For example, there is a cafe where the price of black coffee is 2,500. Using English for black coffee, the price becomes 25,000.
Banana compote, the price is 5,000, but using English, it becomes banana soup, changing to 50,000.
And usually at reunions, the most annoying question for those who are not married is "when are you getting married?" that is very annoying.
Actually, marriage is easy, marriage is cheap, the expensive ones are showing off. So actually I ask the government to help us who are not married, but don't have the money. Create something called KPR (People's Marriage Credit).
The requirements are easy, no divorce before the credit is paid off. If you can't pay, the wife will be confiscated by the state.
Sometimes the reunion provides an atmosphere of enthusiasm, even if only for a moment. But at least, too much flashback is also not good. That's why if you get together with friends, it should be considered as something positive.
So what are reunions usually like?
I often have reunions, once every six months. I haven't met my kindergarten friends for a long time, my kindergarten friends are no longer around, they are old. My kindergarten friends are now doctors, lecturers, novelists, entrepreneurs, and so on.
Actually, I don't like coming to reunions, because if I come, I'm there, and my friends like to show off. Showing off their cars, showing off their houses, showing off their blood pressure, showing off their cholesterol. What kind of event is this?
Reunions mean a reunion of people who were in the same school, class, and struggle.
I am a person who values friendship, once a friend, a friend forever.
One of the countries that values the meaning of friendship is Italy. We know how mafia protects each other. Sometimes they prioritize each other more than their brothers.
Well, that's why I'm talking about friendship, reunions. Yesterday I went to Italy, so there's a book about reunions, a book about friendship. There's a chapter about reunions, it's a good book. The title is "Maydire Adiro." Written by an American of Italian descent. This book in English, "Never say goodbye, you are meant by holding on to never say die goodbye.
I will not say goodbye to my friends, friends are everything.
So in the book it is written that there are five reasons why people do reunions.
The first, the reason is bareto emuto, so it's like a melody of memory. Every reunion that tells the same thing again, the same thing again. But for some reason we always laugh, always entertained, even to the point of crying remembering being imprisoned together, fighting together, being rejected by our crushes, and so on.
The second reason why people do reunions is, pointing to my friends who are already successful. This is not showing off, what that means is that if we are successful, hopefully it will inspire other friends to also progress, like that.
If we keep thinking negatively, we will be jealous, but if we think positively, it can be a motivation and inspiration for ourselves.
The third reason people hold reunions is that it is the most appropriate time to say thank you and sorry.
If in the past we were in school, we committed a sin against a friend, we didn't meet for 10, 20, 25 years. When we met, we said sorry, or thank you.
The fourth reason why people hold reunions is to open up networking.
The last one is it's time to party.
Because when we were young, we are different now. Physically, in terms of age. But if we meet someone from the same generation, let's party like 25 years ago.
There are five types of reunion participants. I don't know which one, so please think about it with my friends here.
So the first type is the superstar type. So since school he has been famous, renowned. If the men are basketball players, the women are cheerleaders.
So he has been famous since the beginning. When there is a reunion, everyone knows, all classes know, "oh this is the one who used to be the OSIS chairman."
The second type of person who comes to the reunion is the type of person who likes to lie. Uuhhh,, keeps talking, has this, has that, has been there, has been there. When he comes, he rides a beat-up motorbike.
The third type is the type whose face is different, everything, face body is different. It used to be beautiful, how come now, oh my, it's a bit less so.
Or in the past, the feeling in the past is that I'm sorry, my body is fat, short, why is it now slim and beautiful like a violin playing.
The fourth type is the type of person who shows off. Different from the uncle. If omdo, talking big, the item isn't there. If it's il adiqu, it's rich. For example, he shows off his nice watch, or takes out the car keys and turns it around in front of his friends at the reunion. There is a model friend like that.
The last type of people coming to the reunion is the angry type. So those are some types of friends during reunions.
Here is a wise saying from a writer in Pakistan, which I have translated into Indonesian, he said "Always maintain friendship, so that you will have lots of fortune."
Well, that's how I see it. And in reunions like that, there is a value of friendship. Hopefully, it can prolong life, get lots of fortune. Because in every reunion itself, there are usually people who pray for each other. The more people who pray, the more positive it is.
But actually, I am one of those who really supports reunions, because there are so many positive things, there are only worries. Sometimes when we have elementary, middle, or high school reunions, we definitely had crushes during our school days. It can't be denied, sometimes when we meet someone we used to have a crush on, when we see them, there's a trembling feeling, right? So sometimes that's my concern. People say that if you want to have a CLBK, change the word ex to alumni, so you can have a reunion. A reunion is an event to unravel and review old memories. Memories of all the goodness and beauty that are tucked away in the pages of our memory book about everything. Even tragedies over time will become memories that bring laughter. Isn't humor just tragedy plus time, said Mark Twain?
According to several studies in the United States, reunions have a positive side. A socializing event to re-establish friendship ties. And someone who is surrounded by many friends and relatives, the possibility of dying sooner is reduced by 50% compared to those who do not have a social life. Friendship can help extend life by an average of 3.7 years longer. Because emotional support from friendship can help reduce the burden of problems that can trigger stress and severe depression that cause death. This is also scientific proof of religious teachings, that friendship prolongs life. But there is also a negative side, because reunions are often used as an event to party, show off wealth, power and power that hurts the feelings of friends who are less successful. Or on the contrary, it becomes an extortion event for those who are considered successful in their generation, including to finance the reunion.
So the point is, wrongly interpreting reunions can be an event to hurt and injure, correctly interpreting it, reunions can be an event for friendship that is fun and healthy for the heart.
