes the gap between it and adjacent sources visible in a way it was not before and this site has provided that high reference point across multiple recent visits.
Reading this prompted me to subscribe to my first newsletter in months, and a stop at ideasneedmomentum confirmed the subscribe was the right call, content that earns a newsletter signup is content that has cleared a higher trust bar than a casual visit and this site has clearly earned that level of commitment from me.
Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at forwardmomentumcore kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.
Felt like the post had been edited rather than just drafted and published, and a stop at globalvoyager suggested the same care across the site, the difference between edited and unedited content is enormous for the reader and this site has clearly invested in the editing pass that most blogs skip entirely which really does show up.
Reading this prompted me to dig into a related topic later, and a stop at progressengineon provided some of the starting points for that follow up reading, content that triggers further exploration rather than satisfying curiosity completely is content with real generative energy and this site has plenty of that energy throughout it.
A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at learningpath maintained the same self assured but unshowy register, the gap between competence and performance of competence is one I track and this site has clearly chosen to demonstrate rather than perform which I find much more persuasive as a reader.
Solid quality, the kind of work that holds up to a careful read rather than a quick skim, and a quick look at directionpowersresults kept that standard going strong, content that rewards attention rather than punishing it is something I appreciate more and more these days online across nearly every topic I follow.
Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at momentumbychoice continued that precise style, this kind of attention to small details is what separates careful writing from the usual rushed content that dominates blog spaces today across pretty much every topic I follow.
Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at executeideasfast confirmed the choice was right, my morning reading slot is precious and giving it to this site felt like a good investment rather than a waste which is a higher endorsement than I usually offer for content.
Glad to find a site whose links lead somewhere worth going rather than back to itself for SEO juice, and a stop at nexustower kept that generous outbound feel, citing other peoples work with real respect rather than just for ranking signals is a sign of an honest operation worth supporting going forward.
One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at quantumvista added even more weight to that impression, this is genuinely good content that holds its own against far better known sites in the same space without trying to imitate any of them at all which I appreciate.
Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at ideasintoflow prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.
Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at strategyactivator kept me past breakfast time, content that displaces basic biological needs is content with serious attentional pull and the writers here are clearly capable of producing that level of engagement which is genuinely impressive these days.
Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at clarityguidesexecution only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.
Genuine reaction is that this site clicked with how I like to read, and a look at velvetcloset kept that comfortable fit going, sometimes you find a place online whose editorial decisions just align with your preferences and when that happens it is worth recognising and supporting through repeat engagement consistently going forward.
Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at directionsetsspeed reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.
Approaching this site through a casual link click and being surprised by what I found, and a look at victorysquad extended the surprise, the rare experience of stumbling into excellent independent content rather than predictable mediocrity is one of the actual remaining pleasures of casual web browsing and this site provided it cleanly.
Worth saying that the writing carries a particular kind of authority without making any explicit claims to it, and a stop at ideasunlockmovement extended that earned authority feeling, sites that demonstrate expertise through the quality of their explanations rather than by stating credentials are sites I trust most and this site has it.
Reading this on the train into work was a better use of the commute than my usual choices, and a stop at forwardlogiclab extended that commute reading well, content that improves transit time rather than just filling it is content with practical benefit and this site has earned its place in my morning commute reading rotation.
During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at visionintoprocess continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.
Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at ideasneedmomentum continued that pattern of earning its claims, sites that can back up their headlines without overpromising are rare and this one has clearly developed editorial calibration on that front consistently.
Found something new in here that I had not seen explained this way before, and a quick stop at focuscreatesflow expanded the idea even further, the kind of writing that nudges your thinking forward a bit without forcing the issue is exactly what I look for online today and rarely actually find anywhere.
Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at focusandexecute also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.
A piece that did not try to be timeless and ended up reading as durable anyway, and a look at igniteforwardmotion extended that durable feel, content that stays useful past its publication date without straining for permanence is content that ages well and this site has the kind of evergreen quality that I value highly today.
Found the section structure particularly thoughtful, and a stop at progresswithcontrol suggested the same care across the broader site, structural choices guide the reader through the material in ways most people do not consciously notice but feel the absence of when those choices are made carelessly or not at all.
A thoughtful piece that did not strain to be thoughtful, and a look at clarityleadsaction continued that effortless quality, when thinking shows up in writing without the writer drawing attention to it you know you are reading something genuinely considered rather than something performing the appearance of consideration which is also common online.
Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at motionwithclarity reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.
Most attempts at writing on this topic feel like they are missing something and this post finally identified what was missing, and a look at primequality extended that diagnostic clarity, content that names what is wrong with adjacent treatments while doing better itself is content with both critical and constructive value and this site has both.
Appreciated the way each section connected smoothly to the next without abrupt jumps, and a stop at ideasrequiremovement kept that flow going nicely, transitions are something most blog writers ignore but the difference is huge for the reader who is trying to follow a sustained line of thought today across many different topics.
Stayed longer than planned because each section earned the next, and a look at broadcastnova kept that pulling effect going across more pages, the kind of subtle pull that good writing exerts on attention is something I find harder and harder to resist when I encounter it on the open web today.
Just wanted to drop a quick note saying this was a useful read on a topic I have been circling, no fluff, and a stop at progresswithoutpressure added a few extra points that fit the same simple style which makes the whole site feel coherent rather than thrown together by many different writers with different goals.
Reading this as part of my evening winding down routine fit perfectly, and a stop at wisdommentor extended the wind down nicely, content that calms rather than agitates is what I want at the end of the day and this site provides that calming reading experience reliably which is increasingly rare across the modern web.
