I just realized that you, we and I had a multiple identity. I also always judge people from one side only not from several sides. I also have to realize that people definitely have their good things and bad things of each. The same thing happened to me.
How can I tolerate others? Of course I want to live peacefully among others. The most fundamental question is why I am easy to hate when other people do not have thought just like me. Differences that occur in friendships, sometimes I put distance between my friend and I. I simply believe bad thing issues about other ethnics. Of course, the general imaging of other ethnics is from the negative side. For example, I always thought that Javanese was ambitious or have assumption that Bataknese was grumpy. However, it all is the assumption when I was still early. I realized that I should see the other side so that all would seem logical.
I tried to interpret and to probe why the Javanese was ambitious. Apparently it is because they are always consistent with what they want so they are always trying more to get it. Then, why I can assume that the Bataknese were grumpy because of the way they spoke was indeed using a high tone in speaking normal though. Looks like I should immediately apologize to both of them for my mistaken.
It is not there, either was no definite and fix about kindness. I am a multiple identity, I am not only a woman but also Sundanese and Muslims. In terms of my girls of course I would be more inclined to use my feelings rather than the use of logic as well as men. Who said anything like that, environment was making me think like that. My identity as a Sundanese makes me more comfortable being among the Sundanese as well because we are one language. As a Muslim of course I will easily protest when someone is lying because in my view as a Muslim to be lie is a sin.
If tolerance is the ocean how deep and widespread is must be. If tolerance is sugar how much sweet should be an ideal tolerance that can be interpreted and implemented correctly.
I am an educator in the future. By realizing that tolerance is a must of course be easier for me in my teaching days later. I imagine that my future students diverse student so I need an advanced wise as wise as my lecturer face my friends and I.
