Listen to our conscience
Listen to our conscience
From Rakyat Merdeka
For years now Indonesia has suffered deep grief and a most
unfortunate fate. Its image is unceasingly tarnished by various
conflicts, such as those occurring in Ambon and Poso.
To make any progress, the country requires people with wisdom
and the willingness to forgive others. An honest self-
introspection will lead us to realize the positive potential we
still have.
We should be able to terminate the strategy of those who
mastermind the conflicts. It is the government's duty to uphold
the law by capturing provocateurs who take advantage of the
situation for their own benefit.
Everyone involved in past and current conflicts should then be
able to sit down and discuss them, while contemplating the
mistakes committed by each side.
It would not be too difficult to achieve peace, as long as we
are willing to bury all vengeful emotions and replace them with
common sense and, most importantly, listen to our conscience.
