Saying someone else stupid won't make you smarter

Everybody's busy talking and looking for updates about BERSIH nowadays. Facebook, especially, presents us with people's thoughts about the event. It's true, everybody has the right to say anything. Well, everybody has mind, right? So they can say whatever they can think of. Be it absolutely ridiculous, or strangely irrational, people will still say what they have in mind. Sure, it's the 'express yourselves' era.

Whatever your thoughts might be, you should always watch your mouth and mind your words. You are against BERSIH? Fine, nobody said you are sinful for going against it. So why bother saying bad words, behaving improperly and cursing? You were actually innocent in the first place. Going against BERSIH is not a crime. But then out of a sudden, you sprayed all bad words, saying all bad things about BERSIH and people who supported it. Automatically, you became one sinful person. Ironic, huh? You were actually a nation hero with strong principle. But then you showed off your weakness. You cursed your own people. You cursed your own Muslim brothers and sisters. You cursed people who wanted justice. Oh hey, wait a minute. Is wanting justice a crime? Okay, leave the question that way. One person told me, think DEEP.

First of all, there are so many things need to be explained. To whom? To people who know little and to those who think they know all. First, justice, is not a crime. It is what Islam taught us to practice. Second, politics is not a crime. It is a part of Islam. You must have heard that Islam is syumul (menyeluruh), right? Be it economy, education, lifestyle, ibadah, politics and so on, it is all about Islam. There's no way we can separate any of them from Islam. Therefore, never say politics are bad. It's as if you're trying to say what Islam brought is bad. No. Actually, it's humans that made it look bad. You must have heard that 'kerosakan di dunia adalah disebabkan tangan-tangan manusia', right? So think DEEP about that. Politics itself is not a crime. Only when dirty hands are managing it, it became dirty. I think it's clear. So, wanting a fair election definitely is not a crime.

Therefore, ladies and gentlemen (eh? tetibe), when you are against something, be mature and come out with rational points, using proper words to explain your thoughts. There's no way people will listen to you if you go on cursing this and that. People say, "Listen to what is said, not to who said it,". True. But when the words are dirty, will you even bother to listen? No way.

You always have the chance to explain yourself. To be heard, to be understood. But please...please...please...do it properly or you'll lose all the opportunity. Not just that, you'll turn everybody against you. Pathetic, right?

No matter what issue it is, deal with it using rational ideas and words. You are trying to educate the future generation. So educate them properly.

Here's something for all my blog readers. I'm not trying to influence you with any kind of thoughts. I just know that all of us have the right to know the truth and rationalize. It is time to stop living in the comfort zone and face the reality.

p/s: If you say that I am one-sided, you are terribly wrong, mister. Remember how I've lived at least 18 years surrounded by people who are blindly government-sided and never bother to listen to others. And yes, because of that kind of surrounding, I opened my eyes, my mind, my heart. I listen, I think, I rationalize. It is time for you to do so.
