The Answer to Teenage Sex: More Mosques...

Sexually active young people is hardly a new phenomenon. Maybe the 'scope' of what we read about in the news now is that teenagers themselves are more open about talking about their experiences than they have ever been in the past. So, this might be a case of teenagers being more truthful about their extra-curricular activities for statistical purposes.Nevertheless, the moral and religious

Kuburan Menangis di TPU Prumpung Jakarta Timur

Kabar kuburan menangis yang terjadi di arel Pemakaman Umum (TPU) Prumpung, Jakarta Timur membuat geger warga masyarakat sekitar. Isu adanya suara tangisan dari makam almarhum Desi Tri membuat ratusan warga ramai mengunjungi makam menangis itu. Kabar adanya kuburan menangis ini juga membuat sibuk petugas kelurahan dan satpol PP serta aparat kepolisian.

Bambang, Wakil lurah Cipinang Besar Utara, sampai harus berteriak membubarkan warga.

“Tidak akan ada pembongkaran makam, ibu-ibu bapak-bapak silahkan bubar,” teriak Bambang melalui pengeras suara.

Namun imbauan itu tak ditanggapi sebagian besar warga yang tetap penasaran ingin melihat pembongkaran makam. Satpol PP dan petugas kepolisian pun terpaksa disiagakan untuk mengantisipasi hal tak diinginkan.

Apa yang menjadi penyebab fenomena kuburan menangis menjadi heboh ditengah-tengah masyarakat? Pengamat sosial, Hermawan Sulistyo menilai, mudahnya masyarakat percaya dengan hal yang berbau mistis lebih disebabkan beberapa faktor. Pertama tingkat kehidupan yang semakin sulit sehingga banyak pengangguran. Kedua sebagai bentuk pelarian masyarakat yang sumpek menghadapi kehidupan.

“Makin sulit kondisi masyarakat makin banyak fenomena seperti ini. Itu namanya escapism, bukan hiburan tapi pelarian dari kesumpekan hidup,” jelas Hermawan saat berbincang dengan detikcom, Selasa malam (22/2/2011).

Ketika kondisi itu sudah dirasakan sebagian besar masyarakat, tingkat rasionalitas mereka menjadi berkurang. Masyarakat akan cenderung mudah percaya dengan hal-hal yang secara nalar sulit diterima oleh akal sehat.

“Masyarakat percaya dengan jenglot, UFO yang katanya turun, sekarang kuburan nangis,” imbuhnya.

Suicide in Indonesia...

Suicide is a tragedy. It is not only a tragedy for those that make the ultimate choice to end it all, it is also a tragedy for those that are left behind and who must deal with the shattered lives that remain. Two things had me thinking about death and the way it is portrayed and discussed this morning: the first was an article in The Jakarta Globe and the second was seeing that "RIP Justin
