LLP#062 - Searching for Peace & Finding the Magic in Conflicts with Abang Rahino Part 1


Listen Later

Have you learned something new today? Life is, after all, a series of fortunate and unfortunate learnings. Wouldn’t you agree? In this episode, we have a special guest to learn from. Abang Rahino, or Mas Rino is the youngest of eight children born through the marriage of two prominent Indonesian artists and activists, S. Sudjojono and Mia Bustam, whose works are known nationally and internationally in the 1950s and 60’s. That might sound like it's a really long time ago and not so relatable. But we found Mas Rino’s story to be nothing short of fascinating, giving us insights to how life was like in Indonesia during that troubled period. We get peak into his life as the youngest child of very politically and creatively outspoken and involved parents, and how that kind of involvement affected their marriage and family dynamics to the point of having extramarital affairs and eventually divorce. What was Mas Rino’s felt experience, as a child, having to witness his mother being forcefully taken away from him, and for them to have to almost forget about each other for years? There's just so much to unpack in Mas Rino's story, and we hope that you will listen to the entire story. But for now, this is part one. Enjoy.

This is Reality Check, where we discuss important topics and concepts that form the foundation of our lives, and yet need to be contemplated so that perspectives may open the way to fresh new takes and hopefully help us deal with that nagging feeling of being stuck. Facts matter for sure, but equally or even more importantly, we want to put all options on the table and relate openly about what we may have missed as a result of our unescapable biases and other horse blinders. This is a place where we revisit what we thought we understood or knew, in order to spark new growth.

As usual, please note that this is not a replacement for adequate treatment, so please get in touch with someone qualified to help you if you are struggling more than you should. This includes seeing a doctor for medical attention or seeking therapy for affective and mental health challenges.
