Jangan Marah Nanti Kena Jual

in

I am a big fan of P. Ramlee, his black and white movies especially his comedies, you may agree or you may not if I say there are some moral teaching in them. I like to explore every detail of his movies that I could think of, taking into account dialog, imagery, action, music etc. In one of his comedy 'Tiga Abdul" there is a catch-phrase "Jangan marah nanti kena jual", a written contract between 3 Abdul and Sadiqsigaraga that they must retain their anger. What is the message of this simple phrase? What happen to those who easily give way to anger? Anger gives one non-rational thinking thus in a moment of heat people say things that they don't really mean, make their blood boil which kill the light of iman and anger is one of the doors which syaitan enters the heart and iman leaves. In The Art of War written by Shun Zhu in the 6th century BC, one of the rules is simply to anger your opponent and you will have advantage over him because he will make an irrational move in anger and thus you can win. This is what Shaitan does to us, only wise man keeps himself under control but manipulators can take advantage of this situation because some people are going to encourage you to be rude when you are angry. Remember: Anger arises hatred, hatred arises envy, envy arises malice, malice arises worry, worry arises depression and depression arises black magic! Now note the danger an angry intention: The killer and killed are the same in the fire! Why the victim is also in the hell? Because both had intention to kill.
