00:00Hello, friends. Today we will discuss something that may sound old-fashioned,
00:05but it is very relevant in this digital era.
00:08Have you ever heard of the Javanese philosophy, Aja Adigang, Adigung, Adiguna?
00:14This philosophy teaches us not to feel the strongest,
00:18the most powerful, or the most intelligent.
00:21It sounds simple, right, but let's look around us now.
00:25On social media, many people compete to show who is the greatest,
00:30the most powerful, the most viral.
00:33Interestingly, in developed countries such as Japan, South Korea, or the UK,
00:38their leaders highly uphold this value.
00:42When a leader makes a fatal mistake, they choose to step down.
00:47Not out of shame, but out of respect for the people and their institutions.
00:51But let's compare it with Indonesia.
00:55We often see when a public figure or official makes a mistake,
01:00what happens instead is justification or diversion of the issue.
01:04How come?
01:06There are several factors.
01:08A political culture that is still full of patronage,
01:11excessive ewuh pakewuh culture,
01:14and a legal system that is sometimes inconsistent.
01:17The impact is that society becomes apathetic,
01:20public trust is declining,
01:23what is more worrying is that the younger generation could get the wrong message,
01:27that position is more important than integrity.
01:31In fact, Javanese philosophy also teaches
01:33surah diraja ningrat,
01:35melting dening pangastuti.
01:38This means, no matter how strong the power and arrogance
01:41will be melted by wisdom and nobility.
01:45So, how does the future of Indonesia all come back to us?
01:50If we can apply these values in our daily lives,
01:54starting from yourself,
01:56maybe slowly but surely,
01:58we can build a more dignified Indonesia.
