Everybody in this world has a dream of living a nice and respectful life, being appreciated by others. If people learn to appreciate one another, then there would be more peace in the world. Though not everybody is able to respect one another, everybody aspires to be respected. It's obviously wrong because first you have to be capable of respecting other people to deserve respect for yourself.

That way, people also will treat you with respect. Indonesia is a land of utmost diversity in its customs, cultures, languages, religious beliefs- hence, tolerance can only achieve keeping this Indonesia different. Yes, there are people who don't stand tolerance. Mercifully, due to its tolerance and unity, Indonesia is highly united up to date. Nevertheless, were this trend to continue unchecked, it would soon also threaten that unity. We can do a few things to stop the spread of prejudice.

I will revive tolerance in Indonesia by educating all Indonesians about peace-supportive narratives through joining peace-enhancing organizations. History attests that tolerance and acceptance of individual differences among Indonesians were the keys toward Indonesia's declaration of independence, which united Indonesia from Sabang to Merauke regardless of differences in race, culture, or creed.

Therefore, I think education for Indonesians about the importance of diversity and tolerance will add to the battle against intolerance. I really hope all people will do the same, spread peace through the internet and not conduct provocations, building such Indonesia which will be tolerant and peaceful. It is my hope that the whole of Indonesia will take seriously the effort to eradicate intolerance for the sake of protecting diversity and ensuring a peaceful way of living.

We can save hate speeches that may initiate wars by being a good citizen and using the internet for decent messages, not insult remarks, to keep it alive. Hence, let us help in achieving world peace by not initiating nor engaging in an online war that will spread discord. Indeed, goodness and harmony may be the fruits of tolerance.

Tolerance towards life allows people of different walks of life to stay together in harmony. Be that as it may, let's come together and share on the internet films and other messages speaking of peace. You may even open a blog promoting peace as a means of bettering this place for our grandkids and all those coming after them. Above all, everyone can live together happily, with the ability to respect each other, first and foremost themselves.
