Thank God It's Me!

- - - - - 

When we fall down and feel like there's no exit way, we are underestimating ourselves.

When we cry and feel like no one beside us, we forget that God always beside us.

When we are too busy not satisfied with our life, we just need to take a look outside for a while.

Thank God It's Me is my translation on how we should be grateful on life we have.

Who we are?
A college graduate? A student? A worker in a company? A job-seeker? An activist? Or even politician.
Whatever it is, in fact, we do not have to face a tragedy like what happen in Palestine or Iraq.
We do not have to face the war everyday. I wrote, everyday. We are not in a starve-state condition like what the refugees experience.
We even have chance to go to the university.
We are lucky enough.

There's a world outside of my front door, said Fall Out Boy. And that's why I write this.

Now take a look at the upper world.
People who live there--first-world countries in this case--can do such a mesmerizing invention. In technology, science, humanitarian action, or else. Because they do work hard to invent, at least in my opinion. Struggle for more and more.
There is no perfection for everything, but there is indeed a better way for everything.


A self-centered mind will create a mind that's in prison. Been there before.
A status quo, stagnancy. Take us nowhere.


So two things, care for more and struggle for more.
And Thank God It's Me!

Warm hug from Indonesia.

Note:
This writing inspired by several photographs of Dean Shu about Ethiopia.
I knew him from an interview several months ago for an event in his university which unfortunately I can not attend, later.
