PENGANJUR KEBAJIKAN (ADVOCATE OF VIRTUE)

Apakah anda pernah mendengar kata “Penganjur Kebajikan”? Saya mendengar kata ini pertama kali di sebuah stasiun televisi swasta. Pada saat itu, seorang presenter membawakan diskusi yang bertema seorang penganjur kebajikan turut terlibat dalam pusaran korupsi.

Have you heard words “Advocate of Virtue? The first I heard  this words at The private television.  In that time, a presenter opened a discussion which titled advocate of virtue involved in the vortex of corruption.

Beberapa hari saya mencari arti kata “Penganjur Kebajikan.” Di kamus Bahasa Indonesia kata penganjur kebajikan berasal dari kata anjur yang berarti menyarankan dan bajik berarti baik. Wikipedia mengartikan an advocate is a type of professional person in several different legal system and a virtue is a positive trait or quality deemed to be morally good and thus is valued as a foundation of principle and good moral being.   

Someday I looked for the meaning of Advocate of virtue. I found for it in the dictionary, goggling in the internet, and asked to my friends.  Advocate of virtue was someone who order goodness. Wikipedia mengartikan an advocate is a type of professional person in several different legal system and a virtue is a positive trait or quality deemed to be morally good and thus is valued as a foundation of principle and good moral being   

Menurut pengertian pribadi penganjur kebajikan adalah orang yang menganjurkan kebajikan. Penganjur kebajikan adalah orang yang menyuruh berbuat baik. Penganjur kebajikan terdiri dua kata penganjur dan kebajikan. Penganjur artinya orang yang menganjurkan, menyarankan, atau menasehati sedangkan kebajikan artinya berbuat baik.

According to advocates of the personal sense of virtue are those who advocate virtue. Advocate of virtue is the one who told to do kindness. Advocate of virtue consists of two words advocate and virtue. Advocate means people who advocate, recommend, or advise the means to do goodness, while virtue.

Semua hasil yang saya peroleh itu kurang memuaskan saya. Hal ini menimbulkan pertanyaan lain. Jika arti penganjur kebajikan adalah orang yang menyarankan berbuat baik, berarti seorang penganjur kebajikan belum tentu dirinya berbuat baik. Boleh jadi ia menyuruh orang lain berbuat baik, namun dirinya belum tentu melakukannya. Setiap orang pun dapat menjadi penganjur kebajikan. Ibarat seorang perokok menyuruh orang lain berhenti merokok.

All the results that I was not obtained satisfactory to me. This poses another question. If the meaning of virtue advocate is one who suggested doing goodness, means an advocate of virtue itself is not necessarily doing goodness. Perhaps he or she told others to do goodness, but he or she does not necessarily do so. Each person can become advocates of virtue. Like a smoker tell other people to stop smoking.

Apalah arti sebuah nama. Yang penting kita belajar dan terus belajar di dalam hidup ini. Jangan lihat siapa yang berbicara tapi dengarlah apa kata. Kalau hal itu baik bagi kita ya laksanakan. Tapi sebaliknya, bila hal itu jelek ya kita tinggalkan.

What's name. The important thing we learned and continue to learn in this life. Do not see who is talking but listen to what they say. If it is goodness for us carried. But opposite, if it is bad so we left.
