Peaceful Desire in Kaili Ledo (Indonesia)

2/1/2019

Kaili Ledo Peace Desire

In Kaili Ledo spoken in Indonesia
desire and concern
or lack of feelings
are juxtaposed with peace and calm

"Naino rara" is to crave and desire greatly
to be moved or touched by life
or beautiful music
to strongly want something
a relationship
a connection
and "naino rara" also means to feel at home and peaceful
as if when we reach our goals
motivated by a strong desire
we develop inner peace
and a sense of relationship to place

"Natinda rara" also means calm and at ease
but unlike "naino rara" it has a dark side
meaning doesn't care about or is unmoved
hard-hearted and unconcerned
and yet satisfied
as if one can be unconcerned
about the feelings of others
and still find ease

What it also says
we don't often know the inner desires
and motivations of another person
perhaps is it out of fear or lack or worry
that one seems not to care about fellow human beings
while another achieves greatness
and contributes to world peace
