Moral vs Non Moral

Potongan dari KOMPAS CETAK hari ini:

Any comment? Kok ternyata bukan di Indonesia doang ya pemilih mengutamakan nilai2 agama ... hmmm ... kirain ...

But at least we are healthy. At least I am facing this together with my husband and kids as a family. At least I am at home that is fu...
All of a sudden my thoughts fly to my old friends tonight. How are they all doing? I miss the good old days. I am here, content and happy, but somehow I still miss them. People come and go in your life, but true friends remain in the heart, no matter where they are now, right :) ?
