An illustration by Joas Adiprasetya
In a voyage, a man fell into the sea. Unfortunately, that poor man cannot swim so he yell for help. Luckily, some people in the ship are willing to help him. However, each of those persons has a different background:
The first person is a moralist. He take a book "how to swim" and throw it near that drowning person. Then he yell: read that book and follow the guidance, you will survive!
The second person is an idealist. He believes in the motto "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime". He believe that he should be a facilitator and give the example. Then he jump to sea near that drowning man and say: look at the way I swim, do as I do and you will survive.
The third person is an institutional. He see that and yell: help is on the way. We will make a rescue team and we will discuss the best approach to save you. Hang in there, you will survive.
The fourth person is a positive thinker. He shout: my super friend, your situation is not as bad as you think it is. Just think about the dry land and you will get what you are thinking.
The fifth person is a revivalist. He see the drown man, he know that salvation of soul is more important. So he ask: my friend, do you believe that you will go to heaven after you die if you believes in Jesus. That drowning man is already in the water with only his hand waving for help. The revivalist see the raising hand and say: thank you jesus, that man raise his hand as a sign he believe in you.
the last person is a realist. He jump to the sea and help that drowning person,
