Disasters and divine warnings

Disasters and divine warnings

From Koran Tempo

The natural disasters that have taken place in the country should serve as a divine warning that we as a nation need to take a close look at ourselves. Unless there is a concrete improvement in our morality, more disasters are likely to follow.

Great Javanese prophecies from a long time ago predicted that our nation would face a period of turmoil, in which those refusing to commit sins would lose their portion and starve. Nonetheless, "no matter how lucky are the ignorant, it is more fortunate to be alert".

The most acute social ill in Indonesia today is corruption. If the nation remains unaware of this problem, and people continue to commit this sin for fear of losing his or her portion, we will continue to see divine retribution in the form of natural disasters. So, we should be aware and alert.
