    Reading Bell Hook, Reading Indonesia





















    Once I knew a young guy 
    who learned philosophy and education 
    who read education, anthropology, and sociology 
    and who also read a Bell Hook's book about critical thinking 
    Now the young guy starts to think about his country: Indonesia. 

    Indonesia is a rich country with natural resources 
    Indonesia is the biggest island country in the world 
    Indonesia is a piece of heaven that fell from the sky. 

    But this is just an image…. 
    It is only a cover hiding the true reality. 

    People never know the truth 
    People never know that conflict is part of reality 
    In Indonesia, people can kill each other 
    because of the differences in religion, race, and caste. 
    Where is the young guy who thinks about Indonesia? 

    He now reads Bell Hook’s books 
    He imagines about black people 
    He can feel the dark side of society. 

    He sees a candle in the darkness 
    He only looks at himself in a mirror. 

    Like Bell Hook, he starts to believe 
    Education is a kind of liberation 
    helping society to find their way to freedom 
    Education is the pedagogy of hope 
    Which leads people to more wisdom. 

    He thinks about action 
    He believes about the importance of love and spirituality 
    He believes about sharing experiences and learning from the past 
    He knows that everything is not simple. 

    He will try to be a falling star  
    always give the light, 
    but disappears into the middle of the universe
