Wealth, throne, and woman ware terms used to describe the peak of lust and success of a human being, especially a man. Wealth refers to the wealth owned by a person, throne describes a person's position and the power he has, while woman symbolizes a wife or in more extreme cases can symbolize the fulfillment of lust. Over time, these three things no longer just describe the peak of lust and achievement of a man, but have expanded into a problem that haunts the psychological life and personality of young people and students today.

There are many causes of this problem, but the main problem comes from the rapid development of the digital world in the last 20 years, where one can not only provide written information but has gone so far as to make humans fully connected to the world through their respective devices, many people will quickly know any information disseminated through the internet. However, this technological development has proven to be the main cause of many new problems that have emerged in the 21st century, one of which is the ease with which people can see other people's wealth, the increasing number of offers of luxury goods that make anyone want to own them and influencers who show a glamorous life of luxury. Another problem arises from the culture of sharing photos via social media, which is a problem not only about sharing what we have and potentially fostering envy in others but also fostering lust in some circles of society, although not all but like it or not the fact is that every post that shows beauty and good looks will raise lust, either directly or gradually, whether recognized or not, secretly or not.

When wealth has been acquired and women are already there, then the other things that people want to pursue are positions and power. Power in this case does not always refer to executive positions, in fact, not many people want to have such a position, what they want is related to what people think about them, they always want recognition from others, recognition that they are great, recognition that they are superior either in knowledge, mastery of the field, expertise or wealth, including if it is related to the previous topic, they have a tendency to seek a high position in their environment to seek the attention of the woman they like. In the process, it is not uncommon for someone in pursuit of "throne" to use less or even unjustified means such as demeaning others in order to be recognized as superior to others.

In reality, these three things often appear together, have a strong influence and affect each other, for example, when a person begins to desire to own a fairly expensive item, he will start thinking about how he can get it, at the same time he will think of 1001 reasons to achieve this, and there is a chance for the thrust to appear in the name of thrones and women, for example a person wants to buy a new outfit that costs a lot of money, it will occur to him to have this outfit in order to look richer in the eyes of others who are related to the throne, and in order to attract women who are related to women. And as it progresses, this person may want many other things that are equally aimed at satisfying these 3 things, and this desire will continue to grow, starting from something as simple as wanting a watch or a new outfit, to something a little more expensive like a cell phone to something more severe, like a motorcycle or even a car.

This has been the cause of many bad behaviors that occur among teenagers and students. As for wealth, there is no doubt that the desire to get wealth quickly and a lot has created a human history that is almost never separated from the name theft, and this theft is no longer like the concept of "Stealing when there is an opportunity" but has grown into "Stealing is mandatory if you want to get rich quickly".  In addition, it also fosters an attitude of wanting fast money which results in a detrimental pragmatic mentality, they feel that whatever makes money quickly and easily must be implemented, which then in this digital era results in many cases related to digital fraud, such as offers of low-priced well-known goods that lead to fraud, Ponzi schemes to the least realized is the online gambling which even logically and logically it is impossible to win and get a lot of profit because if we think rationally, there is no way there is a company that wants to just give money to people who play their games. And on a broader scale, some pragmatic jobs have emerged that will prove to be economically detrimental, for example, dropshipping imported products. People may not think that this is legitimate and halal, but in the view of some economists, this is not good for the country's economy because it will increase the demand for imported goods, which in a certain period of time can cause imbalances in the balance of trade.

So how to overcome this? Problems related to the element of Wealth and Throne can start with one of these three things before potentially causing problems caused by the other two elements, and each element has a different way of dealing with it. If we start to have problems with wealth, it is often caused by the element of envy that arises when we see other people getting something that we also want, in this kind of situation we need to realize the concept that everything we have is basically a deposit from God that sooner or later we will no longer use, it is also necessary to understand that an item will have no value if we do not want it for a good purpose, which of course the desire because of envy is not a good purpose, even if we get the item does not mean we will always be happy with it. In the case of wealth as well, it is necessary to realize that an item, Wealth, or object that has a clear and good purpose will be more likely to be granted. In addition, it is also necessary to understand that actually every Wealth we have, be it in the form of money, clothes, vehicles, gadgets, or whatever it is, will definitely be accounted for before God, so that the less Wealth we have, the less Wealth that must be accounted for.

The problem is very complex because it is very much related to the nature of a human being as a living creature, namely having lust. The desire to have a woman who can release lust is the desire of almost every man born into this world, making animal lust something that is natural and arises by itself, so compared to the problems of the other 2 elements, this element is the most difficult to deal with because it involves natural elements that exist in humans. If we ask the wise in the field of religion, they will recommend to get married immediately or if you are not able then you should lower your gaze. For young teenagers who are always in a mixed environment between men and women, always seeing and meeting women, of course this will be something very challenging if they are asked to subdue their gaze, but if we try to practice it then we will see that what they say is true, because whether we realize it or not the emergence of lustful urges begins with seeing women. But this path is not always practical, we need to understand that a person of quality does not easily fight for something that is not valuable to him, including women, so a person of quality will remain alone and avoid haram relationships until he finds the best woman and then marries her.

In terms of throne, it is actually not difficult to keep oneself from being thirsty for throne, because basically the higher a person's positio, the more responsibilities he has, both formal responsibilities and moral responsibilities that make a person feel his life becomes heavy, so this kind of thing can encourage a person to keep himself from this kind of attitude.

From all this, it is necessary to understand and always remember that in this life, if we always follow our passions to pursue satisfaction, undoubtedly it will not be able to achieve it, even what happens is the various problems that pop up in life that are endless, bringing problems in the future and lowering the quality of self that will make us unable to be grateful and enjoy what has been given by God. Rakay Gibran Algani_20230510139_Class K_AIK 1          Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta.
