Respecting each other is a very important aspect of every individual's life, and a life with respect is what everyone desires to live. When people respect each other, peace can then exist in the world. As much as we want others to respect us, we should also realize that not everyone will give us respect. This might be unfair, but the secret therein is that for us to get respect, then we must be the first ones to give it to others. By giving respect to all people, we expect it back from them.

Because of this, Indonesian society needs to promote values of tolerance, respect, and acceptance. These principles are fundamental in maintaining national unity and integrity. Still, there are people who demonstrate deep intolerance. Where intolerance spreads, it threatens the social cohesion that has been crucial to Indonesia's unity, rooted in a diverse culture of tolerance and togetherness. But it is within our power to prevent hate from spreading.

I do this by creating awareness on peaceful values for the citizens in Indonesia. The feeling of tolerance, understanding the concept of diversity, brought Indonesians together to strive for their independence. Unity made them unite as people from every region, culture, and belief came to be under one umbrella as one nation.

With this in mind, I believe that by actively working to raise awareness about tolerance and diversity, I can contribute to combating intolerance. I trust that others will also promote peace by spreading positive messages online and avoiding actions that could escalate conflicts, helping to build a more peaceful and tolerant Indonesia.
