Pluralism is not a Nightmare

However we cannot avoid our reality to live together on this earth with different nations, races, languages, religions, faiths, and so on. Let us accept that reality as a mercy, and it is true. We all need to open our mind and heart, try to be wise to see what becomes the most important in our lives. Once we can realize that human beings are created in different forms and colors, that means our thought is growing up.

Your faith is yours, and their faith is theirs. So, nothing to lose to keep it each other and learn how to respect one another. Pluralism is not a nightmare, it is reality which we live inside it. Pluralism teaches and reminds us that we are brothers with a lot of backgrounds. Thousand years ago, Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam  has told us about a frame of society who lived together in various colors, those colors can unite society by respect and help, they develop their society and changer their lives better. They please to understand what is different outside of themselves.

God wants us to know other people from different nations, races, languages, religions, and faiths, in order we can educate ourselves and our young generation to have a big heart and mind, so we can figure out life lesson much more. Life lesson is hard to find if we don’t want to let our curiousity lead us to the truth of reality. Some of us might be jailed of our own preassumption toward reality of pluralism that we don’t even prove it ourselves, because we have close our mind to access knowledge, facts,  or information.

I, my self will be pleasure to spread this wonderful reality to others. Many things we can do to make a change; first of all, we have to start it from ourselves, family, neighbors friends, collegues, community, etc. We enlighten them with our personal experiences which have impact toward pluralism values, and we reach a lot of benefits that we can share to others.

I have attended to some agenda which held interfaith dialogue, and I have learned from those people who really know and actualize the concept of tolerance into their lives, the ones who come to that agenda are an intellect ‘ulama,pastors,activists, and others. The main point is; they use their rational to think what is needed to live life in beauty, peace, and harmony. They avoid to have negative thinking, and make the circumstances be useful, then  influence people’s mind to do the same.

Our social society has a chance to change, but furthermore our society also has to get ready to direct their world view of pluralism, such a simple example: do good to others from different faith is a must, no hate which indicated to conflict or disruption. Social development can be increased only if all people have same intention to upgrade their knowledge. 

Our society in a dangerous matter, the issues of moral become the worst phenomenon that decreased from time to time. The responsibility is belong to us as a generation who aware of this situation, every change needs process, either it takes short or long time, but for us this is not a big problem, if we stand together to share our bright ideas that can reduce negative actions. So, the future is in our hands, let us reach it together hand by hand. I would like to remind that all of us are connected one another.
