Complain Complain Complain... and Get Better!

Hiyaa
Long time not posting anything in this blog..

I tell you something.
I find something precious this holiday... A CONSCIOUSNESS.
Yes, I think I'm in the process of reaching self-actualization.
I consume news and stuffs though they break my heart everyday.
I have politics and social issues (sometimes environmental) for dinner.
So grateful to be born in a family who care about life...

I have this high-school teenager sister who is in her puberty age
and it helps me becoming mature :)



Here's the thing.
I recently had this conversation with a friend in twitter..
Not really a conversation, actually, she kept saying contradicting things and she turned angry in the end.
I wrote something about Mr. President and Mr. Minister of Communication & Information.

"I wonder how can a president make an music album? And how can a minister reply tweets all the time? Don't they have lots of tasks to do?"

 This friend of mine suddenly replied,

"Everyone needs refreshment. They're also human like us! Maybe that's the way they refresh their mind."

So I suggested the idea that before a president decide to spend lots of time refreshing himself, he'd better do something for people who had voted him.

"Hopefully they still have time to full-fill their promises, then. Cannot expect more"

She continued,

"Full-fill their promises doesn't mean they can't get their own rights to express their feeling. Like if  you were a president, doesn't mean u can't play with ur cute hamster, right? Even though there are so many things to do"

Okay I agree with what she said, but it's not as simple as that.
Where in the world does a president have time to make an album, working on lyrics and music at his tenure?
Our dear Mr. President have been ruling for 2 tenures, neither in his 1st nor 2nd he has full-filled any of his promises. He's too busy refreshing himself-or-what?
So I wrote this back..

"Well, I won't ask people to vote me for what I'm incapable of.. Just saying that before making album, full-filling promises first"

Then I guess she started getting angry.
She wrote about how Indonesians complain about everything.
She replied something like..

"If you are incapable, stop complaining!"

See, she miss-understood.
What I mean incapable of doing is actually about promises.
Politicians promise everything they are incapable of doing.

So I wrote back,

"If we all stop complaining, who will fix this country? Ignorance is not the answer. Remember, absolute power corrupts absolutely"

She replied,

"When u complain something, it will be wiser if u put some solutions! Don't be NATO!"

So I wrote something short and brief to end the conversation.
It met a dead-end and I had no reason to continue.

"My solution for the president is only one. People trust, people pay.. Serve well. And for the talk, open mind. Enough :)"

It didn't stop actually, she wrote a quote that she didn't mention to me, but I read it in the timeline.

"Don't ask what you country has done to you, but ask what you've done to your country" 

Well, no doubt.. I agree with that quote.
But don't you see, I don't hate the country.. It's not the country's fault.
It's the people in the government who disappoint me.

Indonesia is a big country with a huge number of population, most of them do not have the life they deserve to have and live in poverty.
We are now led by some heartless-brainless-people who robs people money.
Our president has this obsession of being famous and be worshipped.
No one really care about the life of the people, they struggle for themselves.
They are dying looking for things to eat everyday. Education is way too expensive, they can't afford.

So,
Is it wrong if we ask the government about what they have done to people who had voted for them??
People who trust them, who pay taxes... WHO PAY THEM.

No!
We must not stop complaining and just do nothing about it!
Complain with reasons... It's better than keep quiet.
Here is the thing my friends, it's really heart-breaking watching US, the new generation, careless about other things except our life.


May be you will see that we make no difference.
But I'm sure if we spread this consciousness, we are able to contribute.
:)
Don't Stop Complaining!
