Telling lie or what would people say
dishonest is an act which has so many motives behind. It derives from people
needs to get some profit in the tight situation. People maybe telling lies to
win the admiration of others, to avoid embarrassment, to exercise power over
others by controlling the information the target has, to obtain a reward not
otherwise readily obtained, and so on. Therefore, we cannot say that telling
lie is negative at all, because there is might be a good reason, like to maintain
privacy without notifying others of that intention, defend the truth or protecting
someone else from danger. But, however, lying can be a double-edged knife which sharpness can affect life and personality so badly.
Although
it is often understimated, people’s life can be seriously in danger by several
effects of lying. First, lying can destroy relationship. In life, human can not
live alone, so relationship which is built on trust is very important. It is
very hard to get trust. By just one act of lying, trust can be dissapear and it
can be very difficult to rebuild. Until, the lack of trust ruins someone life
in society, then it affects to career, economy, family image, and many others
life aspects. Second, lying can change lifestyle. To keep a little white lies alone
is not easy, it creates anxiety that brings eat and sleep issues. Third, lying can make someone addicted. It is like
snowball, little by little, the bigger it can be until it makes someone good becomes
villain and trapped at jail in the end.
Besides giving bad effects to life,
lying also gives some for personality. First, lying can lead someone losing
their identity. If someone is telling lies to cover the true identity for over
and over, the untruth facts will be truly believed because of illusory truth
effect. Then, someone will be too
comfortable to be a person who is not himself. For example, poor people claim
they are rich, telling lies if they have everything but nothing for real until
something bad happened. Second, lying can change kind personality into a bad
one. With lies that are increasingly piling up, a person might lose his mind
because being stressed to think the ways to cover up those lies. For example, being
afraid to meet friends, looks moody, panic, and likes to yell even to parents
in order to defend the lies. Third, lying can decrease self-esteem. Because, when
someone tells lie too often, he will start to think less of himself.
Telling a tiny lie in order to keep
someone in a good mood, like giving praise to friend even though his food is
not delicious enough, is perfectly fine. But, if a person is covering up something
essential to himself, or can not address the truth for beneficial things that
not supposed to obtain, it can have negative effects, especially for life and
personality. Therefore, in essence, telling lies is indeed an act that human
must get rid of in order to avoid bad things happen in the present life or in
the future.
Postscript : This essay was made by using outline technique. I will show you the outline below.
Have you ever seen ghost in real
life, but wondered whether it is just an illusion and an illogical thing to be
believed? You are not the only one. It has been a common human stereotype to put
ghost just in an imagination and choose not to dive too deep for something
which does not make sense. That is so natural because a supernatural entity
like ghost often appears in fictional stories only. But, not a few people deny these
stereotypes. A 2013 The HarrisPoll found that 42% among 2.250 adults of
Americans believe in ghost. In addition, a
2014 YouGov poll for The Sun also found that 34% of 1629 British
adults believe in ghosts – and 9% have communicated with the dead. Eventhough
there is no scientific proof and logic for the existence of ghost, as a human
being, we should believe it because ghost takes a big role in underlying
mankind cultural heritage, religions, and personal life.
In
particular perspective, cultural heritages seemingly serve as a glimpse of ghost
existence. Ghosts appear firstly in the beginning of literacy era, precisely in
ancient Sumerian relief as a reflection of soul and spirit after death. Although,
it is considered as a product of mankind’s fear of death (Danelek, 2006), the
belief of ghost becomes a part of cultures and affects the society toward the
way Mesopotamian invented traditional healing practice ascribed a variety of illnesses to the action of ghosts (Black
et al., 1992). Meanwhile, in Bali, Indonesia, ghosts considered as negativity that
must be destroyed. It becomes a foundation of Ter-teran tradition (fire war) in
Karangasem, Bali which function is to expel evil spirits before the Day of
Silence. There are also spiritual problems in society which only can be solved
by using spiritual cultural ancestorian solution e.g santet (voodoo in
Indonesia) like preparing 7 forms of flower, frankincense, chicken blood, and
so on. By believing in ghost existence, we maintain the cultural heritages and we
also can solve an unexplained problem which related to supernatural world.
The existence of ghost which is
unseen has influenced ‘extraordinary’ people personal life. As we know that
such a popular horror movie, Annabelle is based on the true story of American
paranormal investigators, Edward and Lorraine Warren. It is one of their notable
paranormal investigation besides the case of Perron family, Amityville, Enfield
poltergeist, Demons, Snedeker house, Smurl family, Werewolf, and the case of
Union cemetery. The spiritual world that they believe makes them be able to investigate
something out of reason, something which cannot be explained with science, and
something cannot be seen. But, surprisingly, it is real. It means, by believing
ghosts is exist, we will be more appreciate ‘extraordinary’ people instead consider
them crazy.
Ghost
appear to be something we must believe not so much on a rational, empirical
level, but on an intuitive or even emotional level. It is something we feel to
be true eventhough few of us have ever had a genuine paranormal experience. Their
illusory truth effect brings the addition of universe mystery and reinforce our
inherent beliefs that there is much more to the cosmos than what tiny bit we
can see from our limited vision. Besides that, the believe of ghost existence
also enriches mankind’ cultural heritage, the ways of thinking in overcoming
spiritual problems, strengthening human faith, and building empathy toward ‘extraordinary’
people. That is why we should believe in ghost.

There were many scary events that I
have ever experienced in this life. Once, I went to my neighbour’s house, then
a vicious dog chased me like it had a rabies symptom. Another scary thing, I
saw a horrific accident in the big road which the victim’s head broke into
half. I also experienced a big black
spider came toward my face when I was sleeping—that was gross. Although, there are
many untold stories which I can not write down all here, I am so excited to tell
one of my unforgetable horror story which is still dreadfully frightening my
mind.
I had a creepy experience when I returned home after joining
AKM (Ajang Kreativitas Mahasiswa) 2019 activities in campus. It was a cloudy cold night while the clock on my
phone was striking at one forty-five. I had to pass a quite and dark road along
the way back. I also had to ride my motorcycle into a narrow alley next to Yeh
Taluh river to return home. I did it with no fear and hoped anything could run
well. But, something wrong happened in the halfway through. When I arrived to
that alley, I smelled weird fragrance like a mixture of sandalwood and frangipani.
“Why do I smell this pungent odor ? There are no frangipani and sandalwood
trees surrounding the road” I thought. I pretended to act careless and I
continued the ride. But, the further I got, the more goosebumps I felt.
Picture 1.1 Passing the dark road
(https://tenor.com/view/dark-road-scary-creepy-road-gif-14071125)
Once in a while, I turned my sight to the left and
right. How surprised I was when I slightly saw a rather mysterious black tall
man at my neighbour’s backyard. I assumed ‘it’ was a man because of the glympse
of his body posture. I did not see his face clearly, he was tall and black like
a silhouete. His head did not face me, he just faced straight ahead. He stood firmly
between banana and mango trees with folded arms across his chest. “Who the hell
is he? Is he a stalker?” I mumbled. After passing my neighbour’s backyard, I
arrived home rapidly and kept that questions in my head until the morning was
coming.
The
day after, I wanted to seek the answer of
those enigma. I chatted my neigbour to release my curiosity. “Good morning, may
I ask you something?” I asked. “For pleasure. What is it ?” she replied. “Do
you have siblings or kinsman who love to stay late and stand in your backyard?”
I asked. “Of course not. I live here just with my husband and my father-in-law.
What happened last night ?” she asked me back. “Nothing. I just wanted to ask
you. Chill out.” I answered her pretending that nothing happened. I was shocked
and silently endured from fear. I admitted that I was very scared till I
scarcely breathed and stoned like a statue. I did not find the answer, but a
stubborn puzzle with creepy sauce.
I
never really believed a supernatural entity before, until I saw it before my eyes.
After a long research and contemplation,
I found that it was a supernatural entity called ‘Gede Selem’ according to Balinese
faith. It was a matter that should not be asked furthermore. I had nothing to
do with it. But, I had a difficulty to forget this experience. Everytime I
passed the alley toward my house, I felt uncomfortable and scared. I always
prayed to God or even rang the bell of my motorcycle for three times in order
to avoid an unconditional meeting with supernatural entity. So, in essence,
this experience was indeed the creepiest embodiment of nightmare that peered me
day after day forever.
Music
genres are very important for song lovers who want to know which songs are
suitable to listen to. Actually, the song lovers might have different criteria
to choose music. It depends on their mood, character, and situation. For
example, punk rock songs are intended to be a spirit catalyst for laziness, rap
songs are intended to be a media to confide, and also R&B songs to dance
and sing together. But, eventhough I have listened to many songs with
various music genres, my soul only emerges and enjoys classical music.
The
best music genre to my mind is classical. Classical music always be able to
control my emotions whether it is sad or happy. The sadness usually comes from
Chopin’s masterpiece like Nocturne Chopin Op. 9, No. 2, while the
happiness from Beethoven's, Bach’s, Tchaikovsky’s and Mozart’s. Their songs touch the
deepest of my brain through my ears gently like a mild aesthetic. When I mess up, the soft tones soothe my nerves and release the pain in my heart. If I close my eyes during listening
to classical music, I will see a reflection of Renaissance age and dance like
a nobleman in Neuschwanstein castle. I feel peaceful and joyful as I live in my
imagination world. Therefore, I can listen to classical music everyday,
especially when studying, sleeping, and riding my bicycle along the way.

I have been trying to listen to any songs with different
genres and I love it, because songs are equally entertaining. But, there are no
songs that can free up my soul in the prison called 'Earth', except classical music.
With classical music, I could make my total appreciation that maybe I only do for a
few times in my life. So that, in essence, my favorite music genre which is indeed
suitable for my soul is still classical.
"Bila pemilihan presiden diadakan sekarang, Jokowi masih unggul atas Prabowo Subianto," kata peneliti Indikator, Burhanuddin Muhtadi, di kantor Indikator, Jalan Cikini V, Jakarta Pusat, Selasa (8/1/2019). Meski demikian, masih terlihat cukup banyak responden yang belum menentukan pilihan atau merahasiakan pilihannya. Selain itu, masih ada serangkaian debat capres-cawapres yang bakal dimanfaatkan setiap pasangan calon untuk merebut pemilih yang belum menentukan pilihan ini.
Berikut hasil 3 survei terakhir untuk Pilpres 2019:
Survei Indikator
Periode: 16-26 Desember 2018 Metode: random sampling Responden: 1.220 orang Margin of Error: 2,9 persen
Dirangkum detikcom, Selasa (8/1/2019), penegakan hukum menjadi materi dalam debat capres-cawapres pertama. Cawapres Sandiaga Uno mengaku akan mengangkat kasus teror terhadap penyidik senior KPK, Novel Baswedan.
"Ada kemungkinan (mengangkat kasus Novel dalam debat perdana) karena masalah korupsi itu kan sudah sangat akut, ada di stadium 4. Kalau kanker, kalau penyakit, sudah sangat kronis," kata Sandiaga di Bulungan, Jakarta Selatan, Selasa (8/1/2019).
Menurut Sandiaga, dengan mengangkat kasus-kasus yang masih berjalan, bisa memudahkan masyarakat mengambil kesimpulan tentang kinerja penegakan hukum pemerintahan Jokowi.
"Secara kontekstual pasti akan lebih mudah untuk mengangkat topik-topik atau kasus-kasus yang sedang berjalan dan dirasakan oleh masyarakat mana yang sudah adil, mana yang belum dirasakan keadilannya. Nah ini yang menjadi tugas kita bersama-sama tim menyiapkan," ujar Sandiaga.
Lalu bagaimana dengan kubu sebelah? Kubu Jokowi-Ma'ruf sudah melakukan persiapan. Pasangan Joko Widodo-Ma'ruf Amin mendapat bantuan dari tiga mantan penyiar televisi dalam persiapan debat.
"Mantan-mantan penyiar TV, ada saya, Putra Nababan, Tina Talisa, yang semuanya pengalaman lebih dari 10 tahun di layar kaca," ujar Jubir TKN Jokowi-Ma'ruf, Meutya Hafid.
Bukan hanya tiga eks presenter TV itu saja yang membantu Jokowi-Ma'ruf dalam persiapan debat. Setidaknya ada sekitar 15 orang yang masuk tim debat yang merupakan tim kecil dari TKN.
Untuk isu, pasangan nomor urut 01 itu akan membahas hal-hal yang nyata yang sudah dirasakan oleh masyarakat. Sekretaris Tim Kampanye Nasional (TKN) Jokowi-Ma'ruf Amin, Hasto Kristiyanto, menambahkan, pihaknya tidak akan bawa hal-hal yang mengawang-awang di materi debatnya.
"Kita bicara hal-hal yang nyata dirasakan oleh rakyat dan bagaimana pemimpin menjawab itu. Bukan hal hal yang di awang-awang. Hal yang membumi yang dirasakan rakyat itu nanti akan diberi jawaban oleh Pak Jokowi-Ma'ruf Amin," ucap Hasto, terpisah.

Jakarta - Pekan depan capres Joko Widodo (Jokowi) dan Prabowo Subianto akan berhadapan dalam panggung debat perdana Pilpres 2019. Tema untuk debat kali ini yakni 'Hukum, HAM, Korupsi dan Terorisme'.

Jokowi dan Prabowo sebetulnya sudah pernah bertemu di atas panggung debat capres pada Pilpres 2014. Kini mereka kembali akan kembali berhadapan, namun dengan pasangan duet yang berbeda.
Baik pasangan Jokowi-KH Ma'ruf Amin maupun Prabowo-Sandiaga Uno sudah menyiapkan visi-misi hingga program kerja yang telah dikumpulkan ke KPU sejak beberapa bulan lalu. Pada dokumen yang mereka kirim tertulis janji-janji terkait hukum, HAM, penanganan korupsi, hingga menanggulangi terorisme.
Berikut perbandingan gagasan Jokowi-Ma'ruf dan Prabowo-Sandiaga sesuai tema debat perdana Pilpres 2019:

'Masyarakat perlu informasi sebanyak-banyaknya,' Presiden Jokowi tanggapi kontroversi iklan bioskop
Hak atas fotoANTARA FOTO/AKBAR NUGROHO GUMAYImage captionBakal calon Presiden Joko Widodo (kedua kanan) berjabat tangan dengan bakal cawapres Ma'ruf Amin (kanan), Wapres Juuf Kalla (kedua kiri) dan pengusaha Erick Thohir usai memberikan keterangan terkait formasi tim sukses kampanye Pilpres 2019 di Jakarta, Jumat (07/09).
Diprotes keras kubu Prabowo-Sandiaga, Presiden Joko Widodo akhirnya angkat bicara perihal tayangan iklan kinerja pemerintah di bioskop yang dituding sebagai kampanye terselubung.
Sambil tertawa ringan, Presiden Jokowi menyatakan iklan itu informasi kinerja pemerintah yang harus disampaikan skepada masyarakat oleh Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika.
"Itu memang tugas Kominfo (Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika) menginfokan mana apa yang sudah, mana yang dalam proses, mana yang akan, dan mana yang belum (dikerjakan pemerintah)," kata Jokowi di Bogor, Jumat (14/9).
Di hadapan wartawan, Joko Widodo mengatakan, pemberitahuan kinerja pemerintah kepada masyarakat itu mirip yang dilakukan Kementerian Penerangan di masa Orde Baru.
"Kalau dulu, misalnya, Menteri Penerangan yang menerangkan (program pemerintah). Lalu masak suruh diem gini, gimana sih?" kata Jokowi, kemudian tertawa, sambil memperagakan menutup mulut.
Presiden; 'Kewajiban Menkoninfo'
Ditanya wartawan bahwa iklan itu dianggap tidak tepat karena bertepatan dengan peristiwa pemilu, Presiden mengatakan: "Tiga, (atau) empat tahun lalu sudah saya sampaikan, baik lewat Youtube, (atau) televisi."
"Itu kewajiban Menkoinfo," katanya lagi. "Itu amanat Undang-Undang. Dilihat saja (materi UU)."

Kampanye terselubung? 'Hentikan tayangannya'
Sebelumnya, tayangan iklan kinerja pemerintahan Joko Widodo yang diputar semenjak pekan lalu di jaringan bioskop di seluruh Indonesia, telah diprotes oleh partai pendukung Prabowo-Subianto.
Iklan yang dibuat oleh Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika ini dituding sebagai kampanye terselubung untuk kepentingan Joko Widodo dalam pemilihan presiden tahun depan.
"Kominfo harus tahu batasan-batasan mana yang boleh dilakukan, dan mana yang tidak boleh dilakukan. Bioskop itu ruang privat, karena orang yang membayar yang bisa masuk," kata politikus Partai Demokrat, Ferdinand Hutahean, kepada BBC News Indonesia, Kamis (13/09).
Menurutnya, semua iklan kinerja pemerintah yang menonjolkan Presiden Jokowi, sudah bisa dilkatakan sebagai kampanye, karena dia mencalonkan lagi sebagai kandidat presiden.
"Jadi, kalau ada iklan tentang kinerjanya itu adalah kampanye, dan harus dihentikan, dan tidak bisa masuk ke ruang privat seperti bioskop," tegas Ferdinand.
Protes serupa juga diteriakkan politikus Partai Gerindra, Fadli Zon, yang juga menuntut agar iklan itu dihentikan dari tayangannya di bioskop-bioskop.
Presiden: 'Kita ingin menyampaikan apa adanya'
Kepada wartawan, Presiden Jokowi mengatakan pula bahwa masyarakat memerlukan informasi perihal kinerja pemerintah "sebanyak-banyaknya".
"(Yaitu) menginfokan mana apa yang sudah, mana yang dalam proses, mana yang akan, dan mana yang belum (dikerjakan pemerintah)," katanya.
"Kita ingin menyampikan apa adanya," katanya lagi.
Hak atas fotoDETIK.COM/DENITA BR MATONDANGImage captionMenurut politikus Partai Demokrat, Ferdinand Hutahean, semua iklan kinerja pemerintah yang menonjolkan Presiden Jokowi, sudah bisa dilkatakan sebagai kampanye, karena dia mencalonkan lagi sebagai kandidat presiden.
Dalam iklan berjudul "Dua musim 65 bendungan" itu menampilkan video sejumlah bendungan yang sebagian dibangun di masa Presiden Jokowi.
Pembuat iklan, yaitu Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika, juga menampilkan seorang petani yang digambarkan mendukung kebijakan pembangunan bendungan karena dianggapnya bermanfaat.
Dalam tayangan di Youtube, video berdurasi empat menit 30 detik itu juga menampilkan video dan suara Presiden Joko Widodo.
Bantahan Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika
Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika, yang membuat iklan ini, membantah iklan kinerja pemerintahan Joko Widodo tentang pembangunan puluhan bendungan itu sebagai kampanye terselubung.
"Sama sekali tidak benar kalau iklan layanan masyarakat yang kami sampaikan di bioskop beberapa hari ini sebagai bentuk kampanye," kata Kepala Humas Kemkominfo, Ferdinandus Setu kepada BBC News Indonesia, Kamis (13/09).
Menurutnya, pihaknya hanya menjalankan amanat UU sebagai humas pemerintah.
"Kami berkewajiban untuk senantiasa menyampaikan kepada publik, hal-hal, capaian-capaian, program yang sedang dan telah dilakukan dan apa yang akan dilakukan pemerintah saat," papar Ferdinandus.
"Kebetulan saja pemerintaan saat ini adalah pemerintahan Jokowi-JK, dan kebetulan pula Pak Jokowi akan running lagi dalam pencapresan tahun depan," tambahnya.
Hak atas fotoPERLUDEMImage caption"Cerita terhadap keberhasilan Presiden Jokowi mungkin akan biasa-biasa saja, kalau dia tidak dalam proses untuk berkontestasi sebagai bakal calon pasangan presiden," kata pimpinan Perludem, Titi Anggraeni.
"Tapi sebenarnya tidak ada hubungan sama-sekali dengan kampanye politik," katanya lagi.
Iklan terkait pembangunan bendungan ini pertama kali ditayangkan di bioskop sejak 8 September lalu dan akan diakhiri sampai 20 September 2018 nanti. "Kami merancangnya pada 2017 lalu," ungkap Ferdinandus.
Dia menambahkan pihaknya memilih bioskop karena pihak pengelolanya menyediakan ruang untuk tayangan iklan.
"Nah kami menggunakan kesempatan itu, karena ketika kami pasang iklan di situ, itu terukur," ujarnya.
Selain itu, pihaknya memilih memasang iklan di bioskop karena belakangan ini animo penonton terhadap film Indonesia mengalami pertumbuhan.
"Bayangkan dari Januari sampai Agustus, penonton film Indonesia itu mencapai 36 juta orang," kata Ferdinandus.
Apa yang bisa dilakukan Badan Pengawas Pemilu?
Dihubungi secara terpisah, anggota Bawaslu, Ratna Dewi Pettalolo menyatakan pihaknya tidak bisa bertindak karena iklan tersebut "tidak masuk kategori kampanye".
"Karena sekarang ini belum ada penetapan Pak Jokowi sebagai calon presiden. Jadi tentu kapasitas yang ditayangkan itu adalah sebagai Presiden," kata Ratna Dewi kepada BBC News, Kamis (13/09).
"Jadi, (iklan) itu bagian dari program pemerintah," tambahnya.
Dengan demikian, lanjutnya, Bawaslu belum memiliki kewenangan untuk menyikapi tayangan iklan kinerja pemerintahan Jokowi yang diprotes oleh sejumlah politikus pendukung Prabowo-Sandiaga.
'Hindari ruang yang bisa menjadi kontroversi'
Bagaimanapun, Direktur Eksekutif Perkumpulan untuk Pemilu dan Demokrasi (Perludem), Titi Anggraini, mengatakan, rrotes keras kubu Prabowo-Sandiaga terhadap iklan kinerja pemerintahan Joko Widodo yang diputar bioskop tidak perlu terjadi apabila pembuat iklan tidak mengarahkannya kepada keberhasilan individu presiden.
Semestinya, jika diniatkan sejak awal sebagai iklan kinerja pemerintah, Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika - sebagai pihak pembuat iklan - akan lebih memberi porsi kepada jajaran kementerian dalam materi iklan-iklannya, kata Titi.
"Karena program-program, misalnya, capaian pembangunan bendungan, dan lain-lain itu 'kan capaian pembangunan oleh kementerian," kata Direktur Eksekutif Perkumpulan untuk Pemilu dan Demokrasi (Perludem), Titi Anggraini, kepada BBC News Indonesia, Kamis (13/09).
Menurutnya, dari beberapa iklan pemerintah yang beredar di masyarakat terkesan menonjolkan sosok Joko Widodo, sehingga rentan ditafsirkan sebagai kampanya terselubung terkait pilpres.
"Cerita terhadap keberhasilan Presiden Jokowi mungkin akan biasa-biasa saja, kalau dia tidak dalam proses untuk berkontestasi sebagai bakal calon pasangan presiden," katanya.
Titi menekankan hal itu karena segala hal yang berkaitan dengan kepentingan kontestasi, akan menjadi sorotan kedua pihak yang bersaing, selama menjelang pilpres.
"Jadi menurut saya, siapa pun itu, mestinya menghindari ruang-ruang yang bisa menjadi kontroversi," katanya lagi.
Hal lain yang dikritisi Titi Anggraini adalah penggunaan bioskop sebagai medium menayangkan iklan kinerja pemerintahan Jokowi.
