How Do You Deal With The Issues?

My heart is broken to see my country even the world break. Lack of empathy, less of hearing, pieces of ignorance, ironically in this democracy country, we lost the taste of itself. We are starting growing up individually, and second by second lost of our connection to each other. It breaks my heart when watch people complaining, blaming, dropping, and fighting each other, even the government. Where is sincerity? I ponder. And when we no longer recognize kindness and only strive for competition or satisfaction, where is the joy in this life? Has sisterhood traveled too far? Hmm...

In the middle of globalization issues, what is your opinion? And how do you do with that? In the news of media, I see people have their own opinion and they speak up about that. It's nice. But if you speak without hearing or caring, maybe you feel that yours the one and only truest opinion, where is the value of empathy? People is judging. Almost all the judgments designated to our government or at least to people with the highest position around the issues. Why it must be concern to the leaders? Didn't we realize that maybe we included take the responsibility for the outstanding issues? 

Breathing a bit, talking about the issue of prostitution, for example. There're some plans of government policies concerned with the issue. Then, let's move to execution. The government dared to take the action to do the execution for narcotics convicts. And how about the Asian-African Conference commemoration? Does it just the responsible of the government? Maybe mostly yes, but it didn't mean that it regardless the society responsibility, right? So how do you deal with that? What is the right option we shall do? I think there are some things which can we do. Let's role down your eyes in the next sentences:

1. Think positively - "Thinking positively changes you whole perspective on life" by Unknown. Who's agree with this statement? I am. Yeah, I suggest you to see whole the issues with positive side. Because it will help you positioning yourself as others. You'll think as if you were them. Although, all the issues have any positive and negative sides, but trust me, if you get the positive one, you will never complaining of something.
2. Positioning yourself as others position - This one is the next step after you succeed thinking positively. You should try to feel how others feel in their own position. Let's take an example, if there's an issue about Jakarta which involve the governor of Jakarta, get the positive thinking after that try to positioning yourself as a governor of Jakarta or Jakarta's people. Ah, you can try positioning yourself into one or two characters.
3. Don't Judge! - I think the quote "Don't judge a book by its cover" still prevail until this time. So, do we. Especially if we do not know for sure about the truth of the existing. Judging will make an injustice condition. It also hurt someone's heart because it didn't suitable between people's judgement and the their self indeed. Judging will aggravate the issues.
4. Talk less, do more! - The word which we must speak up, please speak! But remember, balance your word with action. The smallest of actions is so much better or braver or smarter than the biggest of intentions. This thing is not about the society, but also for the leader in all position. Leadership is all about making good things happen. About getting great things done. About the translation of beautiful ideas into brilliant results. 

Yups, overall we must see the issues in many perspective, not just in your perspective or him or her. Be careful, we have surely though positively, stopped judging, talked less, did more, but sometimes still we feel lack of all that things, still complaining with the word 'but'. This word always manages to diminish the positivity that was previously said, reminding us again and again that almost is never enough (like Ariana Grande said). Basically why we always think the government consists of obnoxious individuals when solve the issues and why they sometimes seem irritating when dealing with us might depend on our mindset about them and the issues itself.

I personally think the problem of the issues is well rooted in the mindset of each individual of human society. The chap on the highest seat in the government organization might change but the human resource stays the same. Or whatever, whoever it is, we will face on the issues. And that's not as bad as you think. The reason why I write this post is because I respect somebody who'd dedicate his or her life to serve this great country in the middle of so many outstanding issues. They deserve the perks. If they serve the country. If they serve wholeheartedly and get full supporting from the society. It should be. So, Is the world breaking because of the issues? Maybe. But we can save it, together.

"Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper."

(Yeremia 29:7)
