Hedonism and Indonesia

As my perspective, Hedonism can be described as life style of people who think that the happiness just can be gotten from money and expensive things owned. As long as it is not bad concept but it is not wise if we do when many of our neighbour is hungry. Is it good for our heart if we see other peoples sad because cannt buy their food but we usually throw our food because we don’t like it? I believe that your deepen heart will disagree with that!!!.

However, what I see in my country that’s answer doesn’t become the reality. We can see that many rich people buy many expensive thing and don’t care with other people. Of course, that’s is their rights for buy something they want. But have they thought that what is if their money used for buy those expensive thing was used for other people sho very need it???

I will give one example. We can watch now that many our celebrities especially women bought their hand-bag such as ‘HERMES’ which are very expensive for majority people. I cannt say who is that, but I think you can easily browsing by internet or watching in television because it is the hot gossip now.

In other phenomenon, rich people likes to buy luxurious car by their money. Its is true that it is their right because they buy theyselves. However, the bad side of this case is that they always use the premium which is subsidized and sold just for poor people in this country. Although there is still no law for this informal rule but in my perspective, that’s not good at all especially for that people. Some pictures below show that the ‘ALPHARD’, very-very expensive car,  drink premium.I can say that the owner of this car is heartless!!!.

 Alphard is 'drinking' premium......how a heartlesssss..

Two sample of the hedonism phenomenon in our country above give little illustration that hedonism is living peacefully in Indonesia. This condition can make the gap within the rich and poor people became bigger and bigger and that condition is not good for our socio-cultural people development.

As my religion, Islam, we have been teached to be simple in life style. We havent to showw of our finance condition especially if we are rich people. That will minimize the gap of finnace condition among people. Also, as moslem, we have been told to give what we have to other people as many as we can. That is my religion rule and I love it.

What if all of people in this country, Indonesia, don’t show off their finance condition to minimize the gap and among people help each to others? Is it peacefully, isnt it? I don’t hate the people. I just give my argumentation....…I love peace
