This is Bali. When you are hurt by others, you do not have to repay them
Bali. This is the island that became one of my destinations for a vacation. Just two hours flight from Jakarta - equivalent to crawling in congestion from downtown Jakarta to Kemang, and I arrived at this "paradise" of the world.
What makes me miss from Bali is of course beautiful nature. Also its rich and distinct culture. Try listening to the Balinese gamelan, and the balinese flowers in Bali, so different from the atmosphere in Jakarta, isn't it?
Well, that's the beauty of diversity dah positive difference. Why else would I go to Bali if the nuances are like nature in Menteng? Why would I hang out at a cafe in Jakarta if the atmosphere is like a cafe in Jakarta? Diversity and distinction must not be eliminated.
Another thing that makes me miss from Bali, of course the people. They are generally friendly, hearing them speak like they hear them sing.
What is remarkable is that they do not hold grudges and allow the laws of nature to speak. Several times when talking about the Bali bombings, they are more emphasis on efforts to rise. "After the bomb, we do not revenge or perform sweeping. The important thing for us is to get on with life and get back up."
I think they are beautiful. Had the Balinese revenge at that time, how could Bali be as peaceful as this now? Perhaps, I can no longer vacation in Bali when they decide to "close" themselves. Violence is not then violated. Being hurt is not rewarded with harm. Happy weekend, all. Namaste / ESL

7 年Bali is incredible. My first time visiting Bali was 1996. The Balinese embrace divirsity. The embrace all who do not harm them.
