Hermiz Tiro is a well-known thinker and writer in our nation. He says that our discussions are an expression of our personal opinions. Sometimes we agree with an idea, sometimes not, but it does not mean that the ideas are always correct or they are always wrong. He added that our nation has intellectuals, but their ideas remained personal and did not become part of our culture.


Mr. Tiro says that our nation has intellectuals, but their ideas remained personal and did not become part of our culture. Mr Tiro supports the opinion of the famous historian Arnold Toynbee when he says that history is the expression of people's opinions, that is, every event is a fact that occurred at some time, but the interpretation of that event differs from one person to another.. For example from modern history, the Vietnam War or Korean War actually happened ... but its writing and interpretation are subject to the whims of its writers and inclinations, and their sources.

Taking advantage of the opinions and thought of those who preceded us and adding to it? He said, we have a problem, we cannot distinguish or feel whether we are a nation, a people, or sects. And I believe that a large part of the nation tend to sectarianism and five to ten percent tend to think that we are a nation.

He added that we find that there is no broad and comprehensive idea for this nation ... and when questioned: Do we have thinkers? He replys: Yes, intellectuals appeared, but their ideas remained personal, as they did not enter into the depth of the history of national thought ... as it then becomes a culture of the nation ... that is, the thought becomes part of the nation’s culture then the nation advances and develops.
