A Post For Voiceless Refugees

Refugee

The suffering.
Perhaps, we could says that the poor life is suffer. Yes, they are suffers financially, but they are still having loved family. Living in uncertainty, being marginalized, without adequate access to health and food. They are also human like you. Then, how the sufferings of someone who lost the loved ones and didn't know where to stay because of no countries accepting them officially. Can you imagine it ?

According to UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees), Article 1 A (2) of the 1951 Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status Of Refugees, the term "refugee" shall apply to any person who:
As a result of events occurring before 1 January 1951 and owing to wellfounded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country; or who, not having a nationality and being outside the country of his former habitual residence as a result of such events, is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to return to it.

In this opportunity I hope the countries that did not yet ratify the 1951 Convention above, willing to do it.

I quote a very interesting comment from Rummuser, in my post Give Your Voice For Refugee, as follow:
"....India is already an overpopulated country. So far it has accepted these refugees and tried to get them to be better off than they were before they left their countries. Now, with terrorists being identified from among the so called refugees, a back lash is building up and there are fears that the problems can only get worse. If the countries of origin of these people would do something about keeping them in their own countries, it would help!!"

How you think about the matter of terrorist among refugees? How to solve it?

  3. Homo homini lupus. Only human in this planet earth able to do something hurt to their own species.
    We create an imaginary border called nation only to show the world that we're different. And by doing this, some member of human race didn't have 'place' anywhere in this world.
    What is the different anyway? Who are we to judge they didn't belong here or there?

    Nice post, tikno. I hope everyone could see this post.

    ...every human being has worth value and dignity, and when a party refuse it there would be a chance that somebody become so called 'terrorist' to regain his/her dignity...so let's give respects to everybody...don't ever include reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion in our paradigm when we have to interact with somebody....
    warm regards

  14. Tikno, your receiving this award twice in the same week is a testament to the wonderful work you are doing in the blogging community.

    I hope that you will not ignore Carole's award. On the contrary, you should mention that you were honored twice. By two people who did not know that the other frequented your site.

    Your blessings are coming in abundance. Obviously you have drawn this recognition to you. Because, what you put out into the universe is what you get back.

    Enjoy the moment and continue doing great work!!!

  15. What creates a terrorist in the first place? Being marginalized from society. Perhaps we need to reach out to these people and bring them back into society somehow. Is that possible, or is it too late?

  18. dear Sir,
    about the problem of terrorist among refugee, I ever learned about the case like this.
    as long as I study I recognize the concept of complex humanitarian emergency (CHEx). CHEx is a phenomena wheres not only war that occur but, followed by other phenomena like mass displacement, hunger, death, diseases endemic, and the other violation. and most important of this is those phenomena is not natural but MAN MADE.
    So, it can be concluded that the existence of violence or unsecure condition in the world now is a constructed by the people. people who really want to create the violence just for their interest or politics. so there's a political motive here.
    like chidl soldiers or civilians abusive in Africa, sometimes some groups creates it just for instrument of their politic.
    I think it is same with the case of refugee that you wrote. the existence of terrorist maybe replacement the refugee just for their political instrument or increasing their political opportunity. But it just my argument, I dont know the truth.
    thank you for posting this

WHY

I do not know who create this song. I do not understand its lyric. I just know that this song really touched my heart. I listened to it over and over. Eventually I tried to find out the meaning of the first 3 characters of the lyrics, and found its meaning: 为什么 = WHY. My friend told me that the question was answered in the lyrics: 因为我 = BECAUSE OF ME. Let me go through this post begging you fellow Christian brother please return to the beginning of Christianity, let's back to the Bible. My religious consciousness told me that Jesus did NOT teach you to create many denominations of Christianity. If Christianity begun from one person, that is Jesus, then why I see many denominations to this day. Let this world only know one Christianity, one faith, one communion, one congregation. I am begging you, please! Post update 24 March 2021: The greatness of God (infinite) is beyond human knowledge (finite). Please remember the story about St. Augustine and a child by seaside whose want to po...

Tacit knowledge

Frankly, this is the most difficult topic for me to write about. This is something abstract, not easy to express or formulate in written or verbal form. But I tried to express it in this post. When I was in junior high school, I was told that knowledge consisted of two main branches, namely exact and non-exact knowledge, as I mentioned in a previous post . Simply, I refer to it as logical and illogical knowledge, the two inseparable abilities which actually united and embedded within humans as I mentioned in the other previous post . I think those two posts can stimulate our minds on how to understand Tacit knowledge. There are two main realms. The first realm refers to the science of mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer programming, etc., which can be coded/formulated, where the result is logically certain. The second realm refers to social sciences, politics, psychology, philosophy, art, etc., which cannot be coded/formulated with a definite formula. Lately I have heard the term...

Triple Filter Test

In ancient Greece, Socrates was known to have great knowledge and was very honorable. One day, a woman met him and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your best friend?" "Wait a moment," Socrates answered; "Before you tell me anything, I will give you a simple test called the Triple Filter Test." The first filter is TRUTHFULNESS: "Are you sure that what you are going to tell me is true?". "No, actually, I JUST HEARD ISSUES about it," the woman replied. "Good," said Socrates. "So you're not sure it's true? Ok, now I'll give you the second filter." The second filter is GOODNESS: "Is what you are going to say about my friend something good?" "No, quite the opposite..." answered the woman. So, Socrates continues, "you will tell something bad about him, but you are not sure whether it is true. Well, you still have one more chance; there is still one more filter, namely the third...
