“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.*****
Found this through a friend who recommended it and now I see why, and a look at forwardlogiclab only strengthened that recommendation in my own mind, word of mouth still works for content that actually delivers and this site is clearly earning recommendations the old fashioned way through quality rather than marketing.
Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at expertvertex kept me in that careful reading mode, the kind of writing that demands attention by being worth attention is rare in a media environment full of content engineered to be skimmed not read with any real focus today.
Found something new in here that I had not seen explained this way before, and a quick stop at progressrequiresfocus 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.
A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at momentumdesignlab 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.
Stayed longer than planned because each section earned the next, and a look at buildclearprogress 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.
Now adjusting my expectations upward for the topic based on this post, and a stop at forwardthinkingnow continued that bar raising effect, content that resets what I think is possible on a subject is doing real work in shaping my standards and this site is providing those bar raising experiences at a notable rate during sessions.
Liked everything about the experience, from the opening through to the closing notes, and a stop at focusunlockspotential 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.
Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at growthmovesforward similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.
Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at forwardtractionhub adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.
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 urbanhomestead 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.
Felt the post was written for someone like me without explicitly addressing me, and a look at directionbuildsvelocity produced the same fit, when content lands on its target without pandering you know the writer has done careful audience thinking rather than relying on demographic targeting or interest signals to do the work of editorial decisions.
Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at focuscreatespace confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.
Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at actiondrivenshift 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.
Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at actiondrivenshift extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.
A satisfying piece in the way that good meals are satisfying rather than just filling, and a look at brightlifestyle extended that satisfaction, the metaphor between content and meals is one I find useful and this site reads as a satisfying meal rather than the empty calories that most content provides for casual readers.
Thank you for being clear and direct, that simple approach saves so much frustration on the reader’s end, and a stop at directionbeforeforce only made me more sure of it, the rest of the content seems to follow the same pattern which is a great sign of consistent editorial care behind the scenes.
Now realising the post solved a small problem I had been carrying for weeks, and a look at happycradle extended that problem solving function, content that connects to specific unresolved questions in my own life rather than just providing general interest is content with real practical impact and this site is providing that practical value.
Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at ideasintomomentum confirmed the longer block plan, the impulse to schedule dedicated time for a sites archive is itself a measure of trust and this site has earned that scheduling impulse from me clearly today actually.
A piece that did exactly what it promised in the headline without overshooting or underdelivering, and a look at ideasguidedforward continued that calibration, alignment between promise and delivery is a basic editorial virtue that many sites fail at and this site has clearly mastered the matching of expectation and substance throughout pieces.
Glad I gave this a chance rather than scrolling past, and a stop at actionfeedsmomentum confirmed I made the right call, sometimes the best content is hidden behind unassuming headlines that do not scream for attention and learning to slow down and check those out has paid off many times now across years of reading.
Held my interest from the opening line through to the closing thought, and a stop at clarityfuelsmotion did the same, content that earns sustained attention in an environment full of distractions is doing something right and this site is clearly doing several things right rather than just one or two which I really appreciate.
Stayed longer than planned because each section earned the next, and a look at strategyinplay 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.
Now thinking about how this post will age over the coming years, and a stop at planetnexus suggested the same durability, content built to age well rather than to capture the attention of the moment is content with a different kind of value and this site has clearly chosen the long horizon over the short one.
A clear cut above the usual noise on the subject, and a look at progresswithintelligence 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.
Came in for one specific question and got answers to three I had not even thought to ask, and a look at actionfeedsprogress extended that bonus value pattern, the kind of resource that anticipates reader needs rather than just answering the literal question asked is the gold standard and this site reaches it.
Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at claritydrivesmotion extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.
Worth recognising that the post handled a familiar topic without reaching for any of the obvious hot takes, and a stop at moveideascleanly continued that fresh treatment, sites that find new angles on subjects others have exhausted are sites worth following carefully and this one has clearly developed that exploratory instinct through patient practice.
Liked everything about the experience, from the opening through to the closing notes, and a stop at growthpathwaynow 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.
Saving this link for the next time someone asks me about this topic, and a look at actionwithstructure expanded what I will be sharing with them, this is the kind of resource that makes a real difference when you are trying to point a friend to something useful and reliable rather than generic marketing pages.
Easy to recommend, the content speaks for itself without needing additional praise from me, and a stop at buildcleartraction only adds more reasons to send people this way, the kind of generous resource that benefits its readers without demanding anything in return is increasingly rare and worth recognising clearly today across the broader open internet.
A piece that respected the reader by not over explaining the obvious, and a look at brightcurrent 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.
Worth marking the moment when reading this clicked into something useful for my own work, and a look at intentionalmovement extended that practical click, content that connects to my actual life rather than just being interesting is content with the highest kind of value and this site is generating that connection at a high rate.
Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at actiondrivenoutcomes maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.
Just sat back at the end of the post and felt grateful that someone took the time to write it, and a look at momentumbeforeforce extended that gratitude across more of the site, recognising effort behind quality work is part of what makes the open web a community rather than just a marketplace today.
Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at brightdwelling continued that gradual persuasion, the careful path from skeptical reader to genuine fan is the only one I trust and this site has walked me along that path through patient consistent quality across pieces.
Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at oceanprestige reflected the same humility, content that respects the reader rather than trying to dazzle them is something I always appreciate and rarely come across in this corner of the internet today across the topics I usually read.
Reading this felt easy in the best way, no friction and no confusion at any point, and a stop at progressneedsstructure carried that same comfort across more pages, the kind of editorial flow that lets you absorb information without fighting the format which is increasingly hard to find on the open web today across topics.
Took my time with this rather than rushing because the writing rewards attention, and after ideasneedpath I had even more to absorb, the kind of content that pays back the patient reader rather than punishing them with empty filler is something I look for and rarely find in regular searches lately.
Reading this slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at visiontoexecution extended that protected attention, content that earns the prime morning reading slot before the daily distractions begin is content with elevated status and this site has earned that prime slot consistently in my recent reading habits clearly.
Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after builddirectionnow I have even more reason to do so, the kind of site that earns word of mouth rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing or paid placements is always a treat to find online.
Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at visualvoyage produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.
Probably this is one of the better quiet successes on the open web at the moment, and a look at focusconstructor reinforced that quiet success quality, sites that are doing well without making a noise about doing well are the sites I most respect and this one has clearly chosen the quiet success path consistently throughout.
Took some notes for a project I am working on, and a stop at directiondrivengrowth added more raw material to those notes, content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.
Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at focusleadsaction confirmed the same depth runs throughout the rest of the site as well which is rare and worth pointing out when it happens online for any reader passing through.
Beyond the topic at hand this site reads as a small ongoing project of taking writing seriously, and a look at futurevertex reinforced that project quality, sites that treat publishing as an ongoing serious practice rather than as content production for traffic are sites worth supporting and this one has clearly chosen the serious approach.
Reading this site over the past week has changed how I evaluate content in this space, and a look at growthneedssignal extended that recalibration, the standards I bring to reading on the topic have shifted upward as a direct result of regular exposure to this kind of work and that shift will outlast any single reading session.
Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at growthfollowsmovement kept that productivity feeling going, content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.
Thanks for not padding this with the usual filler intros and outros that every other blog seems to require, and a quick visit to pathwaytoaction continued that lean approach across more posts, content stripped of waste is content that respects you and I will always come back to that kind of approach.
High quality writing, no marketing speak and no buzzwords that mean nothing, and a stop at forwardthinkingactivated kept that going, simple direct content that actually communicates something is harder to find than it should be and this is one of the rare places that gets it right consistently across many different posts.
Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one, and a stop at directionovereffort confirmed that decision, content that I want delivered to me proactively rather than just remembered when I have time is content that has earned a higher level of commitment from me as a reader looking for reliable sources.
