| My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others. That is nice but not as important or satisfying.

MERDEKA DARI TANGGUNG JAWAB?? Di perayaan'kemerdekaan' yang ke-60 kalinya ini, apapun itu...rayakanlah, gelar pesta rakyat 7 hari 7 malam, tiuplah lilin, bergembiralah, bersuka-rialah meski hanya sesaat...dan selagi BISA...rakyat di republik ini punya hak untuk bergembira dan sejenak melupakan penat, sesak & keterpurukan hidup di republik yang dengan susah payah & 60 tahun bahkan ratusan taun LALU penuh tetes darah-air mata (sekedar) untuk memperjuangan-kan kata MERDEKA-(dari apakah??)
merdeka seperti inikah?? konon katanya, lepas dari penjajahan bukanlah akhir dari cita-cita kemerdekaan, melainkan sekedar medium dan gerbang untuk mencapai kemerdekaan yang sesungguhnya, yakni kemerdekaan hati, pikiran, dan jiwa tiap orang (Yumarma, Andreas :2005)...
nyatanya, kemerdekaan yg seperti itu kita sudah pernah merasakan dan amat disayangkan (lagi2) layaknya sebuah bangsa yang degil, kemerdekaan itu-pun kita artikan sebagai KELIARAN, merdeka tanpa tanggung jawab untuk mengisi arti merdeka itu sendiri...
tidak heran jika kemudian, orang2 yang kita daulat untuk menjadi 'pemerintah'; kita pilih untuk mewakili suara kita sebagai 'anggota dewan yang terhormat'; dan kita percaya untuk memutus perkara sebenar2nya dan seadilnya; INKAR semua... mereka lari dari tanggung jawab atas misi & amanah dari jabatan yang mereka pegang, ING NGARSO SUNG TULODHO...
apa yang dilakukan elit dianggap sebagai pembenar...akibatnya adalah...kita lihat korupsi yang terlanjur sistemik dan mendarah daging-korupsi berjamaah, fenomena pemiskinan yang luar biasa dan komprehensif di segala bidang, kedaulatan yang mulai terkoyak, intervensi asing yang terlalu jauh, ketergantungan terhadap lembaga donor, dan blablabla... keterpurukan lainnya...
YA, MENANGISLAH..para PEJUANG veteran..TERNYATA INDONESIA TAK (pernah) LEBIH BAIK DARI NASIBMU..!! Kalau perlu, bangkitlah dari 'lubang sempit' mu..hantui-TAGIH generasimu akan cita-cita besarmu dulu !!!!
tapi BAGAIMANAPUN...kita tetap harus hidup dan berjalan dengan kepala tegak, kita tunggu dan nantikan INDONESIA yang lebih BAIK, merdeka !!
