One
of the very important things in life is Personal Identity. Every people have
different Personal Identity. As a human I have to keep well my Personal
Identity because this is my characteristics. People can identify others by
seeing at others Personal Identity. Besides, without Personal Identity, I
cannot know what life is, who I am and what my destination is in this life.
Also, without Personal Identity, Human cannot know each other, I cannot
recognize others people and people cannot recognize me.
Personal Identity consists
of two kinds. They are physical Personal Identity and Inner Personal Identity.
Physical Personal Identity is identities that can be identified easily. It can
see from shape of the body, color skin, dimple, name, height, name, address,
day and date of the birth, age, gender, categorization of the blood, and so forth.
Meanwhile, Inner Personal Identity is Identities which cannot be identified
from outside. To know this Personal Identity, it can be seen from people
characteristics, for instances the way their speaking, whether the people is diligent
or lazy, in terms of their vision and mission, whether they are angry or patient
persons, whether they are kind or wicked persons and so on.
Through Personal Identity,
Life is begun. By having Personal Identity we can know everything. We can also
know what the meaning of life itself. We can know others name, knowing each
other, and make good relationship to others. So, life can be easier if people
can know their Personal Identity well. If we have known our Personal Identities
well, then we can see others Personal Identity. After we know others well, then
it can help us to make good relationship to others.
Personal Identity also
consists of traditions, cultures, religions, races, ethnics, languages,
traditional dances, and so on, which are different each other. Indonesia has
all these characters. That is why people in Indonesia call those by Multiculturalism.
Although every people are different backgrounds of them, people should have
good unity. It means that people have to build respectable to the others, let
them believe and worship to their God, do not to force them to follow what we
are belief, and do not bother them.
If we can respect each other
well, the Multiculturalism in our country will work well. If multiculturalism
and respectability can work harmoniously, the democracy will also work well
because multiculturalism has important role in unity aspect. However, sometimes
those are still have problems. Because of having not good Personal Identity, multiculturalism
only becomes enemy. For example, when President Soeharto era, multiculturalism
becomes the thing that always emerges conflict. That is why if we want to held
something, we do not have to contain SARA (ethnic group, religion, and race).
Multiculturalisme can work
well if every people have good Personal Identity. We have to build solid
foundation. If foundation is strong, the building will be strong also. We have
to have good personality, good behavior, good understanding and good
characters. We have to know our Personal Identity well. The important thing is
after we have good Personal Identity, then we can build respectability well to
others. By building all of those foundations Multiculturalisme will run well.
Finally, the democracy will work well also.
