Pull and push, in other words, TOLERANCE

Tug of War, an old-traditioned game that is still be played until now, a game which is usually participated by two teams that have quite the same strength. The winner will be chosen when one team is capable to pull the rope until a certain point. Physically, that's the way people play the game.

Is that the only thing to be written about that? Nope, that's only tug of war, literally.

But, deep inside, tug of war is not just about pull and push. Its more than that.

TOLERANCY. The keyword that I am going to use tonight.

Two parties quarreling with each other. Just for clarification, the party that I mention is not related to any political party, but the party I mean is known in Malay as 'pihak'. Also can be used for individuals, organisation, and others.

So, how can I relate Tolerance with tug of war? As I stated earlier, tug of war is not only a matter of creating two teams with both having infinite strength to win the competition. The value tolerancy can be seen when a party voluntarily be tolerant to the other team by letting the rope slowly thus giving the other team victory for the competition. 

The same thing should we applicate in our life. Be tolerant with each other. One will not always right and one will not always be wrong. There might be some of the time that the people that we think they are wrong, but they are actually right.

In term of friends, try to be tolerant with your friends. Try to accept your friends' weakness instead of isolating your innocent friends. We should remember that we also have weakness.  They may not know their weaknesses and we should approach them with diplomacy.

Just remember one thing. "kawan-kawan lah orang yang akan selalu ada ngn kita, infact, sekiranya kita ditakdirkan kita mati pada usia muda, mereka lah yang akan memandikan, mengkafankan, dan menyembahyangkan kita, bukannya girlfriend yang kita banggakan."

Race Sentiment, State Sentiment, Sensitive.

Race Sentiment, State Sentiment, Religion?

Look simple. Yes, perhaps. For certain people, yes. They may look simple. These type of people normally don't really care about these three. All that they know are making assumptions based on people views, media, newspaper and etc. People misjudged other people by stereotyping and make easy assumption based on their short-reflected mind.

This is what I called stereotyping :

 

Sincerely, I am not denying this moron who accused that some Kelantanese are being hated by others. But, one question you must ask yourself, do all Kelantanese are the same? Why don't you try to speak properly.

Back to the topic, why is always Kelantanese accused for being bad? Is it the citizens from other states is perfect enough to make such assumption? Is it fair enough to the Kelantanese for us to say so? Why not use other state for BAD example? Why must Kelantan? 

I am not talking this randomly. Dramas, movies, newspapers, most of them show the act of generalization and stereotyping toward Kelantanese. Still remember this movie? 

 

And still, there are a lot of them, which I failed to get the screen capture. Try to look at this google search, compare and contrast :-

See? Do you know how can Google display such results? Blogger should know this. It is all about traffic. A lot of people say bad things about Kelantan, and we can see it up there.

And about the sentiment, if we learn history, we will know that British, Japan, Portuguese who oppressed us never touch this sentiment. Why? because it is sensitive. Using this issue is like creating sparks that can create a big fire. 

If we see this issue in a nationwide term, we can see, because of some people who are really noisy and pretend that they are the hero of the race cause some privileges that we get for quite a long time being reduced, day by day. Quota for Bumis are reduced day by day, and non-Bumis are struggling day by day to make the quota equal. So, in the first place, why does this happen? It happens because the act of the Bumis themselves. They are too busy claiming their 'rights' and had cause the non-Bumis to claim theirs too. 

So guys, remember, there are some parts that we should avoid. Try to think about other people's sensitivity, so that others will think about your sensitivity too.

Thanks.
