The philosophy of the country

The philosophy of the country
In brief, philosophy is disciplined thingking about basic principles and common beliefs. Whenever one is not satisfied with specific answers and tries to understand how all his information fits together, he is philosophizing.
Pancasila in the basic philosophy of our country. The five principles of Pancasila are:
1. Belief in the one and only God.
2. Just and the One and Only God
3. The Unity of Indonesia
4. Democracy Guided by the Inner Wisdom in the Unanimity Arising Out of Deliberations Amongst Representatives
5. Social Justice for the whole of the People of Indonesia.
In practise and in our daily life, the five principles cannot be separated
The mayor religion of Indonesia is Islam. A small number of people are Christians. On the island of Bali, most of the inhabitants are Hindus. Buddhism is practised in Indonesia by people of Chinese descent Every citizen is allowed to follow his own religion.
Although Indonesian population is a mixture of different ethnic groups, relations between people should
be peaceful. So the people are expected to make good relations with the foreigners. They should be loyal to the government and should be good citizens. If they can work, they be called good citizens.
Enmity should be avoided. We should not be at enmity with our relatives, friends or neighbours. Differences in opinions should not develop into enmity. Everything can be discussed and every prolem can be solved.
