“My relation with Gus Dur had been started by grandmother and his mother. We were neighbor in Matraman, East Jakarta. We played together since we are relatively in the same age. The thing that makes me be in deep feeling when his mother, together with others, bathed my grandmother’s corpse when she passed away”. Prabowo remember his experience with Gus Dur.
“My personal relation with Gus Dur has established since I was in Major rank. Our relation has passed the power relation.

“The other close personal relation with him is that I was massaging him frequently. That is the way I respect him as my senior. Perhaps it is because I practice Pencak Silat.

Even though we are in disagreement, tolerance needs to trained and applied by direct interaction. We can’t teach tolerance theoretically.
