Humanity is Complex, but We Can Understand It Little by Little
When many people push others to accept what they believe, at
that time, they won’t learn from it; they are conditioned to be like what they
believe to be true. What they get is what they listen and accept, not from something
they experienced. This is the fatal concept to learn other people in every
perspective they have.
Learning others is unique and complex process to get the full
understanding among certain people in our surroundings. They have to interact
directly, communicate spontaneously, share unlimitedly, and feel with them
honestly. The powerful understanding will be done through these ways, so they
could say more about people they meet every day.
They will find the way on how minimize obstacles among them. They
will get the best way on how to respect others as the key for the final decision.
They will get the essential approach of marvelous interaction toward people
with their differences in belief, religion, point of view, neighborhood, and
goal of life in a very good way. They need to interact and communicate as often
as possible to understand the gap toward two or more different beliefs.
True Love of Islam
No religion urges its followers to adopt
mutual love, affection and intimacy like the religion of Islam. This should be
the case at all times, not just on specific days. Islam encourages showing
affection and love towards each other all the time. Love in Islam is
all-encompassing, comprehensive and sublime, rather than being restricted to
one form only. There is love of the religion of Islam, upholding it and making
it victorious and the love of martyrdom for the sake of Allah The Almighty as
well as other forms of love.
Sanggar Anak Matahari is the greatest example
of the true love of Islam toward street children, orphan children, and unprivileged children. Sanggar Anak Matahari is a place behind Bekasi Rail Station in West Java, Indonesia, which accommodates those who have limitation of education. The
sense of love created in every single activity, communication, interaction, and
their way of sharing one another without looking by one eye. Their happy faces
carved in our heart.
They study together, share together, learn how
to love the creatures of God, and thank to the blessing from God with the
principle of Islam. The value of love is coming as they realize to help each
other in a very limited strength. The help is never stopped; it is continuing
until the end of the day. They always stand to raise others up in the darkness
of silence to the delirious of betterment.

Understanding in Differences
We may have the different perspective about particular people,
clubs, or even religions. We easily prejudice others as we know it deeply but
we keep the wrong pattern of point of view toward it. That misbehavior could
create conflict and gap among us. Furthermore, the trifling rumors outside are conveying
irresponsible fact in life.
We like assuming and prejudicing like the concept of stereotype.
We conclude certain people like what we heard from other people. We treat
people like what we know about their behaviors from other people. We talk about
them like what we listen from other people. We almost do these in our lives.
What you have done is not true at all. The understanding of
certain people needs observation, communication, approach, interaction, and
experience with them. We cannot get findings just by listening from others,
copying from others, and repeating from others. We are near to the failure if
we deny those things.
It is the same way to know about certain people with
different backgrounds, pattern of education, environments, and religions. We need
to be there to share, communicate, respect, feel, and contribute with them. We have
to do those things to surely say and tell others that differences are not the
obstacle to embody the mutual understanding between you and those you think
about.

The Power of One
Everybody
will feel the same thing, called strange, when one of us come to the new place
of community or society. Some people may choose to keep away from that place
because there are so many differences in it. They feel the different sense of
belonging in the particular community or society. They are different, unique,
and exist. The only question is why those differences should be diminished.
We are naturally different in born in this world. We cannot deny that fact in our life. However, there are many people neglecting this issue so that they miss the value of life. Life is for everyone. Life is in the rights. Life is valuable; know and recognize the same creatures of god. Life is in the name of respect to all people from the various statuses, religions, races, and communities.

As the
highest value in our life, tolerance and valuable manner come together in each
side of our neighborhood. My community puts those issues on how we respect
others and hold the commitment to the positive goals. The commitment of being
one as the power of belonging rendered into the applicable ways to accommodate togetherness
on the variety of statuses and religions among people in that community. In the
end, we together need one another as the emblem of comfort.

Sweety, the Country of Joyful
Three boys and five girls were telling us about the amazing
country that they called “Sweety”.
Since they were inspired from the famous film of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”,
the country they dreamed was about the same like that film. They emphasized
that everybody could eat everything in that country because all things were
made from chocolate, sugar, and cakes. They wanted to show us that this country
was great for everyone who lived there because there were no people who
suffered from malnutrition. People wouldn’t be fat because all nutrition were
measured in detail of calories and fat in it. People don’t have to worry about
the food. They want to show us that everybody can eat the same food together
without worrying about the price or disability to consume it. Everybody has the
same right to eat it for their satisfaction in their lives.
