Smile=Sadaqoh


Dalam ajaran Islam, bersodaqohohlah walau hanya dengan tersenyum. Now, it's surprising sometime what can be found in society. Ternyata ada beberapa masyarakat yang baru belajar tersenyum! hehe2..

berikut ini ane copy paste salah satu grup yg ada di facebook. Lucunya, masyarakat mereka sendiri ternyata jenuh dengan orang budaya Briton yg ga pernah senyum n bersikap dingin dengan sesamanya, n mereka berharap masyarakat bisa berubah, walau hanya sehari. Sekarang ente tau kan kenape ane ga betah idup disono? ane rindu senyuman dan sapaan renyah simbok2 di Bantul!


Name :We're going to change Britain! WANTED: 2 Million People
Type :Common Interest - Beliefs & Causes

"We the members of this group will defy British culture by smiling, saying hello and potentially sharing a wave with people we do not know in order to change Britain."
In 2008 if you smile and say 'hello' to someone you don't know the chances are that they will think you're some kind of a crazy person after their bag or some larger part of their body. If you're lucky you might get their foot in your mouth.

We, the people who live in Britain, are fed up of silent commuter trains and journeys where people do not speak to each other. We're tired of those places where if you look at someone you are at increased risk of GBH. We're bored of a smile in the general direction of someone who thinks that they are attractive being misread/misled. Time enough we say for this Britain of darkness.

So let's reverse this reserved psychogeography of our nation(s)... for one day at least....

On (from) the 2nd of April 2008 shun unfriendly behavior, become an activist of change and...

Description :

1. Smile at everyone you make eye contact with (if they smile back, say 'Hi' or if they are a long way from you give them a wave.

2. Ask 'how do you do?' to people you walk past or sit next to. If they reply, go mad and ask them how their day is going.

...no matter who they are or what they look like. Let's go crazy and show an interest in our fellow Britons!


If 2 million Britons take part in this campaign 1 in 30 people should smile at you or say 'How do you do?'... this will change the geography of Britain as we know it... even if it is just for one day.... so please ask friends and strangers to join in.

Let's change the Geography of Britain!

A REMINDER MESSAGE CAN'T BE SENT OUT SO PUT IT IN YOUR DIARY
