Abstract

The year 2022 is the year we all bounce back from a pandemic. We’ve seen restrictions lifted all around the world and Indonesia so we are slowly back to life before the pandemic. A lot of events are happening globally such as natural disasters, wars that continue between Ukraine and Russia, G-20 meetings, and World Cup 2022. As I am writing this in December, it is only fitting to reflect on what we have accomplished since January 2022. As a nation, our president announced that he will stop our exports of raw nickel to the EU, and this is a bold move. As an academician, we have been working hard to do our research and get published, let's celebrate regardless of our number of publications. As a person, we have managed to keep our interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships in check, so we must be grateful. As an entity, our workplace has also achieved numerous accomplishments that we are proud of. When we read or see tons of information on the internet, it is very difficult to digest and sorts the correct and useful information. If we are aware, there are many videos that talk about a recession in 2023, that state there will be an economic crisis, so we need to prepare for it or otherwise, we are doomed. Sometimes it is good to see such videos to prepare but sometimes it is also overwhelming. As a country with five major religions, and our first Pancasila stated to "Believed in God", the construction of spirituality is very important. Spirituality comes from within us and we have a higher calling to do what’s good, what's moral, and what's not from our belief system. For instance, if we are Muslims, we are obliged to do five times prayer and not eat pork as it is considered haram. By standing on these main principles of being a Muslim, we are keen on walking ahead to face whatever God has planned for us. it is necessary for us to have a strong principle at heart that is based on our belief system. When we possess a strong spirituality, we have a tendency to be kind to other people. Kindness is the basis of practicing humanity. When we are not judging why someone does what they do, but rather inquire why we value them as a human. Therefore, we practice humanity. To face 2023, we do not need to be fully equipped with millions of savings, although that can be an advantage. As such knowledge is given to us, to help us, we are human and need to construct our spirituality and humanity so that we won't be lost in the uncertainty. We stand by our principle to face a fast-changing and uncertain world. We will be far more ready to accept anything given by God by instilling what we had all along, our belief and our ability to be kind.
