You know that unavoidable moment when your wife asks you to be a little more frequent in saying that you love her. I wonder if my country Indonesia could speak, She'd asks the same out of all the people who born, live, breathe, feed, and love in Her bosom.From now on, I promise to proclaim my love for Indonesia a bit more often. For no particular reason really. I just love this country so much, the people, the beauty of the land, the culture (I mean we have 400 different tribes, and 400 or more languages for God sake), the never ending promise, pride, and joy this land has given to me. To us.
I don't really care what people may say.
This high time is exactly the reason I get so angry to see politicians, time and again, fail to live up to the pride of our flag. Politics have been such a dog eat dog arena, and have drag this great nation to places She isn’t suppose to.
I can’t do anything about that now. We can’t do much more about that now. Nevertheless, there’s nothing wrong in showing your love to your country from time to time.
In this troubled times we might want to remember the old cliché asking about what have you done to your country. I wish in the end I could die and be able to proudly say that I've given everything that I could to serve my country.
( This is for all my high school friends who serve in Lebanon, I envy you guys! )
d'accord Heru..
ReplyDeleteI love you my Indonesia..
Hi Abby :)
ReplyDeleteIya nih, prihatin liat media tv dan koran :) isinya jarang yang menginspirasi orang buat cinta bangsa.
Kayaknya mulai dari diri kita masing-masing dulu yah, saling mengajak :)
Makasih dah mampir-mampir :)
emang susah sih skrg kalo aku liat, orang2 maunya berhomogen semua, ga boleh ada yg beda..
ReplyDeletepadahal kita hidup di Indonesia, yg dari bahasa, budaya adat istiadat, kepercayaan juga sangat beragam..jauh lebih kaya dari negara manapun utk keaneka ragamannya itu.
dan masalah keyakinan itu hak smua orang..dan munculnya aliran2 baru dalam agama tidak akan berhenti kalau masih ada manusia di bumi ini ( terjadi pada smua yg kita sebut 'agama').
iya bener, kalo bukan dari diri kita buat cinta negara ini...hikss siapa lagi yaa...
jangan sampai terjadi Indonesia hanya tinggal sebuah nama di wikipedia.:(
Yoi By :)
ReplyDeleteBiasa deh orang kalo liat perubahan selalu takut dan merasa terancam. Masih banyak orang yang menjadikan agama sebagai ajang cari nafkah. Jadi banyak rebutan pengaruh begitu deh. Yang sudah established merasa terancam jatah makan nya berkurang. Yang belum banyak pengikutnya selalu usaha buat nambah pengikut. Brantem deh :)
Coba orang itu beragama gak perlu paksa-paksaan yah hihi ... damai kali.
waduhhh....
ReplyDeleteanak patriotik ini !
haha sekali-sekali Lin :)
ReplyDeletemee toooo...
ReplyDeleteI love you My Indonesia :)
Woohooo ... that is three already, we need (200 million -3) more ... but it's a step forward :D
ReplyDeleteHehehe kidding, I'm sure bar a few, people have shown their love to their country in their own unique way.
Thanks Baby, for stopping by and comment.
