Fanaticism

I realise for quite a long time ago, we Malaysia (or maybe human) tend to have fanaticism over something or somebody. To me, this is due to the inability to think rationally and self-inferiority.

Many case in Malaysia related to fanaticism like the false prophet, Ayah Pin and many more. The follower cannot think rationally, forgetting the basic rule in their life. Like when it comes religious matter, doesn't matter whether the person have miracle or special power, they just can't be god or prophet. For Muslim, it's stated and understands that the last prophet was Muhammad. There are no other prophet after him. By grasping and holding to such a simple concept/rule, it just impossible to believe that there is anybody could a prophet. It's so simple yet people cannot think rationally. All due to fanaticism. Even the most virtuous person can fall.

The same with the MIC case where the president again reign and continue his greedy-dictatorship even he wasn't able to make MIC a better than it was. Most people doesn't oppose him eventhough he has such many weaknesses, the fact that he won the election is the hard, cold proof.

Despite that, there are also other who try to bring him back to reality and step down, but rather supported, they were "nominated" for a slipper-kalung by one of his underlings. No action were taken for such rude act, showing the president himself "approving" the suggestion.

He lost during the last election in his favourable place, yet have the guts to remain his post while many other step down as a proof of feeling guilty and giving way to other potential person to lead the party to a better future. Yet, people still vote for him, thus proving their fanaticism.

Fanaticism is a part of people self-inferiority. Why, because they don't have enough confidence to deny what others say, to retaliate others action and to stand firm on our very own belief.

To me, we don't have to trust any special-power person or any high-post-great-political leader, but we have to trust ourselves. We live our life. We see what we have and what we lack, what our leader done or don't. Only we ourselves know what best for us. So, we have to trust our decision and say no when we want to.

Fanaticism would only lead to more problem and anomaly. It's a society plague, a proof of self-underdevelopment and hinders world to become a great place as I should be.
