I am an observer of political life, especially in Indonesia and for a kind of range, international politics. As I understood, politics was an innate, ancient behavior, located in our limbic system as a resultant from our evolutionary process as humankind. There are nature and nurture elements in politics, as we could seen those in the political actors behaviors, speeches, maneuvers, and domination-submission mechanism in the struggle for power process.

In this world
Nothing is permanent
except...
Change itself
Ah, that's what Heraclitus said
A man who lived in the past
Even Jesus not yet
Born from Mary's womb
Change
No one likes it
Birth, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, old age, death, rotting corpse
In the grave 2x1
Do you like it?
It's strange if "yes"
But I understand if you say so
Love, longing, blandness, hate, not wanting to meet
Has it ever happened?
That's change
Nobody wants it
Unless
You want it
Although it can
and cannot happen to everyone
Not wanting to meet, hate, blandness, longing, love
That's also change
Everyone wants it
Although it can
and cannot happen
To everyone
But
Heraclitus did not negate
That change
Must be experienced alone
A pair of doves
Can go through change together
Iron can rust
That's change
But it goes through it with oxygen
Without which
It cannot reach The Rust
Change
Is inevitable
But
Change has no conditions
It must be experienced
Only by one entity
Two entities have the right, equally
To experience change
Including us ... and where it flows
Us
