Rethink..

Talking about e-goverment in e-commerce class and watching news & talkshow about recent Situ Gintung tragedy gave me some insight about Indonesian governance.

Knowing that one of the reasons why we're so difficult to grow is because the lack of potential, willing, and honest human resource had put thoughts inside my head.

I, myself, was the example of young citizen who would rather leave the conversation when it leads to goverment topic, then to politics, yada, yada.. It's just not interesting to me.

I believed that the idea of saving the nation was useless, there's no hope for this country, with it's dishonest & stupid authority and the dirty-money politics and stuff..

I'm the kind of person who laughed sarcastically when heard some authorities, or politicians gave their word to the press.
"yea, right.."
"even my hamster could tell that you're lying.."



I believe i have some potential & integrity, but I'd never want to work in the goverment's office.
Why?
Because i gave up my hope,
because i think it's broken and it couldn't be fixed.

.

then i thought about it,
somebody has to take care of this country,
someone has to govern this nation somehow..

If all the smart young people think like i did, not willing to work for the country,
then all that's left is the not-so-smart guys who eventually run the goverment just because no one else wants to do it.
Forced not-so-smart people running the country?
It's a formula to disaster.

And i think that's what have been happening here in Indonesia.
Smart students will successfuly work for private international company,
while leaving the not-so-smart one to work in goverment's office.

Ha.

What do you think?
Can we change this?

I think we can,
if we want to..

All of these made me rethinking about my previous thought.

Can i do something to make this country better?

Hmm..
I think i need to refresh my perspective...
