It's been a long time that red foot pads accompanied lasaknya my daily steps. As I stood alone on the beach while sitting on the top of a dead tree, I tried to grab the slipper and flick through it, thinking of him. Counting the ends of the thorns embedded in the bottom layer as a record of his services in saving my legs. I was touched, even I wanted him to turn into a living being to feel the softness of my stomach as a thank-you. But he is only a dead object.

Oh, no. I can not think that stiff. My Red Sandals are the same as the human body. It is a collection of materials. If all the material proceeds, what difference does it make of life or not? A boy is processing into an adult; a tree is processed into firewood; a baby buffalo processed into a fat buffalo, then came day meugang, he was slaughtered until the evening he served as meat at the dinner table. A table processed into an old table with a dull tint is no longer reflecting the pretty face of the hostess..

No living things or inanimate objects. There is only a collection of matter in the form of a tree, a table, a human being and a buffalo. In the human eye, a buffalo is an animal. In the eyes of the buffalo, humans are a funny buffalo, who make them cages, who cut them grass, which day and night walk upright with improper style.

Humans and buffaloes make no difference. But can not humans make airplanes, create computers and knit pretty bags? Ah, that's not important to the buffalo. Buffalo can die, either caused by aging or slaughtered humans. Humans can also die, either due to aging, buffalo watering, or being killed by humans from other political parties.

But humans can ride coconuts, status updates, authoring books, singing and selfie. Ah, that's not important to the buffalo. But man can slaughter a buffalo to eat his flesh. Ah, if the buffaloes liked to eat meat, they would also throw people down and eat the meat; but buffalo just like to eat grass and leaves. But humans worship the Rabb. Ah, to worship to Rabb, does the buffalo also have to go to mosques, churches and temples?

Humans can distinguish the kind of haram and halal grass to take home to be eaten by children and wives.. Ouch, for the buffalo, the grass is to be eaten; not to be separated between the legitimate and illegitimate, between the lawful lawn and the forbidden grass..

Then, where's my Red Sandals? How lost? O-yeah-while I got up from the seat and shifted to take a picture of it, I was trapped in a fantasy along those few steps-he put it where I had sat, on the rotting wood behind the mangrove, in opposition to a buffalo grazing. Looks like the buffalo no matter which lawn and halal grass as far as both are swallowed.
