One Tradition, One Family, and One Problem

For Muslims around Asia, it’s not rare to see people a week or two before Eid-al-Fitr to homecoming. Families come together to meet, chat, etc… But, what is that tradition? It’s mudik or homecoming. Lots of people do this. If they don’t have the money to pay for the rental/tickets, then I supposed you can call them through the phone or send a letter. But, the problem is, when you can do it with a phone or letter, then why people visit their families and rental cars they can’t afford? That’s the problem. Getting rid of irrational humans. Imagine, if all humans are rational or logical, then no need to fight or whatever.

First of all, Indonesians literally are a much more smarter and also a little bit dumber than Americans. Even 2 years old is used to smoke tobacco. Also, no one had a dream for their future! Dude, especially the high-school students . If they’re now focusing on smoking, hang out, brawling, and gaming, then how will their future will be? Well, probably some of u do that in the past and now, probably you don’t anymore.

Second, happiness is simplicity. The Indonesians way to welcome Ramadan by adding wild syrup ads, lighting up fireworks, and shopping through at the mall. Really, there’s no need for all of those. You can simply set up a goal like, tomorrow (after Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr) is better than today, and today’s better than yesterday. Sometimes, we humans forget this. I’m sad though, even though we were given a month to start a new you, my friends is stuck with their old self.

Third. We are too… what? Indonesians are more complex with emotions rather than technologies. We would rather to use this kind of activity that we know rather than using an unfamiliar activity. So yeah, that’s why Indonesians is so technologically backwards.

Writer. I appreciate your effort to read this. Please add ideas for my new writings. I’m stuck. Bye! I’m sorry I don’t fiction anymore. I hope you understand why.
