THE POWER OF POWER!

By : Habib Muhammad Shahib

As time goes on, we can see many ideologies and paradigms coloring our
history that also make our relation within people become dynamic and colorful until
nowadays. As the positive effects, those paradigms can make people having many
perspectives to solve their lifes problems and also they can use the paradigms to
be studied by many scholars to create the better civilization in the future. But as a
negative effect, there is a black side behind each paradigm which has ever existed
on this planet. Popular, we call it as the tool of power.
The socio-history scientists around this world have a similar definition for the
tool of power. Those experts believe. There are no civilizations which have existed
until nowadays without using or making a paradigm to rule their people. As an
effect of using or making the paradigm, we can see from many historical books that
the violence actions always exist behind each paradigm which is totally supported
by the power of authority to support the existence of paradigm that authority in one
society (country) believes in. Even with the religion paradigms. We have to be
honest. There are no religions in this world without bloody stories to support their
existence.
Based on the above, we have to be aware that the relation between an
authority and a paradigm are so close. Maybe, in the beginning the paradigm is a
free of value but with using authority, the paradigm can be changed to be a value
that is not free from the interest, especially, the authoritys interest that leads in
one society. So, we have to be ready to prevent the movement from governments
bodies or other parties (including religion parties) that will use their paradigms
(ideologies) to push their people or followers to obey their power (rules). Even, if the
governments or the other parties use violence in pushing or controlling their society
(group). Because, on the earth, we have to fight to whom that use their power
(violence) to control their society. Who are doing that, we can call it. May, Allah
Blesses them. Amen.
