66th Independence Day

Today is Indonesia's 66th Independence Day. If we talking about Independence Day,first word that cross my mind is Nationalism. Do you really know what Nationalism means?? It's not just put flag on your house for today, or attend morning insignia ceremony.. Nationalism  involves a strong identification of a group of individuals with a political entity defined in national terms, it is the belief that an ethnic group has a right to statehood, or that multinationality in a single state should necessarily comprise the right to express and exercise national identity even by minorities which also emphasizes collective identity-autonomous, united, and express a single national culture. 
Do we as an individual person already have a "real and truthful" sense of Nationalism..it's not just about how you say it outloud on your mouth, it is more than that..need a real action that you apply in your daily activity. I'm not talking about how you act as warrior to protect your own country but you can try from a simple kind of thing. For example, try to think what you can give to your country rather than ask what have country done for you.. Do a simple action that can contribute something good to your country and also can inspirate other to do the same..like not littering everywhere you like..You can call me anything you want but please..have an introspection on yourself, don't even try to judge me..you are allowed to criticize me but not judge me..except you know who really me inside, if don't just please keep your mouth shut..I'll have more respect on you if you do that..
So rather than judging people around you which is so wasting time, better you do something more useful that can contribute something not only for your country..at least for yourself..
 

have a blissful day

Do Not Criticize, Insult or Complaining ....

Hello
Today I want to share  my thoughts, enjoy!!
In our daily life, both, in the family environment at home, school or office, small friction is created between human relationships. The desire to criticize and revile others who we think has scratched our ego, pride, interest etc start to grow very big within us.The desire to criticize and revile it grows so strong over the space in our  sane thinking and without further thinking, then we will deliver an unimaginable scathing criticism with the aim that criticism foward him  will make him realize his mistake and agrees with us about the truth that we deliver.

But it is wrong, because the feedback we could get is self-defense from our criticism and those constructive and verbal criticism  turned toward us like a boomerang heat. For that, we need to realize that criticism, especially scathing criticism is futile, because it just raises a lot of hatred on us. Remember,  it is very easy to make others hate us, but to make other people cared and loved us is an act of very high level of difficulty.Everyone has the ability to criticize, even though the stupidest person has the ability to criticize well. The difficult part is to understand well and forgive others, because to do so takes super tight self-control  and big heart . A wise man once said: 

"People will most show the greatness of his soul .."

Instead of reprimanding others, let us try to understand the position of others, how do we react when we are in the same position. It would be more attractive, giving birth to kindness, sympathy and tolerance.

"To know all, then we must forgive all."

Everything is indeed easy to say but it will be a thousand times harder to implement, but it would not hurt if we start from the smallest scope that is ourselves. The good thing is, we will bring a good impact in the future.

Have a blissful day
