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 have many perspectives to solve their life’s problems and also
they can use the paradigms to be studied by many scholars to create a 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 the authority and a paradigm are so close. Maybe, in the beginning the paradigm is a free value but
with using authority, the paradigm can be changed to be a value that is not
free from the interest, especially, the authority’s interest that leads in a society. So, we have to be ready to prevent the
movement from government’s 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, in this world, we have to fight the people who use their power (violence) to control their society.
May Allah bless them. Amen.
