like the flowing river

be like the flowing river.
silent in the night.
be not afraid of the dark.
if there are stars in the sky,
reflect them back.
if there are clouds in the sky,
remember, clouds, like the river, are water.
so, gladly reflect them too,
in your own tranquil depths.

terrors

It was really shocking, when I got my cellphone back after living 3 days without my phone and disconnected from the outside world and found a message from my mom: J.W Marriot and Ritz Carlton were bombed. Again? After had been bombed for several times - twice in Bali and twice in Jakarta. Worse, J.W. Marriot again?! I was so...... frightened? sad? angry? feeling sorry for the victims? I felt all of it. All are mixed up. 9 people died and tens injured.

What do you want TERRORISTS?!!!

Terrorist, huh?! They make terror. They kill people - mercilessly. They said it all are in the name of GOD. For fuck's sake! GOD will NOT kill!! Wait. Yes HE does. But, no one but HIM has the right to take someone's life! Not you fucking terrorist. Nor any other humans on earth. You said if you suicide by bombing you will go into heaven? Yea. Heaven of those who are killers, heartless, so-no-human fucking people a.k.a HELL!






However, let's just see the positive side of this bombing.

First. Another lesson for us, Indonesians. Don't look down on dangers that you think you have solved and it is gone forever. Each time a bomb explodes, security is tightened. Everywhere. But, a few weeks later, when we think it is gone already, we become careless. There's no awareness in us. In result, we can see it now. Bombs again. So, let's change this mind and be aware of any danger threats us.

Second. Our nationalism increases. Yes. Nationalism always wakes up at times like this - when something bad happens to our nation: bombs, other countries look down on us, our heritage are stolen, and many more. And at this time, I can feel nationalism from so many Indonesians that I didn't feel it before. We all stand up for our country - fighting terrorists. I found this website: www.indonesiaunite.com. A website for Indonesians. Those loving Indonesians. We all fight terrorists there - cursingthem, and struggling for a better Indonesia's image on other's countries.



Well, at least there are something that we can learn to be a better nation and country. :)

By the way, I feel sorry for the victims. May GOD bless you all. :)
