Talking about President-to-be

Finally, Mr. SBY followed my advice :p. He invited both president candidates for an ifthar in state palace, with hope that  both candidates would create such peace impression to calm their supporters in connected with the result calculation from KPU, July 22.

I had a chance to watch the event on TV, and the first thing I noticed was everybody looked so tense. Why? Wasn't it suppose to be a friendly event, they had to eat on the same table, how could they're not smiling to each other? I just couldn't believe my eyes. These people like nobody in the posters, who always smiled in their pictures with promising sentences this and that.

I think the greatest self control of a human being is his attitude towards people no matter how he feels. We are talking about our leaders to be, we expect nothing but the best from them, sometimes we forget that they are humans too like us, who constantly make mistakes, scared and confuse. But also just like us, they must not stop improving.

This is what I'm talking about. God knows human are full of mistakes, full of capacity to destroy things. But He also knows that only human that can repair the ruins, only human that can improve the quality of life. Quality of this world.

I can relate this to our nation right now. It's breaking my heart to see us divided into two different parties. I think we have lost our nature of respecting other people's choice, and we have started a war in social media, making fun of the candidate that we don't choose. A lot of smart people I know, also played with their witty words, some of the words were potentially provocative. Why? 

It's very easy to arrange a black campaign in Indonesia because we easily accept and pass the information, completed with our opinion, which sometimes, we realize or not, provocative or disrespectful to other person who happened to have a different opinion with us. Therefore we can easily found on the internet, a useless debate that absolutely clueless and sometimes dumb.

Why can't we just respect other people's choice? Why can't we stop judging a person from his political view? Why can't we just stop manipulating things and cheating only for our choice to win? Why can't we honor this democratic process and let the majority votes win? 

I'm sure there are tons of foreign interests are trying to shape this nation to be their object. We are great in natural resources, which they eager to exploit, we are great in human resources, which is potential for marketing their product. Why can't we now think as a nation who won't give a damn of what other countries think or plan, so we can start work for our own prosperity?

I personally will accept whoever candidate who win this election. Whoever becomes the president, people of Indonesia must work hard to feed ourselves from any resources that we have, we must stop depend on imports, we have to strengthen our identity as a nation who proud of its diversity, we must keep on watching the regulation and its officials not to take side on the wrong ones, we must learn how to kill corruption from the roots, we must learn to keep this country clean and guarantee everyone is safe, as long as he is not criminal. We have to be firm to criminals, but respect others' rights as long as it's not intimidating others as well. 

I think this country needs a vision, and we need to find our similarity to be able to love it and make it even stronger. 

May the chosen one able to take us to prosperity and glory. So help us, God. Amiiin....
