Thousands of years ago various hunter and gatherer groups wandered across Asia and Europe as they followed the mammoths that ate the weeds, gradually the ice began to melt, the grass growing patterns changed, the herds moving northward and diminishing. Following some hunters, others, because of the lack of meat that is at the core of their staple food, reap the weeds and at some point begin to plant some of the grass themselves, perhaps.
Although the history books of the world usually begin with pre-history, but what is the pre-historic period? Is it just a time where humans have not found the writing alone? Other specialists, Anthropologists for example have much better equipment to delve into past darkness further, so they can speculate about human behavior, about sedentary patterns, about motivation as a time without diffrence. But it is certainly difficult to find the lives of certain people who give flesh and life to abstract questions about human behavior.
Man finally finds writing, but oral traditions still live for centuries later. As an example of Snouck Hurgronye in the book Aceh In the Colonial Eye of Volume II, mentioned in the literary chapter mentions "With Aceh literature we mean all that has been fabricated in the Aceh language. I deliberately call "fabricated" and not "written," because the strict distinction between what is perpetuated and what is not enshrined in writing can not be applied consistently to the works of the authors of Aceh both in the past and now. "
Oral tales that are not less popular in Indonesia is "The Kancil" a figure that shows the linkage with "Eulenspiegel" from Germany. "Juha" from Arabia and "Nasruddin Hoja" from Turkey. This is a common thread connected through oral tradition.
Writing win, Van Heutsz conquered the never-ending Batee Iliek fortress for nearly 30 years of Aceh war by mimicking a strategy as written by Homerus, the Trojan War epic, incorporating Abu Pang into the urn, the Indies warlord stormed the strongest fortress of the Aceh Darussalam Sultanate, the leader of Said Muhammad through the back road.
In 1901 Batee Iliek fortress fell, a distance not so far with modern history because only 4 years later Einstein found the theory of relativity. I imagine, if the fortress Batee Iliek persisted until World War I began in 1914 then history will be different, honey history does not begin with the word, if only.
Van Dalen sliced Gayo land through a bloody expedition in 1904. He borrowed Julius Ceasar's brutal strategy. Facing the confederation of tribes in Gayo Land as the last independent power in Aceh, he imitated Julius's style against the communion of the Galician tribes led by Vercingatorix. Gayo land fell, and officially the Netherlands Indies declared the Aceh war officially ended.
We have lived, in the time of writing not so powerful. Before this millennium began when the digital age was still shy, we still felt how strong our feelings were, for example when I did not find any friends in the afternoons, I would have guessed they must be bathing in the river, and when they got there , almost always I find them there. Now with the telecommunication era, the reach of the game is getting farther but before going out the house I have to make sure through sms, or any other messaging device where they are.
With written history written, books printed, science increasingly easy to obtain. Do not forget the Dutch conquer us with accurate, verified and valid documents. But what happens if the current we get is pollution writing? This era is the age of social media, all information is scattered everywhere, everyone can be a news funnel. No doubt the hoax was scattered, we chew and chew and take it the truth.
The mastershared are scattered, sorry that sometimes they are friends, teachers, influential people and we think we are smarter, and sadly unknowingly they are agents of the hoax portals. The portal benefits from advertising, while our friends are plunged into the reputation of "rusty brains"
Reading is good, as our desires to know us about any science will be useful. Like food, eating is good. But what happens when we put rubbish in our stomachs? So what's the difference with pigs? Who ate his own shit?
Einstein once said. "Humans who only read a lot and only use his brain so little will be lazy". Why? We just read it and do not weigh it first then we will be stuck on a touching story, so that each reader will be touched and not behind to spread it. One hoax pattern is to utilize the side of the human heart is very sensitive to the mind will be abandoned for a moment. Whereas "heart" and "mind" have to walk side by side, it is very naïve if they are left alone without a companion.

The human brain is originally an empty house, they fill it with furniture that suits their needs. The moron takes all the information he or she encounters, so the knowledge that might be useful to him is squeezed in the middle or mixed with something else. The Wise on the contrary, carefully choosing what was put into the house. He does not include anything except the equipment that will help him do the work, because what is needed is enough. Everything is arranged neatly in the home-brain so that when needed, he easily finds it.
It would be a mistake to think that the house-our brain has enlarged walls, especially after the end of the growth period. The house / brain frame will be just that much, so for every knowledge that has been entered, there is something known and something is forgotten. Therefore, it is really important not to let the useless facts get rid of useful facts.
I do not want to save the world from pollution writing, just simple, I just want to clean my facebook wall from hoax droppings by delivering this, or as much as possible awaken the closest friends from the mastershared profession, nothing more. Please stop it!
Civilization without writing? Impossible. We are all slaves of history. It is a river that can not be disturbed by anyone. Nor can we swim against its power. In fact we will sink into the current. As this message will not be conveyed if not through writing, but as much as possible start reaching out with simple things, like telling stories to our children orally, it is more meaningful than buying a fairy tale, true knowledge will not be able to beat experience, which we share together through small, simple dialogues.
