History of Nusantara is about glory, there are Mulawarman, Gadjah Mada, Syailendra, Raden Wijaya etc. Today, Nusantara is called Indonesia seems like live in misery. Glory change to drakness. From a sailor become farmer. Â From the lord become a slave. From the one who have a wealth, now just beg for an obligation from abord.
And, are we as young generation will not do anything after seeing it? As the young generation we can’t die young. We have to become inspiration and hero for the next generation after us. They have to inherited wealth and prosperity for their child. Really it is a noble work, neither the work for a coward nor robber.
In Indonesia there are plenty of natural resources. Among them there are raw materials such as gold, diamond, uranium, steel etc. Mountains, valleys, desserts, lakes even seas we have them too. Our Gographic condition is so strategic as transite area of world markets, so that we have to be aware of it for cultivate our prosperity.
But, today our economical gap is the biggest in history, yes, we have gini ratio 0,42. The problem is that our mentality as an inlandeer is still exist from generation to generation. For us to try having a super train is clashed with the opinion that our land is so fragile or that we are in the ring of fire region. We fail for dreaming of having many big n cool’s port because of the people that said that  this country potential to have tsunami because we stand in continent plate of world. We lost to dream have a high building because one more we have many opinions what said better than use our money to citizens. The big question is after we lost our dreams, are the citizens used to walfare? Come on we have to thinking with objective.
Surely, the goverenment have the responsibility to fullfill the vision of their society. And the society have the right to get the best facility, subsidize, and service. But, is it all have been done ? the answer is no. Â
The reason is that we are too afraid of  having a dream. Imagine that it is so terifying for us for even having a dream, how about making it true. Whereas, Indonesia is built from the imagination of a nation. Our nation was built in dream of independency and then it happen. From  the different kingdom, with their own sovereignty. Because of that imagination, our young generation can achive that.
Indonesia is truely an independent country, but the substantive of it still have not been achived. It clear that in the perspective of the society, there are a family that own 5 or more car, but there also another family that still strugle only to eat. There are a region where the house can be very luxurious but also there are a region where the house is not even appropriate to be lived in. Is this the nation that our founding father dreamt of? or the nation that Soekarno said, a nation that was built for the wellfare of it’s society. But how about the village that is not touched by electricity, or the children who died caused the lack of nutrition.
In reality, the resources should be own only by the state. By nationalizing the company which take a big role in the development of the country. The governement should be able to make the regulation that based on Pancasila and constitusion.
