Indonesia tanah surga, tongkat kayu dan batu jadi tanaman....
that's a few words from one of legendary music in Indonesia, meaning Indonesia is a heaven land that makes wood stick and stone becomes a plant, that's how we describe how fertile Indonesia land is!
Indonesia is Big, Rich, Beautiful and Diverse...
The Diverse of Culture, Heritages, History, Nature, Language, Religions, Ethnic, Mines, Oil make us RICH and DIFFERENT
That's why we as young generation has obligation to preserve our culture and nature...
Sometimes we never realize how precious our culture and nature till we lost it..
Till our culture claimed by other country , When other country really happy and respect our culture, unfortunately slowly most of our people tend to leave our culture....with the reason of modernization, coolness, traditional, old school?! it is not about cool or not cool, traditional or modern but it is about how we can always remember OUR ROOT, where we come from....
I still remember the day when I join exchange student, in the cultural night when all people wear traditional gown from each country, I bring the simplest batik from ton of my batik collection while my friends don't change their shirt, they only wear a casual t-shirt, and my friends from Singapore said something that really knock my heart and open my eye and mind "how lucky you are for having a lot of beautiful culture, unfortunately we are in Singapore we don't have that"
see how other people from other country really proud to see our culture...so I feel bad when people forget their root...
Till human only have the last tree and spring, they will never realize how valuable the nature is...Nature is a Giver, they give but never ask something in return...
I'm really sad seeing lot of people getting greedier, endlessly exploit it instead of preserve it...that's "the nature of human"...
That's why we need to come back to our conscience...KINDNESS AND EMPATHY
Indonesia has a noble culture that inherited from our anchestor....as I'm from Java, so my parents always said to me that "wong jowo ojo nganti ilang jawane">>>as javanese you should always remember our wisdom no matter how far you go....
In example..
WONG PINTER DURUNG MESTI NGERTI (Smart people not necessarily understand)
SUMELEH NRIMO ING PANDRUM (Be Grateful and Let Go, and Let God do the rest)
WONG SABAR REJEKINE JEMBAR, WONG NGALAH URIPE BERKAH (Person with big heart and patience will get lot of blessings)
URIP IKU URUP (Life must be give impact to others)
MEMAYU HAYUNING BAWANA (Preserving the universe, Resisting the Lust)
OJO LALI ASALMU BEN ORA ILANG SEJATINE AWAKMU (Always remember your root, where you are from,. so you wont loose yourself)
ADIGANG, ADIGUNG, ADIGUNA (Stay humble, keep your attitude)
OJO KAKEAN SAMBAT (Don't complain too much)
TEPO SLIRO (TOLERANCE)
To be continued....
