Representing Our Choice of Religion

27 February 2017No Comment

In recent months, in Indonesia’s context, one’s choice of religion seems to receive more attention than usual.

‘Gee! Your doctor wasn’t nice, was he? Was he a Christian?’

‘My doctor spoke to us with zero empathy! I was disappointed to know that he was a Muslim.’

‘I hope you’ll find a good Muslim specialist.’

Sadly, more tension and negativity towards different religions is present lately, … tension rather than harmony and tolerance.

Many write comments about others in such hurtful manners.

Personal opinions about someone (who holds a different view or belief) are written in a highly provocative and hateful way, online.

Since we cannot change others, … let us consider representing our choice of religion and faith positivelyI know it happens in other parts of the world.

I guess, I just didn’t wish for it to happen right here in Indonesia – a country which acknowledges six religions and promotes religious tolerance and ‘unity in diversity’ motto.

Anyway.

Since we cannot change others, … let us consider representing our choice of religion and faith positively, especially at times like now.

Because our choice of words and actions, in social media or in real life, represents our religion and faith. Whether we like it or not.

Food for thought.
