Siapa kata game tak elok?

(warning : may contain nerdiness)

Have you ever played TES 5 : Skyrim?
If you have, you will understand more about what I'm going to share.
If not, you should play it, should! (but play it moderately, Qana'ah)

In Skyrim, long after your journey, you will given an offer to meditate.
You will meditate on the 'Word of Power', which is composed of dragon language (have you ever wonder how these game developers can create a brand new language?).



This is the guy who teach your character how to meditate. Look how cool is he, handsome. If I have a teacher like this I would get 4 flat for all semesters.

You will be given 3 words to choose from. One of it is 'Fus'. 

"It is called 'Force' in you tongue. But as you push the world, so does the world push you back"

Very poetic words. The developers is really good at what they are doing.
It may seem just like a dialogue in a meaningless game. But this sentence has some truth behind it. As we fight our worldly problem, so does the problems fight you back. The handsome dragon teach the hero to understand the 'Fus' word so that he/she can push the world back.

"think of the way force may be applied effortlessly. Imagine but a whisper pushing aside all in its path. That is 'fus'. Let it's meaning fill you and you will push the world harder that it pushes back"


Think of it this way. As you understand your problems, you can solve it faster than it troubles you. That is the essence that can be learned from this short dialogue in this game. 

On the other hand, we can also apply this 'meditation'. But in our context as a muslim, we call it 'amal'. Pick a verse from the Quran, and 'meditate' on it, and our problems will become less heavier insya-Allah.

(cari benda yang positive dari game, bukan yang negative. siapa kata game tak elok? :D )
