United
Unity in Diversity
A palm leaf ribs is easy to be broken, but it’s so difficult to break ten or twenty palm leaf ribs. Maybe, this parable has been heard many times in our ears and we know that the meaning is; if we are united, we can face many problem that come. We can face many problems if we are in the united, and that united is a strong united. To be strong, we need big power. That big power can be gotten if we attempt together.
I’ve read some articles on the magazines, news paper, or internet that now; there are many countries that don’t become a strong unity. You know America? America is a big country in the world. America has everything to pick up its citizens, but now, no anymore. America becomes devil when it made conflicts with Iraq. Actually, America is able to become the best country. It has every things, it has many foremost people in the world.
Ladies and gentlemen,
That story told about America. Now, we told about our beloved country, Indonesia. All of you have known that Indonesia is art and culture country. Indonesia has more than 400 terms, more than 13.000 islands, and 33 provinces with their own specific characteristics; but now, problems came for our country. Crime makes the characteristics of Indonesia that actually can promote Indonesia in the world become prevention to Indonesian people to become the strong unity. Indonesia’s citizen always say, “We are different. We can not be a unity.”
Javanese say, “I hate Chinese” and Maduran say, “I hate Dayak” then all of Indonesian terms are hate each other.
Ladies and gentlemen,
It’s very bad to do that. By doing that bad habit, we can’t be a strong unity. We have to dream that our country is able to be the unity in diversity. Our country must be the strong unity. To catch that dream, we must have a simple condition; UNDERSTANDING. By understanding each other, we can feel the people’s feeling. That condition will make us to lose our egocentrism. All of terms in Indonesia usually obey their tradition, without care with the other tradition. Example, in the Bali, people usually burn the corpse, that called by Ngaben. Then, in the Java, people usually bury the corpse. If they don’t have an understanding, Bali people will deride Javanese. Then, Javanese also say, ”Hah? They burn the corpse? That’s very bad habit. How cruel are they!”
But, if they have an understanding, they will say, ”Oh, what beautiful is the culture of Indonesia. I’m proud to be an Indonesian.”
If that statement has said by our paradigm, the strong unity has been here, in front of our eyes…….
Ladies and gentlemen,
Let’s be the strong unity! I believe, we can face many problems that come. Indonesia is a beautiful country, strong country, and Indonesia has every thing to be the best country.
