think realistic prior to election

Today is election day.. and there’s lots of opinion, critics and stuffs. Well, to be honest, I’m so not into it. There’s a reason for it for sure,, yeah apart from my apolitical mind, another reason is realistic thinking, which I think not so many Indonesians are thinking the way I am.

According to me, whoever win the election and elected to be the ruler of the country, none of them can realize what they say they would in the near future . Every candidate has his/ her ups and downs, for me, none of them suits the position, frankly speaking. It’s all bout what and how much loss u’ll afford to pay in the mean time. U’ve to given up some to get something in returns, no gain no pain. Well, I would say no offense to those people who might get offended, because I think I’m saying it based on reality, not the whole bugs of promises and premises.

First, people are all thinkin’ way too simple for such complicated ones. I mean, it’s all the problem of materialism and those parliament reps are no exception. The materialism virus have been so contagious and widely spread during Soeharto’s time. Well, how long did the Soeharto reign ? everyone knows it, 32 years. If that’s 32 years was the period of time to raise only one baby to a mature man, then whatever habit the man has, sure it will be damn hard to change his habit by now. And moreover if this man has got a baby, then the child would be educated in the way the man were. So in the end, u’ve got exponential growth of these “materialism worshippers”

So, I’m not trying to be on anyone’s side, but just be realistic. How’re u gonna fix things which has been going on for 32 years, and suddenly u’ve got to stop everything or at least most of them merely in 5 years and u got kicked out the next second. I’m pretty sure no human can ever fix those in a sec. Yet there are some people still can’t see this. I guess, they might have some problems with logical thinking or whatever medical term for this kind brain disorder.

Those candidates might offer us a lot. But look, first they’ve never been in the position as the current president is, so if they got elected, they would need some time to adapt to the real deal. Well, even if those who’ve been once elected as a president a period ago, still, the situation between now and years ago are not the same, so they would need to go thru the same adaptation process. So basically choosing another candidate will just start the whole healing process all over again.. or perhaps even moving backwards, yeah u never know.
