Every event that happens in our lives sometimes just passing through and flowing away, without any attempt to make a move reflective so that it becomes meaningless events.Supposedly, people can attempt to provide or apply a meaning to history, only then can human actions are arranged hook-mengkait and can be directed to the next day (Misnal Munir, 1997; 126).
