joke

Assalamualaikum.

I know this sound stupid and everyone know and always hear about this. Joking! or in bahasa we said it as bergurau. Sometimes, we laughed at it, sometimes we laughed but deep in our heart, we really dont like that kind of joke. Sometimes we just hate it and we cant accept it.

Well, from what I have experience in my life. I just wanna say, think before you act. I know your joke means no harm to anyone else. But take a deep breath and think, will my joke affect somebody else? will my joke hurts somebody else? or will my joke makes somebody hate me?

To say the truth, I like to bergurau senda with my friends but I will usually think before I act. Because, I made mistake long time ago and because of that I become more careful of what I want to talk or joke.

For my advice, try not to joke in social media such as Twitter or Facebook or even Instagram. I know it sounds lame but it's a place where everyone, every single of your friends can read or comment about it. Even if your joke is up for 1 minute in Twitter, there must be someone out there who read that and misunderstand about it.

In addition, your joke involves somebody else? That person might be hurt because of your joke or misunderstand it. You didnt know him/her, what will he/she think about it? Do you know what comes through him/her mind after reading it?

As I know, everyone makes mistake. But a mistake that involves someone else (the world if it's in social media) is hard to fixed. As I said before, a broken glass can be fixed but it will never ever be the same as before.

My last words, please I'm begging everyone who read this, try to think before you do something. It's not that I dont like your silly joke but try consider the environment/the effect of the joke. As the malay said "bergurau jangan tak kena tempat"

Till then.

Sincerely

Khairy Khasimi
