Don't deny your heart

Way of thinking
Modern humans tend to have an exploitative way of thinking, namely using nature and other humans for their interests. Humans who think in this way, see things as merely a tool that can be used to meet physical and emotional needs as humans. This way of thinking then gave birth to human slavery. Also, the destruction of nature for economic gain.
Nature and humans who come from different social backgrounds are considered as tools that can be used to meet their needs. This way of thinking is what ultimately creates an emptiness in human life. Humans do not respect each other, but take advantage of each other to satisfy their own needs. Even though the most important thing in life is mutual respect.
Humans should change exploitative thinking into appreciation.

Through this appreciative way of thinking, humans can feel happy. Because living quite emotionally, and forging meaningful relationships with nature and other humans.

Corruption is born from the inability of humans to distinguish between personal ownership and shared ownership. Thus, people use the shared property or even owned by others for their gain.
Humans should have an anti-corruption awareness and attitude. If not, life will not be calm because it is colored with attitudes of indifference, hatred, suspicion, anger which can lead to conflict. By cultivating an anti-corruption attitude, people can build a civilized society. Everyone will feel a happy life because they have the opportunity to develop themselves and their families. In this short life, humans should focus on developing things that are important in life.
Against Cliches
In life, many people are trapped by various common views which, although true, are wrong and meaningless. This is known as a cliché. For example, Batak people are loud, Minang people are stingy, or anything that comes from America and Europe is always better. This kind of viewpoint obscures a person from the real truth. One of the most important things in life is fighting cliches.
That is the most important thing in life as a human being. Good or bad the life that a person lives depends on the way he thinks and looks at things. It is appropriate as a human being to use reason and heart in interpreting every side of life that is lived. Life is not only about yourself but the people and nature around you.
