Have you ever thought, why two people with almost the same abilities can live life in very different ways?
Why do some people continue to work until old age, while others feel that their life is finished just because they hear one word: pension?
Maybe the answer lies not in age, but in a language that is programmed into his mind every day.
We often think of language only as a means of communication. In fact, every word that is continuously repeated can shape the way a person views themselves.
Take a look at the following sentences.
“I’m old.
“I have retired.
“My task is complete.”
This sentence sounds normal. However, what if those words slowly become command which is carried out by the system in humans?
Just as computers work based on instructions, humans also receive various “programs” through language, experience, education and environment.
These programs then shape thought patterns, decisions and behavior.
Then an interesting question arises.
Have we been unknowingly programming ourselves all this time?
This is one of the interesting studies from Aqliyah Indonesia.
According to his framework, many terms that have been used by society have experienced a shift in meaning.
As a result, humans often accept a word without ever questioning its impact on the way of thinking.
This view does not reject administrative terms such as pensionbut invites us to look at it from a different angle:
Does the language we use only explain the situation, or does it actually help shape the situation itself?
This simple question opens up a much deeper discussion about the relationship between language, mindset, spirit, soul, reason and the human life system.
If you are curious why Aqliyah Indonesia chose not to use the term “pension” nor “retired service”as well as how language is seen as part of the “programming” of human systems, read the full discussion in the main article:
“Why does Aqliyah Indonesia not recognize the terms retirement or full service?“
