There will be dependency which is determined by sensitivity of collective loyality and uniformity of interest. They bring consequences for those who want to be un-connected. -------------- Konektifitas menghubungkan keberagaman karakter dan kepentingan, menjadi karakter dan kepentingan kolektif.

This paper is very interesting to reflect as it brings symbolic meaning of the message of spiritual journey which ends with joyful. In addition, it is an effort to explain the relationship between vulnerability and joy as Hoffman’s statement in his commentary that … the joy that comes from experiencing true love is rooted in our ability to make ourselves vulnerable. The writer describes the relationship between vulnerability and joy within...
