Like Water that Flows Constantly (by Marissa Haque Fawzi, 2004)


Reflections on the meaning of life: Marissa Haque
(Amidst the flood that hits Indonesia)

Bintaro, Jakarta, February 21, 2004


Water is the source of life.

It is very flexible and can easily adapt itself to anything.

If its course is blocked by a rock, then it will choose another one and continues flowing down towards its destination.

Water also behaves modesty, because it always flows to a lower place.

If the temperature rises, it evaporates, goes up to the sky and afterwards comes down again on the earth.

Water cleans everything; it floods the rice fields in the dry season; it cleans dust and makes the soil fertile.

According to a story, when the rain falls, thousands of angels come down with it.

But if the rains come down in torrents and continuously, like what is happening in the last few days in Indonesia, then there might be something wrong in the relations between men and water.

Water will become men’s friend if we treat it in s friendly way, but if we don’t do it, it will destroy us.In life, water is an indicator of the quality of men in the eyes of God the Almighty.

“I am majoring in environmental study focusing on illegal logging. The research was conducted in Riau because it is the sexiest region, geographically,” Marissa said after the graduation ceremony inside Grawida Hall at the Darmaga campus in Bogor.



When asked why she chose environmental studies, the wife of rock-star Ikang Fawzi said that it was because of her academic background in legal and business studies.

“My thesis statement was ‘crime is driven by economy, while the vehicle is politics’,” she said.

She also said that she would leave for East Timor on March 5 after being invited by the country’s agriculture and women’s empowerment ministries to commemorate World Women’s Day.

Marissa said that she would stay in East Timor for 10 days, while being involved in various discussions related to environmental and women’s empowerment issues.

“Environmental issues are very important because there are three things which can make human survive: water, air and food,” she said.

“These three things are getting reduced. Water sustainability is already damaged while food is getting scarcer due to the bigger population.” (nvn)
