Rest in peace

The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use - of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public.
Robert F. Kennedy, 'I Remember, I Believe,' The Pursuit of Justice, 1964
US Democratic politician (1925 - 1968)

Kutipan kalimat di atas menyadarkan gw, bahwa kekuasaan orang-orang penting amat sangat berpengaruh dalam menentukan hidup mati seseorang, khususnya orang-orang kecil yang gak tau apa-apa dan cuma jadi kambing hitam! Gampang memang mencari orang lain yang gak tau apa-apa untuk disalahkan daripada mengusut kasus busuk yang akan membongkar aib orang-orang berkuasa. Ironis banget sih, tapi mau gimana lagi, emang kenyataannya begitu, pada akhirnya kita cuma bisa diam, prihatin dan menumpahkan uneg-uneg lewat tulisan.

The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them.
Lois McMaster Bujold, Diplomatic Immunity, 2002
US science fiction author


Rest in peace for Fabianus Tibo, Marinus Tiwu, dan Dommingus da Silva...May God bless their love ones...Amen.
