Freedom and Religious Maturity

Let us wake up to maturity and learn to be more mature in religiosity. It is where the development of religious affairs is directed so that this nation attains the essence of freedom of religion.

The nation deserves to be proud and grateful that the Republic of Indonesia still stands strong at the age of 77 years. Much has yet to be accomplished, even though much progress has been achieved.

Things may come out as underwhelming, but there are far more overwhelming and pride-provoking achievements. Commemoration of Indonesia’s Independence Day should always be made an occasion for citizens to rejuvenate the spirit of nationalism and optimism that sovereignty will propel Indonesia into a just and prosperous nation in the future.
