Living Harmony And Peace at Ubud Bali
by: B. Wira Utama, S.H

Under the bright sunrise in the early morning, an old woman walking in one of the side-street of Ubud Bali accompanied by a rather big dog. In front of her there were standing about 8 to 10 dogs watching and waiting them to pass over. "Do not you afraid, mom?" I asked the old woman, "that the dogs over there will fight together and hurt your dog?" The old woman laugh and said, "No!" "Where are you going, mom?" I asked her again. "To the central market". "With your dog?" "Yes, why not?'

When the old woman and her dog passing over the place where the gang of dogs get together, about rwo or three of them coming to meet that coming with the old woman, who in turn walk aside avoiding the intruders. So, was also happened when the other -

members of the gang of dogs standing in front of the coming dog trying likely to stop its way. But the old woman's dog smoothly and peacefully passing over them to accompany the old woman to the central market.

When the old woman is busy buying everything she need in the market, her dog is waiting her in the market's yard, playing with other dogs there or trying to get something to be eat. There is no worries at all at the dog's face when meeting a lot people there coming in and out the market.

In the contrary, women or men in the market given no sign at all that they were afraid or being threatened by the present of a lots of dogs in the ways to and from the market.

So, PEACE and HARMONY, the atmosphere that we could find only in Ubud Bali Indonesia.
