you know, everyone in my Twitter timeline talks about it everyday, and they say "you are not an economic student if you don't pay more attention to our country's issues" so i'm kinda embarrassed if i don't keep my self up to date (although it's still hard for me because i am not really into those stuffs)
but i try anyway... read some online articles and news... and guess what?
i ended up being disgusted and pessimistic about this country.
first, there are so many corruption issues these days. let it from PKS, Democrat Party, etc etc. even a friend said "everyone is involved, it's just a matter of turn of who is discovered one after another." it's sad that this country, given those immoral leaders, can no longer accommodate us civilians. all they think about is how to make themselves richer day by day (by immoral ways!)
second, it is clearly shown that our politicians and senate members do not fit their positions at all. in dialogues or news articles they always give inappropriate, even stupid answers. it's sad that they are sitting in their chairs just because they have more money and power (which they got from corrupting).
third, so many injustice neglected yet our leader does nothing to fix this. for example, a corruptor is sentenced three years in jail for corrupting billions of rupiahs while an old hag is sentenced a year for stealing some cocoa from her neighbor's garden.
this nation is sick. yes, this BIG nation. our leaders keep leeching from us taxpayers. our media are not free from influence anymore, making it harder to trust them. those politicians keep outsmarting the less educated ones (who always vote for leaders with looks not brains) which results in having the same classic weak presidents from corrupt parties. those who are less fortunate practically don't stand a chance--if not miracles--to upgrade their quality of living. the education quality here is poor--yes, just because it is provided by governors for free, we who can pay for better education quality in private schools/high quality public schools (see? even those who wants to enroll to a higher quality public school have to pay more) can see clearly that those schools are of poor quality. no decent library, labs, internet facility, etc, not to mention the ridiculous curriculum that results in how our students just attend school to get good scores (which forces them to do cheating, teacher bribery, etc).
well i have to admit that i am a lucky brat to get to enroll in my current university, and thus, have myself surrounded by highly educated people. some of which are dreaming to fix this big mistakes and systems. but me? no baby... you can't blame my apathy. and as i mentioned before, i am already pessimistic about this country.
there's no narration without conclusion, right? forgive my long boring blabbing :) in short, i think what this country needs is a fresh, youth, independent, and honest leaders. the problem is, we all know that the politics world are very dirty. it's very hard to keep your idealism and honesty with corrupt environment around alluring you to join the systematic corruptions. that's why i don't fully blame our leader--that is, our president--for doing nothing in spite of this systematic mistakes. what can we expect from our current president anyway?
and yes, only God can make miracles. and for me it doesn't seem like that miracle will occur any time soon.
what do you think? :)
P.S.: i'm writing this just to pour my so called concerns which is hard to discuss because no close ones around me seemed to care more than me. and because i write this with insufficient information i am apologizing if there is any of my words which doesn't fit your thoughts, of course, if your argument are based of trusted sources. i would even be thankful if you can share some of your thoughts with me.
