Soe Hok Gie, A Young Indonesian Intellectual

Soe Hok Gie (lahir di Djakarta, 17 Desember 1942 – meninggal di Gunung Semeru, 16 Desember 1969 pada umur 26 tahun) adalah salah seorang aktivis Indonesia dan mahasiswa Fakultas Sastra Universitas Indonesia Jurusan Sejarah tahun 1962–1969.


Ia patut dikenang karena andil dan keterlibatannya dalam mensukseskan perjuangan mahasiswa menghancurkan otoritarianisme kekuasaan orde lama. Ia patut mendapatkan tempat terhormat karena totalitas perjuangan dan sikapnya yang mengagumkan dalam menegakan kebenatan, keadilan dan kemanusiaan. pemikirannya visioner dan memiliki komitmen yang kokoh atas landasan prinsip-prinsip demokrasi dan humanisme. Tulisan-tulisan di diary nya yang mencangkup kalimat-kalimat sajak dan puitis serta pandangan hidup dan kisah perjalanan hidupnya ditemukan dan diterbitkan dengan judul, "Catatan Seorang Demonstran", yang akhirnya dijadikan film pada tahun 2005 oleh Riri Riza dengan judul "Gie".


ini beberapa kata-kata Soe Hok Gie yang gue suka :


“Saya ingin melihat mahasiswa-mahasiswa, jika sekiranya ia mengambil keputusan yang mempunyai arti politis, walau bagaimana kecilnya, selalu didasarkan atas prinsip-prinsip yang dewasa. Mereka yang berani menyatakan benar sebagai kebenaran, dan salah sebagai kesalahan. Dan tidak menerapkan kebenaran atas dasar agama, ormas, atau golongan apapun.”

“Bagiku perjuangan harus tetap ada. Usaha penghapusan terhadap kedegilan, terhadap pengkhianatan, terhadap segala-gala yang non humanis…”

“Nasib terbaik adalah tidak dilahirkan, yang kedua dilahirkan tapi mati muda, dan yang tersial adalah umur tua. Rasa-rasanya memang begitu. Bahagialah mereka yang mati muda.”

“Saya memutuskan bahwa saya akan bertahan dengan prinsip-prinsip saya. Lebih baik diasingkan daripada menyerah terhadap kemunafikan.”



to end with, be the next Gie and keep the spirit up. make this nation proud by doing good on everything you do. dont let the modernization breaks your mental of nasionalism and patriotism.
keep in mind, youre an indonesian, and you have to be proud of it.
chin up,

Pieces Dont Fit In Anymore

Hey peeps, long time no talk. I'm feeling bad for not sharing about what's on my mind lately on this blog and kept it all inside just like the words unsaid..

Now, I want to tell you, the whole situation that's been bothering me lately.
*taking a deep sigh*

Remember what I wrote in several months ago? About I found the one I was feeling right with? And how comfortable I was in that situation? Yeap! That boy. That G..
The situation has changed. Continually changing.

At first on October I actually thought that something went wrong between us, like I'm not sitting in the right chair or like I can't sleep in the bed even if I'm feeling tired. Just like that. Simple, but....that's bothering a lot.
Ok I thought at first, its probably because of my new life and atmosphere in college, and I thought it will be alright as it was before later. But sadly, its not.

In November, the situation became so much harder. I didn't know why but I rarely contact him and became easily mad at him. I'm feeling bad for doing it to him.

In December, geez! I thought everything's gambling. Its like playing a game and I know exactly I will lose, I really wanna stop, I wish for a restart button but I couldn't. Hah!
I kept on trying to make things right the way it used to be.. I had been trying. So hard. But the result? Big no! Situation's becoming so much complicated.

January, this month.. I was like "omg, will it be back and be alright because I'm just bored with the relationship" or "is it because of he's not the one and he's not that into me" aaaa confusing! Believe me, I'm afraid of taking the wrong path. Huhu.

Hmm did I make something wrong?

Believe me, I have no will to do that! I didn't even want to!
Do not ask why, because I didn't want it either but I have to let it be.
Actually at first I was like happy with him, so much! But as the time go
es by, something felt so wrong in here. Had been fall before, so I can easily compare how worth dying for it was with this situation. And there's a
big line between it two. The situation's different.

But I think, I have to be brave enough to make a decision..
I've been showing how I'm feeling until all the feeling has gone.
I can't exactly explain why it's not enough, because I gave it all to him. And nothing seems to work.
Even if I just explain nothing if he asked me what went wrong. That makes me feel guilty because its like I'm leaving him by his side with the words unsaid. My words won't catch the air. It can't be spoken and that's such a big burden!
Well I guess I understand it all now, It's the better thing to do if he wants to leave. Believe me, its better for him to leave.
It's time to surrender. It's been too long pretending
There's no use in trying when the pieces don't fit anymore

Ya,
The pieces don't fit in anymore..
I'm sorry. We have to walk in different way now..
We've had enough of trying.
May the best always be with you.
Thanks for being so kind...
I'm sorry for being such a total bitch! :-(

Tipang.
