Hourglass of Life

In my room there is an hourglass, a gift from my friend Evi Fuji Fauziyah, she was a student of Sundanese Literature Padjadjaran University who had received scholarships for exchange students to Korea at Ajou University in the program ISEP and the United States at Iowa State University in the program IELSP. At first, it was only significant at a gift from my best friend, should I keep and care. Until tonight, I get the deep meaning of the hourglass.

All this time I've never measured how minute hourglass will run. Sprinkle sand to sand through the small gap until exhausted. Well, I thought why to do that, less work wrote, yet it also just display just right. Then I imagine if my life like an hourglass, which I did not realize how much time it takes and even left in this life. Grain by grain of sand that life had slid down, indicating that there was a time that has been used, have been exhausted. Up to a point the sand runs out, and finally, we said "RESET" to God, because it was so we wasted. Maybe if the question is an hourglass that is in my room, can be time well inverted, can be filled with sand again we turned it over. Want to get bored alternating hourglass also nothing prohibiting.

But what about the hourglass of our life, can we go back and forth, can we "force" God to repeat our lives, or restore our past. I believe God still reigns over everything even time, but God's audience will not want to, because eternity is only in two places, heaven and hell, eternal life and eternal death. With the regularity of the time and the audience will not the will of God for turning the time, we often do not value our time, what if we live in a world that no time limit. Less Gee appreciates our time. Let us ponder together if we woke up with the hourglass display before us, which was already depleted sand down everything, maybe we would not care and even sleep anymore. But if the cuts are hourglass of our life, what would you regret??

"Pencapai Dana Desa selama ini masih memerlukan penyempurnaan. Tugas kita merencanakan, mengelola, dan mengawal Dana Desa ke depan akan semakin berat." -Sri Mulyani Indrawati Sesuai dengan tujuannya untuk mendorong pertumbuhan yang berkelanjutan dan ekonomi yang inklusif dan adil, Indonesia berkomitmen untuk menghindari deforestasi. Karena penyebab deforestasi sering berasal dari kegiatan di luar batas hutan, tidak cukup untuk menyelesaikan deforestasi dengan melakukan aksi-aksi terpisah yang ditujukan untuk kawasan hutan tertentu. Indonesia juga harus bekerja untuk memperkuat ekonomi pedesaan dan meningkatkan kerja sama regional dengan bekerja di berbagai yurisdiksi administratif yang mencakup tata kelola hutan.
