Ingatkah Anda dengan Lee Yoon Hyung, usia baru 26 tahun, cantik, kaya raya. Bapaknya pimpinan Samsung Grup, raksasa elektronik Korsel, ahli waris Samsung. Kurang apa?
Tapi ternyata dia tidak punya keberanian melanjutkan hidup, usia 26 tahun dia bunuh diri. Buat apa cantik, kaya, tapi bunuh diri.
Tapi bukan itu hikmahnya, Hikmahnya adalah tidak ada hubungannya antara pencapaian finansial dengan kebahagiaan. Jika kekayaan membahagiakan, tentunya Adolf Merckle, orang terkaya di Jerman tidak akan menabrakkan badannnya ke kereta api, tentunya Michael Jackson tidak akan over dosis obat tidur. G. Vargas, presiden Brazil, tidak akan menembak jantungnya sendiri, dan Marilyn Monroe tidak akan over dosis alkohol dan obat depresi. Percayalah, uang hanya akan membahagiakan sampai titik tertentu.
Itu semua bukti nyata bahwa tidak ada hubungannya antara kekayaan, kekuasaan, keindahan paras, dan kebahagiaan. Asalkan hati kita selalu bersyukur, kita bisa bahagia walau hanya duduk dengan secangkir kopi dan keluarga di samping kita.
