WHY IS IT FAIR SO FAR ?

Why our country never got really rich in the real world with all our natural resources? Should we put all the blame to the government? Or should we curse the foreign companies who took almost all our resources? Is it imperialism or is it capitalism that is causing this unfairness in the ability of mining our own goods because only rich (countries) gets the right to run the business. Is it right to always complain? Or is thinking positive noble enough for our dream of becoming a wealthy country to come true?
Does anybody really have any answers to these? Or is everyone finally giving up on harvesting our countries natural resources?

          One big question that I want to ask is “Do we have the right to possess all our natural resources located beneath our earth right now?” If all our gold was to be mined in Papua then why do the Javanese get all the goods? Why don’t we have skyscrapers in Papua? If the answer is because Java and Papua are in one country, then what makes it different with other country being the one mining our oil as well as making profit out of it? We both live on planet earth.

Can you imagine how poor and deprived Java would be without the supplies from other islands?

We need to make a simple analogy to really get deep into this worldwide point of view. A state is a group of districts, a country is a group of states and the world is a group of countries. It is impossible for one state to provide all the people’s needs from their own resources. Java can’t live without other Islands and other island can’t live without Java. The relationship is obviously pretty mutual but the reality doesn’t say so. Java is much more modern than other island yet nobody can blame the Javanese for this unevenly spread of wealth in our country. We need each other although disproportionate wealth spread is one consequence that we have to compensate.

        Imbalanced spread of wealth is everywhere in this world. Europe is much more technologically advanced than most of Asian countries. As I have mention about Java, countries in Asia have no right to blame the Europeans. Deals are made and the trade goes on. I am not trying to accuse our own people here. I am just trying to open our eyes that if we want to blame capitalism and imperialism then we better clean our own kitchen first because these troubles are also happening in our country. How all the President came from Java is just one of many pretty clear indicator of what’s happening in our country.
