She lives with her parents in <br>\nBintaro, also in South Jakarta:<\/p>\n<p>I think the tragedy is a warning that we are nothing compared <br>\nto nature. We have been made to realize that pride is a wasted <br>\nemotion.<\/p>\n<p>The eagerness of everyone across the country to help Aceh and <br>\nNorth Sumatra residents also shows that we still have a high <br>\nsense of solidarity as a nation. We are willing to make <br>\nsacrifices for fellow citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I before the tragedy I thought we were very selfish <br>\npeople and would ignore anything happening to anybody else.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, I think the tragedy has brought back the humane <br>\nside of, not only each of us, but all society.<\/p>\n<p>Ramin, 31, is a taxi driver. He lives with his parents in <br>\nMampang Prapatan, South Jakarta:<\/p>\n<p>Aceh is a troubled province. Many Acehnese have been killed in <br>\narmed conflict with the military in the past decade, the <br>\ncollective number could be in the thousands.<\/p>\n<p>The natural disaster killed tens thousands of them, including <br>\nsoldiers and police deployed there, in one swift moment.<\/p>\n<p>What does that tell us?<\/p>\n<p>To me, it means that peace should be regained in Aceh. The <br>\npeople should restructure the local society and stop believing <br>\nthey have been neglected by the rest of Indonesian society. That <br>\nnotion led them to want independence.<\/p>\n<p>We are one nation, when one of us is hurt, we all feel the <br>\npain.<\/p>\n<p>-- The Jakarta Post<\/p>",
