"Just say waton, nanging ngomonga nganggo waton."

Don 't talk, but talk to a benchmark or a clear reason. The phrase is an invocation not to speak. Each of these questions has a clear basis or reason to be held accountable.

Usually, this proverb is used to remind anyone who often speaks ill of others and spreads false or hoax news. In javanese culture, there are thousands of proverbs that remain silent and give special colors to the dynamics of the society to this day.

The book was deliberately written as an attempt to recap the javanese proverb, whose existence was able to penetrate space and time until the XXI century. When listened to, the strength of the message value contained in traditional proverbs is still very relevant as the basis for attitudes and behavior in the digital age.

Good reading!
