Lessons from Wayang Kulit Performance

1..	On the top, it's a lesson of morality, honesty, truth should win against evil.
2.	One has to choose what to do in accordance with his own belief. Kumbakarna has to choose to fight despite Rahwana's sinful deeds, not to defend his brother but to defend his country. "Right or wrong is my country". Wibisana, he chooses to defend the absolute truth. A sin committed by his own brother - the king, must be condemned. He decides to join Rama, the right side.
3.	It is reflecting events in life. One must work hard decently before attaining his goals. Lust of material wealth should bring disaster to other people and at the end should ruin his own life. Love affaires exist since ancient time. But do not follow the wrong examples, such as the one between Begawan Wisrawa and Sukesi, Rahwana's parents.
4.	Life Purification. A king gives up his own crown, goes to solitude and lives as a Begawan to meditate, purifying his soul to reach a true holiness.
5.	Everyone is longing to live in a just (adil) and prosperous (makmur) society, in the safe, peaceful and secured situation with the blessing of God Almighty.
