          There are so many countries in this world who applied democracy system as their government system. No matter what religion or ethnicity or even culture that dominating the country, it still put democracy system as theirs.
          Indonesia as one of biggest Muslim population in this world has became a pioneer for the others country to lead its state and governance with the democracy system and adjust it in peace. It is a truly utopia for some people, but here we are. Indonesia and its complicated things within can stand up for peace in the middle of dissimilarity. We have a lot of cultures, religions, ethnics, views, manners, skin colors, even languages. We lives in all of it every single day while people around the world will put it as a war, as a “big no” thing to live with. Jilbab for the Muslims, adzan 5 times a day resound throughout the country, our salaam habitual shows the striking difference, to be honest.
          People here have no option to deal with dissimilarity because our generation of every single culture or religion in Indonesia has embedded the lives of peace. We are accustomed to the culture of humility that born from Islam and the teachings bygone. It is absorbed in the daily life of the nation. We are not a secular but once again people here have no option to the dominate religion and majority of believer which is Islam. We got respect each other.
          Islam in Indonesia aside from a religion also a culture has to urge its believers respect diversity. And its manner spread to the whole kind of people in Indonesia. I was blessed born in Indonesia with no rule to make difference seat for different skin color, or ethnic, or religion. The country gains me this thought in the dissimilarity and nationalism and democracy at once. All of presidents are Muslim but not the people. See? When you put a respect on a figure like a president, you are not only respect his/her culture, ethnic or religion, but put a trust on her/him too with the whole things he/she promised. You can stay wherever and whenever you want and “headquarter”. Although the shocks always there. But it was shocked us like the wind sounds “wuuuushh…” and all is well. Everything goes well again.
          I think we need to deaf our ears and blindfold our eyes from bad thing in dirty politics around. It will keep ourselves and our souls, our mental clarity safe. A simple thing to do but magically affect people like a poetry. Hurray! We live in a town named Peace. Islam has teach good things and it has Al-quran as a hint. There are so many lessons to applied and learned because nothing in this world should be overrated, and let go things is the key.
