PLURALITY


















Seeing various colors on the above picture I took few hours ago, it is beautiful, isn't it? Reminded me of a reality show that I watched few weeks ago on a national Indonesian TV.

I was really impressed, the guest invited on that session was the Sultan of Jogja or he is known as Hamengku Buwono X. When was asked by the host (Andy F. Noya - one of my favorite journalist!), his opinion of the plurality, he described very clearly, plurality (in Indonesian society) actually should not be a problem, as long as the majority can play their part as the protector against the minority not being a dictator to cornered the minority.

What a wonderful and wise way of thinking. For me, plurality is a destiny, we are just a human being who can not choose our own skin color when we were born. So......, why should we complaint or arising issues on plurality, we should just see the beauty of plurality, like the colors on my picture.

Remember Ebony & Ivory by Paul Mc Cartney? Remember We are the World by Michael Jackson?

EBONY & IVORY
Ebony And Ivory live together in perfect harmony

Side by side on my piano keyboard oh lord why dont we?

We all know that people are the same where ever you go
there is good and bad in everyone
we learn to live we learn to give each other what we need to survive together alive

Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect harmony
side by side on my piano keyboard oh lord why don't we?

Ebony,Ivory living in perfect harmony
Ebony,Ivory oh..

We all know that people are the same where ever you go
there is good and bad in everyone
we learn to live when we learn to give each other what we need to survive
together alive

Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect harmony
side by side on my piano keyboard oh lord why don't we?
side by side on my piano keyboard oh lord why don't we?

WE ARE THE WORLD
There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need

[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change will only come
When we stand together as one

[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
