The Foolishness of Audience People: Believe In Performance

Humans are not always always right, and not always wrong. Unfortunately, if you feel right or considered right, then it is difficult to admit that you are wrong and what is wrong is then justified. Those who are wrong will continue to be harassed until it seems as if they will never do the right thing, even if it is right. Like soap operas, as a proof that they are still too many primordial who think and behave as “audience people”, who just believe what they see and do not have ability think further. This is a very big opportunity for anyone who have certain political purposes to continue to make a fool of it and play destructive unhealthy political games.

The phrase “Leader is the reflection of it’s people”, is perhaps difficult to accept even though it is in the Hadith and the Koran. People tend to keep on blaming the leaders for all the problems that occur, but they are too cowardly to admit their own mistakes, that have been made to have a leader who is not in accordance with the people’s will. Supposedly, if you really believe what is written in the Hadith and the Koran, then you don’t need to be afraid to admit your mistake, so you want to improve yourself to be better in order to get a leader who is appropriate and expected. After all, there won’t be a change for the better if you don’t start with yourself. So why is it so hard to admit wrong and keep blaming others ?!

As a result, it’s all too easy to keep on fooling around, boasting “extraordinary” promises, and singing over and over again. Politics is not like soap operas that are easily predictable based on the issues that are thrown to the public. Practical political circus performers can easily “deceive with sweet boasting and brave warrior-like behavior, let alone those who really understand the real political and political strategy. What looks good is not necessarily good, what is wrong is not necessarily wrong.

As ann example, the attitude of the demonstrators who did not comply with the rules, refused to cooperate, and committed acts of violence. Demonstrations may not require permission, but notification is required. In the notification, there must be a clear name and identity as the person in charge. If something happens, which is easy, an accident or fainting on the road, who is responsible ?! Especially if the demonstration is carried out by students, they have struggling families and expect a lot from the education given to their children.

If you refuse to tell who is responsible, don’t want to give your identity, then is it wrong for the police to ban and stop the demonstration ?! Coupled with indications and suspicions that the demonstration was ridden by parties wishing to break away from the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, which of course will be denied, is it wrong to take preventive action ?! This is a matter of security and responsibility, there are limits to freedom. You can’t go around the corner, and this applies to all parties without exception. Who likes arbitrary and manipulative behavior ?!

We are at home ourselves, if a guest comes uninvited and then forces their way in, especially if we are not known, of course, we can be very angry. Expelling this person as part of protection and protecting yourself and the whole house, is not something that can be considered wrong. The self-conscious guest should know the self. A patient host, should be appreciated if still willing to offer to drive home. However, if the guest then gets “popping” even more, even damaging our belongings, what will happen ?!

It is strange if the guest then makes a report and neutralizes the video as if we have done something bad. Moreover, they are given additional spices as if they are right and we are made as if they are truly cruel and vile. It would be even stranger if then what was made was truly believed by many people who did not want to know the truth. Moreover, by people who already had “grudge and hatred” against us before, the opportunity to destroy was taken. Those who intend to be evil and destructive become heroes and winners. Isn’t it great?!

That is an example of how stupid audience people are, they simply believes in the performance to remain stupid and easily becomes the object of fooling. Continued to be used by parties who even want to destroy and destroy the country. Prostration and humility do not exist, it is proven by laziness to think and learn. Fun and comfortable with watching, believing in what is being watched, and enjoying being a spectacle (existence). Resentment is nurtured and it is difficult to be objective in thinking and behaving. How long are you going ?!

It is sad to see the country destroyed even because the people themselves are too arrogant and lazy to learn. Common sense is hyperbole even though it contains perceptions and assumptions that can outsmart and easily rationalize what is wrong to be right for all the reasons. The truth in the heart is ignored, red and white, daring to purify itself just words for the benefit of oneself and the group. The dogma of those who are revered as if never wrongly believed to be more than truth itself.
