For Father Magnis-Suseno

Who is Ahok? Who is X? And Y? How do you determine them?

I am reminded of Groucho Marx. When someone asked the comedian to explain his identity, he replied, 'I don't have a photograph, but you can have my footprints. They're upstairs in my socks.'

An answer made in jest, but also one that can give more profound meaning. Identity is not tied to a photo on an identity card. Identity is born from the history of long journeys.
