The Power of Termites

You know the termites? Termites are small animals that eat the wood used. Termites are known as pests that can damage our homes, our home at least material made of wood. Strength of termites was incredible, a large building could be destroyed by these small animals. But not only is it strength. Besides having the power to damage, termites also have the power to build.

Termites have the power to build a nest complete with Air Conditioning systems plus its a nice layout with a height up to 9 meters. This is a remarkable achievement for the termite's body alone has only a high of about 3 mm only. This means that termites are able to build his home up to 3,000 times her height.

While humans, with various equipment and materials advanced, until now not been able to build a building with a height of up to 1,000 times the height. Until now the tallest building which has made a new man to a height of about 1000 meters.

How termites could build such a high place? There are two lessons we can get from termites:
They work together in building the nest. Small and weak body could be overcome by working together. Working together to make them a powerful force both in destroying and building.
They work by instinct, which is the nature that God gave to these creatures. They have no knowledge of architecture. They do not have knowledge with air conditioning and spatial. They never lectures how preserve food. They are able, because they live in nature.

Human beings should have the ability to far more devastating to lose that ability because it is caused by two things.

The first, if someone is no longer willing to cooperate with fellow brothers. Arrogance and pride prevented them to work together so that the results obtained are not optimal. "I can, I'm great, and I am able. Why cooperate? "People who say this are those who lose a lot of potential for success in life.

The second lesson, many people who are far from nature. They live in their own way. Ways produced by reason alone that was weak and flawed. And we have a way of life consistent with human nature because of the way life is created by our Creator. Way of life is the Qur'an and Hadith of the Prophet.

Hopefully, through this gemblengan month of Ramadan, we all return to our original nature (Idul Fitri) and has a high social life. Thus we can restore our true potential, both for the success of the world and the hereafter. Amen
