Why are we silent for?

Let it pass the past. This may be the logic that all the people involved think that they are invulnerable, but no one has told them that they have never admitted that they are in the past.
Perhaps it is to make people feel the things in front of them. For a long time, Adi has checked the degree of glasses for the captains of the firing squad, selected lenses, and then installed them into the frames, and then personally helped them bring them. When he chose to talk to those people about the killings of the year, what I saw was his twisting crow's feet, but what I couldn't see was his inner struggle. After Ramli died, their father began to lose a tooth every day, and their mother prayed to Allah day and night. Two years after Ramli was thrown into the snake river, Allah rewarded them with Adi, and Allah did what his mother prayed. That way, because mother said, Adi is almost a remake of Ramley.
When Adi was still gestating, I wondered if this life at that time would also resemble the restless worm eggs in the mother's hands, they desperately looked out, desperately broke free, desperately desperately. To this day, when Adi finally stood in front of the politicians in this world, he found that they were as strong as before, and their position was so strong that time could not change anything. And the regret he was expecting seemed to be just wishful thinking of the victims. Let it pass the past. This is the extremely sincere advice given to the young man in front of him. It is in this sincere teaching that people have chosen to forget from generation to generation.
Forget, someone told me that it was just a choice. Because we also choose something and then remember it. History never asks us to record anything. He feels that every part of his body is so dirty. Although someone keeps washing the past, we still can’t be silent. The unexamined life is worthless. The history of scrutiny is not worth mentioning!

  • Himself, brother of murdered Ramli Rukun: Tell me about that madness.

    Himself, former leader the village death squad: Some killed so many people who have gone mad. A man climbed a palm tree, every morning, to call for prayer. Killed too many people. There is only one way to avoid it. Drink the blood or go crazy. But if you drink blood, you can do anything.

    Himself, brother of murdered Ramli Rukun: [Testing the eyeglasses] What do you think...

    Himself, former leader the village death squad: Salty and sweet. The human blood.

    Himself, brother of murdered Ramli Rukun: Pardon?

    Himself, former leader the village death squad: Human blood is salty and sweet. I know from experience.

  • Himself, former commander of a civilian militia: I'm not Rambo. I was Secretary General of the Komando Aksi.

    Himself, brother of murdered Ramli Rukun: Or is it so great a crime that you did not want to admit?

    Himself, former commander of a civilian militia: No, I do not think that's great.

    Himself, brother of murdered Ramli Rukun: But a million people died...

    Himself, former commander of a civilian militia: That's politics. Politics is the process of achieving your ideals.

    [laughing]
