TRANSLATION, THE BRIDGE OF UNDERSTANDING

World is now in the crisis of love, and the crisis is the lack of understanding. The example of dreadful battle between Hamas and Israel, the Iraqi destruction of war, the African hunger and poverty show lack of love. It starts from egotism and misunderstanding. Without any effort of understanding other people and the way other people think and act, one cannot understand oneself either. It is because one exist among the appreciation of others, the appreciation of others appear when there is no prejudice among them. The relationship between one and the other create a process of translation of other people's want and need. Therefore, the solution of love is when other people try to understand and appreciate other people need and want. We have to see something not only on our own point of view but also on the other's. Here, learning of others, understanding of other philosophy becomes crucial in our own daily life. In my position as Indonesian, I would like to present several philosophy of the tribes exist in Indonesia. While philosophy is a cristalization of the community experiences for a long time, we can learn deeply and love deeply to other people about how to get in touch with them for a long time. We can learn their way of thinking as presented in their language and ideas.
