If you look it up in the dictionary, it has many meanings indeed.1<\/sup> It means fitting, suitable, just right, similar, identical, in accord, compatible; to agree, tally, jibe, correct, right, precise, exact, fitting, to appeal strongly, to be to one\u2019s taste, suit. The interesting aspect of this word is the way it is used by the Indonesian people in their daily lives.\r\n\r\nBasically, cocok is used instead of good or bad, right or wrong. In other words, an Indonesian person will always tend not to say \u00bbright\u00ab or \u00bbgood,\u00ab but to use the word \u00bbcocok\u00ab (suitable) because of the deep belief that something that is good for one person at a particular time can very well be bad for another, and something that is right in a certain culture or tradition can be considered wrong in another place. The word suggests avoiding the dualistic juxtaposition between right or wrong, good or bad, rational and irrational, because on a macrocosmic level, everything has its place.\r\n\r\nFrom a more spiritual and cosmological point of view, the use and choice of the word cocok, while not conscious, is part of a different level of awareness where we learn and practice avoiding judgments, not so much because judging is wrong or bad in itself, but more because \u00bbhow do I know?\u00ab And indeed we know little about the reasons, the motivations, the causes that are behind a certain way of being, acting, feeling, or thinking of someone. We don\u2019t know, because we see very little of the full picture.\r\n\r\nTo sum it up and put it simply, we may say that this word can apply to almost anything: a food can be cocok or not, so could a hat, a place, a weather, a color, a person, an opinion, an idea, a plan, a house, a husband, or a wife. To develop a higher and heightened awareness, cocok is indeed a precious word, and it would be good to use it as often as possible as an alternative to right and wrong. Using it gets us beyond only and always thinking and behaving according to our concepts and judgments separate\r\n\r\nfrom the other, and rather learning and practicing being open to the idea that, as an old Javanese saying goes, \u00bbThat which is good is not necessarily right; that which is right is not necessarily true; that which is true is not necessarily appropriate; that which is appropriate is not necessarily real.\u00ab\r\n\r\nA word like this could help bring us toward peace, tolerance, acceptance, and yes, cocok would be very cocok in these times of conflict and confusion."},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_footnotes","acfe_flexible_layout_title":"Fu\u00dfnoten","bgcolor":"","footnotes_list_hide_numbers":false,"footnotes":[{"footnote":"Cocok<\/em> (1) similar, identical, in accord, compatible; to agree, tally, jibe.
