Mikul Dhuwur Mendem Jero, Jero-Jero Malah Kependem

Buat yang tak mengerti bahasa Jawa, peribahasa itu artinya menjunjung tinggi nama baik, dan menyembunyikan aib sebisa mungkin. Lalu aku menambahkan pelesetan “Jero-jero malah kepndem”. Sebagai sindiran kalau semuanya dipendam tanpa dicari solusinya yang ada malah tenggelam.

Lalu kenapa aku sampe pada ide ini? Ceritanya beberapa hari yang lalu, aku urun rembug pada salah satu milis. Yah memang nadanya lumayan keras, mengkritik sesuatu. Isu utamanya adalah tentang kebanggaan, dan kecintaan atas titttt harus disensor kayaknya. Tapi aku lupa, kalau ranah yang sedang aku jamah ini adalah milis ala Yogya punya. Dan aku harusnya aku bisa lihat tempat, ehmm lumayan salah juga sih he... he...

Maka bereaksilah yang lain dengan keras. Kalo yang punya saja gak merasa bangga, gimana yang lain. Lalu muncul pertanyaan pada diri sendiri. Apa kalo kita bangga, lalu harus menutup mata atas kenyataan? Tetap merasa hebat kalo ternyata keropos??? Bukankah autokritik itu justru membangkitkan semangat untuk merangsek lebih maju?

Lalu sempat aku renungkan dan teringatlah aku dengan peribahasa di atas. Ternyata memang budaya Jawa yang satu ini, benar-benar mendarah daging. Dan itulah mengapa kita gak maju-maju. Gak papa kan kalo aku ngomong lebih keras daripada di milis hi... hi... Ini kan ranahku sendiri, jadi bebas mengemukakan pendapat.

Orang Jawa terbentuk untuk terlalu gengsi mengkritik dirinya. Padahal hidup terus berputar, harus diakui kalo kita memang juga berbuat kesalahan. Kenapa begitu takutnya salah? Seharusnya kesalahan itu dievaluasi untuk diperbaiki.

Kadang-kadang aku ampe gedek-gedek dibuatnya, oalah piye tha bangsaku ini. Ada sesuatu yang salah kok maunya ditutupi aja. Kalo maksud aku kan, dibuka di kalangan internal, lalu bersama-sama dicari solusinya. Bukannya bangga-bangga membabi buta.

Kalu menurut aku sih, itu lebih baik. Daripada itu dipendam terus-menerus, yang tidak menyelesaikan masalah. Pada akhirnya meledak atau tenggelam beneran, kayak anekdot yang menjadi judul tulisan ini. Orang lebih suka terlambat menyadari, lalu kebingungan mencari solusi saat terdesak, dan tak banyak pilihan.

Semoga saja tafsiranku ini tak benar adanya, ya tapi kalo ternyata benar. Ya marilah kita bersama-sama mengubah cara pandang menyikapi sesuatu. Toh ini juga untuk kepentingan diri sendiri.

Memelihara budaya bangsa tentunya sangat diwajibkan, tapi mbok ya pilih-pilih yang bagus yang diambil. Ini kok kebijakan lama yang indah ditinggalkan, tapi justru yang gak mutu-mutu malah dipertahankan.

Haruskah aku menangis lagi, melihat cara pikir yang jelas-jelas gak penting ini. Ah mbuhhh ra ngerti. Terlalu banyak hal janggal di jagad Indonesi tercinta ini.
