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..
