Last year, I bought and read a book titled "Living Pathway - Meditations on sustainable cultures & cosmologies in Asia" by M.Nadarajah. It touches on the cosmology of sustainability as practiced by indigenous people and cultures around the world, especially in comparison to the SDG concept of sustainability. The word 'pathway' also catched my eyes.
For me, its senadi and sejadi. Its a form of symbiotic interconnectivity & embodiment between humans, their homes and their natural environment. Humans role and place in such 'kesenadian' relates to stewardship, custodianship, or khalifah (viceroy), penjaga amanah (trustee), not 'pemilik hakiki alam pinjam ini' (definite owner of this borrowed world). Unfortunately, we are facing a cleansing of such kesenadian or interconnectivity. The kesenadian, based on love and compassion, is being cleansed by predatorial capitalistic system based on greed. Such cleansing has been taking place all over the world under the mask of 'development' and 'globalisation'.
What happened to the Bajau Laut community in Semporna, Sabah, recently echoes similar corruption, inteference & cleansing pattern by a dominant predatorial capitalistic system that 'prasan' it is forever superior than other minority ethnic cultures, heritage & traditions that represent reciprocal and symbiotic relationship with Nature.
I have to share following thoughts in Bahasa Melayu to avoid myself from using cursing words.
Mereka yg sudah mabuk dan jauh disesatkan raksasa kapitalisme pemangsa, tidak lagi ada rasa kasih dan belas. Jgn fikir raksasa ini jauh di seberang benua. Raksasa ini halus, boleh menyelinap secara melata, terus masuk dlm fikiran dan perasaan manusia, tak kira apa bangsa.
Musuh yg disangka mengganas di Gaza dan Rafah, rupa2nya boleh mengganas di mana2. Mungkin ia sudah lama meresap secara sistemik dlm sistem darah dan sistem saraf manusia sedunia. Berdoalah agar ia tidak muncul dan mengganas di kediaman & kejiranan anda.
Mungkin kini, Tuhan sedang membongkar segala yg dulunya dihijab dan dibayangi naratif2 palsu & menyesatkan manusia yg lupa mensejahterakan bumi yg dipijak dan menjunjung langitnya
