English man in Korea.

There's a word "Heung" in Korean.
I can't pick up its meaning exactly, though it is described as fun, pleasure, joy and excitement in dictionary.
You can feel it a little bit after seeing this movie clip.
My friends express it as a heart flutter come near to fun and joyful moment.
In my opinion, not erupted but full in the heart.
Umn. Both of them are similiar in describe.
Anyway, It's good feeling! XD

Recommend you to come Korea!

Guess what this list is!

As you could have guessed, it's the list of recipient of Nobel Peace Prize for 10 years.
Among them behaved unbefitting of a recipient of Nobel Peace Prize.
But I can imagine the endeavor and accomplishment for peace on their subject.
For that reason, we work together for world peace. It can not made just by an expert.

Nobel Peace Prize started from 1901. It's been over 100 years since then.
But there's still pain, conflict and war in this world.
In addition, Adolf Hitler, Iosif V. Stalin, Benito Mussolini who are famous for dictatorship were nominated. Even more familiar example, Chun Doo Hwan, former president of South Korea, who seized power through military coup, also nominated for Nobel Peace Prize.

Don't know the standard, and can't see the fruit of award.
No change between before and after.

It would be the fastest and easiest way of world Peace, the Creator destroy and make the world again.

What is the most precious thing to you?

Suppose you have to leave your home and there's 1 minute left,

You can take just only 1 item.

What will you take?

Even though there's plenty of time left, you might not be able to choose one from.

May, Syrian refugee in Iraq, had brought her bracelet.

But she told the bracelet is not the first, she had wanted to have her doll Nancy back, left on her bed on the night of evacuation.

                                                                              ⓒUNHCR/B.Sokol

Mimi Fowler, an English girl who live in Thailand, saw a story from UNHCR web site.

And she thought of Mimi, and she broken her piggy bank and bought a new doll not used one.

And the Doll was sent from Thailand.

Finally got to Mimi at the camp of Syrian refugee in Iraq.

Refugees from their ordinary life, they might not know how precious the thing and the people they love.

But now, they lose all of that at once, and miss it all.

Strange to say, we all can be refugee.

We have to keep peace in that thought.

And we all can be a peace advocate in our direct life.

Just like Mimi, only 5 years old girl, sent a doll of peace and love by breaking her piggy bank.

Showing a grave. - We ought to remember the sacrifice.

This is kind of embarrassing, Korea has third position in the restaurant in foreign countries. At least Turkey!
The first, Japan, China after, and the last Korea.
Japanese order liquor during a meal, it helps sales.
And Chinese are openhanded so they order a lot.
But Korean drink water at table, besides, they bring their own food for their meal, like Kim chi, smells distinctively.

On a day, waiter made Korean to sit the closest place to food in buffet.
So the guide thought it was unlikely and he asked.
The Turk waiter told this.

The waiter's grandfather is a veteran of the Korean war.
He passed away in the war, and he has buried at UN memorial park.
I have known during his saying, Turkey believe in Muslim.
Muslim faith cannot allow a grave, once it have buried.
He wanted to see his grandfather's grave he asked tourist from Busan, Korea to take a picture of his grandfather's grave.
One tourist had sent a picture, and he thought what can he do to express his gratitude.
So he secured the closest seat for Korea.

Turkey called as a blood brother with Korea.
Turkey sent lots of troop voluntarily in the second place to USA.
Korea have to remember the sacrifice of whom passed away for the freedom and peace in Korea.
Last month, Man hee Lee laid a wreath at UN memorial park on 25th May as they began the 1st Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace.
He was a veteran of the Korean war, and he knows all of the tragedy of war.
He never forget the sacrifice and he achieve world peace aggressively.
So it was on a very tight schedule, he laid flowers at UN memorial park.

We, enjoying freedom through the sacrifice of them, ought to remember their sacrifice and not to leave war for our future generations.

ICD advertise a summit conducted by Man Hee Lee.

Last april, I saw a news of ICD conference in Rome, Italy.
There were 400 people of politician, and religious leaders from all over world.
A few of them made a speech for 30 min' about world peace and the conference lasted 3 hours.
At there, Man hee Lee announced secondly.
He showed a movie clip of Peace Walk hosted by International Peace Youth Group, introduced the meaning of that peace walk and process of peace agreement in Mindanao.
He called upon participants to inherit peaceful heritage to future generations.
So appealing, because of showing the real output!

And I visited ICD website today, I could see him, Man Hee Lee!

There will be a summit for World Peace in Korea.
The topic is as written "Inter-faith Dialogue & International Political Discussion towards World Peace."
As he mentioned so far, religions have take a big part of conflict.
So interfaith dialogue is important to achievement world peace.
Maybe, this kind of thinking,
Everyone might can do. But nobody can make it real. His message is simple and clear.

I look forward to take part in the summit in Korea!
This is the teaser about the summit.

The Great Dictator

Have you seen the film, "The Great Dictator"?

Charlie Chaplin had directed, written, and produced it.

If you want to know about it, click here, 

>> The thing about "The Great Dictator"

I have seen the short movie clip, received from my friend, showing a speech.

I want to share the movie clip.

Here's the text speech.

I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. 
That's not my business.
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.
I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, Gentile, black man, white. 
We all want to help one another.
Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery.
We don't want to hate and despise one another.
In this world there is room for everyone, and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness. hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity.
More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. 
Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.
The airplane and the radio have brought us closer together.
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men; cries out for 
universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all.
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair.
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you; who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men!

You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don't hate! Only the unloved hate; 
the unloved and the unnatural.
Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it is written that the kingdom of God is within man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power. Let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfill that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfill that promise. Let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers! To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness. Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

Did you have touched by this speech? I did.
Let's not fight for useless war for the benefit for some. 
As Man Hee Lee said, who can compensate the life of youth, sacrificed in war?
All of youth on this good earth, don't surrender to one commanding us to go to enter the war.

World Refugee Day.

The United Nations is warning of a massive flood of refugees will be appeared by the radical Iraq Sunni militant group attacked in Iraq.
According to UNHCR, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, about 300 thousand refugees evacuated from Mosul where Islamic State in Iraq (ISIL), also known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) occupied

Antonio Guterres, UN High Commissioner for Refugees, said "If it will be a protracted conflict, I think it will be inevitable to have again a meaningful ouftlow of refugees."

Today is World Refugee Day, 20th June.

Refugee is a person who flees their home country due to a "well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion." defined by UN.

United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights' Article 2: " Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status."
Though this declaration is far from reality, we have to defend this.
Refugee is a person.
Human right is more important than the country's.
We are able to go anywhere if it threatened our dignity and the life from where I have lived.
Everyone could been refugee.
I hope all the refugees treated as a human not a criminal.

Man Hee Lee put white rose on the Palm of Peace.

Man Hee Lee put a white rose on the Palm of Peace, a symbol of peace in the Guatemala National Palace.
It is the first time for the Korean civilian after Ban Ki Moon, UN general secretary.
Ban Ki Moon made that event on 2011.
And the Government of Guatemala gave a letter of appreciation to Mr. Lee, peace advocate.

There were lots of sad stories in Korea.
But his peace movement and the achievement makes me proud of being Korean.

Dream of impossible thing, loving everyone.

When I treat somebody rude, furthermore they're like a colleagues whom I have to meet everyday, I recall the word of Jesus Christs'.
"Love your neighbor as yourself."

Set aside from whom we should define as "neighbor", there may be some people that might say no to this question, "Do I need to love someone who is mad or have hurt me who is in my life?"

Perhaps religious person, at least a christian, who try to keep what Jesus is saying would have hard time saying "no" to this particular saying of "loving your neighbor."

The life of loving everyone and everything, the whole universe...
It's impossible unless he's a god.

However, if most of religions would urge people to love one another,
Buddha in Korean or Chinese word it means he's not a human but a god.
And believers in Taoism dream of ascetic life.

If the ultimate goal of religions are for human beings to have a heart like god and be at peace, no matter what!
If all religions pursue the similar thing, then why in the world, do we have so much conflict caused by religions?

As you see in this article, status said that the rate of religious person takes 84% of the populations in the world.
If they would be the people, who agree one another or really practice what they believe, world peace will speed up so much!

I came up this idea after seeing what's done in Mindanao peace agreement triggered by Man Hee Lee.
He lead the peace agreement with each of Muslim and Catholic leaders by saying just what the God wants and we should be.

Seeing his peace movement, I, dream world peace, decide to understand madman in front of me.
Love will be... after that. XD

Peacemaking soccer player - Didier Drogba

Drogsin.
Do you have any idea of what it is?
The Korean people nicknamed him. Drog is from his name, and sin is god in korean.
For his skillful playing is just like god, korean people call him as a soccer god.

But not only his playing, he is famous for his love for his country and his great achievement.
He said it's not all the thing in the field, I think there's lofty ideal out of ground.
The story is like this.

Cote d'Ivoire produces 40% in world cocoa-producing rate.
Muslim in North part of country insist that christian in south part take all the profits of national cocoa-producing. Northern part rose up against the goverment, consisted a lot from southern part.
From 2002, the civil war continued 5 years.
In that period, Cote D'Ivoire got the entrance for world cup in 2006.
Drogba had an interview.
And he appealed sincerely to stop the war at least 1 week.
And the war stopped as if by magic.
The more is 1 year after in 2007, they, the northern and the southern part of the country had a peace agreement and stopped the war completely.

Though a football game is often used as a metaphor for the competitive struggle, he ended up the conflict by that football game.

Sincere appeal for the peace.
Can make peace.
We have seen this kind thing lately.
Do you remember the Mindanao peace agreement?
Man Hee Lee had a ringing speech in front of the muslim leaders and christian leaders. And Mr. Lee brought them together by signing the peace agreement. Awesome!

So, if we make a sound for peace in our each life, world peace could be more faster!

Aggressive way to mourning.

How does Ramon Poo Gil, the mayor of Veracruz of Mexico, know Mr. Man Hee Lee?

And what makes them award the appreciation letter and medal to him?

The beginning was Nov, 2013. 

Mr. Man Hee Lee took the lead and HWPL(Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light) conducted Peace Walk and Peace Seminar on Tijuana, Mexico.
It was pan-national event.
A lot of youth group and about 1,000 citizen participated.
At that time, citizens were much impressed of the event.
So, Veracruz mayor and one couple urged Mr. Man Hee. Lee coming to Mexico again.
The beginning, so to speak, peace walk.

The same as Tijuana, Busan had a peace walk last sunday, 25th May. 2014.
HWPL conducted it to inform the tragedy of war and don't let the youth be sent to battlefield again.
On that day, about 5,000 people gathered.
I was in the 5,000.
We listen to peace messages from various speakers.
We absorbed in their speeches, and cheered.
It was like a festival.

Mourning who passed away during war may have to express sorrow and keep calm.
Though, to stop the regrettable death may have to take more stronger attitude than just mourning.
Change our mind listening to the message of peace, and take a action for peace.
I think the one who have an experience in peace activities, he will show an enthusiastic attitude.

World peace in itself should be the prize.

This afternoon, there was a huge marching event at UN memorial park of Busan, Korea.

UN memorial park is only one in the world.

At there, the 1st Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace was!

I finally saw the peace advocate, Man hee Lee!

I wonder when did he come back from Mexico.

I wrote he was given a letter of appreciation from Veracruz mayer, just yesterday!

And as far as I concerned, there was much schedule after the award.

He truly move around world just for peace.

If I could go to Mexico, I went sightseeing there. But he just did the peace activities.

I heard his thoughts directly about the award.

I couldn't write down what he said, so it wouldn't  be the same he had spoken exactly.

Receiving awards is not the prize of peace activity.

World peace in itself should be the prize. 

So humble, but I can feel the confidence to world peace from his speech.

The crowd seemed like they felt the same as me, a great cheer went up from the crowd.

A letter of appreciation was presented to Man hee. Lee

20th, May, the letter of appreciation and medal were presented to Man hee, Lee from Ramon  poo gil, the mayor of Veracruz, Mexico.

At the place, there was numerous statesmen, spiritual leaders including religious leaders, and key personnels.
They gave a big hand to Man hee. Lee for granting appreciation letter.

Veracruz is supposed to be a doorway to Mexico.
Historically, when Mexico was attacked by Spain and U.S.A, armies were sailed into the Veracruz harbour.
So, It is noticeable for presenting appreciation letter from Veracruz for world peace.
Now I realize how desperate Mexico is for world peace, seeing that they give the letter of appreciation to not native person, Man hee. Lee.

On this day, Man hee. Lee said,"The genuine peace is not only the cesession of war, but also creating the world as calm and harmonious to live and have society without corruption.
Therefore, for the world peace, we have to keep living delivering the peace messages to all over the world like waves.
There have to be no pain nor sickness in the world, because all are overflowing with the peace and blessing."

I wish the world be just like Man hee. Lee said.

Bangladesh ferry sank, just 1 hour ago.

About 1 hour ago, there's accident in Bangladesh.
Meghna in Munshiganj district, 50km south from Dhaka.
Over loaded ferry sank by storm.

Only 6 retrieved. And nobody know the exact number of person boarded.

I wish Bangladesh goverment catch out the situation ASAP, never happen again like the Korean ferry accident.
It's been 1 month ago, 20 bodies are still missing.

How can we make Inner peace?

I haven't been able to work at all the last couple of days.

The beginning was getting a fishbone stuck in my throat.

I treat that with folk remedy to swallow food. But that didn't work.

My throat is swollen.

I thought of this quote in this picture.

First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace to others, said by Thomas a Kempis.

I think peace is not related body situation. 

Because, peace advocate achieve regardless of their condition.

It is more mental power and belief than feeling that peace is good.

And the belief and willpower is from confidence having the material or matters to execute of accomplishing peace.

Actually, I came out this thought arised from thinking a peace advocate, Man Hee Lee.

He's in his mid 80's. And I saw articles that the schedule of his peace movement was so tight to carry out.

But he made the peace agreement in Mindanao.

Maybe there would be a chance to interview him, I want to ask what makes you so aggressively.

I want to be like him.

Pray for South Korea, Ferry Disaster.

「Tremendously sad being bereaved of child, all of a sudden.
They give us psychological support services and stabilization of livelihood measures
to gain people's trust and heart.
It seems retrieving bodies from the accident area takes second place to show the measures.
There are some bodies still remained.」

It has been 21days from the Sewol Ferry accident.
The accident occured 16th April. 2014.
The total number of people on board was  476. 174 have been rescued, 264 were dead, 38 are still missing. (7th May now)

There were so much time to rescue, but they spend time to have meetings, briefings, and promotion to the nation.
There are some doubtful aspect to the investigation. The head of investigative agency involved in Sewol ferry. It has found that they offer some expedience to the rescued crews. So they got time to have arranged beforehand to tell the same story.
People say this is visible signs of the darkness caused by rapid economic growth  in the korean society.

I spent a few days to sit back and mope.
It seems there are no one to trust. I blamed lack of ability. And we have lots of insane person cheating in this chaotic situation.
I was in dark but I saw these light from world.
High school students in Virginia, U.S.A wear yellow ribbon, means condolences to the passed, on their breast. They have met at no time. It's 11,495km from Jin-do to Virginia. But they say they won't forget them, the death.
Also, on the web, Hash tag on twitter uploaded dozens in a second.
Some university students hold candle light rallies.
Else, light from the world turn on every minutes.

Mindanao Peace Agreement on Ptv.

Ptv is a nation-run broadcasting station.

Peace agreement and peace activities in Mindanao was on the air on 13th Feb.
Here's the video clip on You-tube.





To achieve world peace, the peace advocate Man Hee LEE and NAm Hee Kim
visited the Philippines.
And the peace walk held in General Santos.
Many youths and religious leaders attended the peace walk.
Also, they held a peace forum and discussed how to achieve peace in Mindanao.

At this peace forum, there was a historical ceremony for signing the peace agreement.
Through this, peace will be achieved in religion.
IT seems that through these wonderful events, efforts for ending war and world peace have become stronger worldwide.

Mahatma, great soul, Gandhi.

Strikes, non-cooperation, mass civil disobedience, and spending lots of time in prison.

Perhaps these bring to mind a ganster's personal history to you.
It is Mahatma Gandhi's, called as Great Soul.
Then, What do you think of Gandhi's achievement?
The answer probably be the power of nonviolence.

His nonviolent action was not passive. As cited above, he led a social movement on a large scale.
And his strategy on nonviolent action to British scratched British's moral authority by letting British use violence to unarmed Indian.
For that reason, nonviolence actions must be measured, and the demonstrators are willing to die for their belief.
It is from the creed that a moral principle is the strongest power than any other things.

Gandhi said
"A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of human history."

Not long ago, a peace advocate Man hee Lee, made a peace agreement between Catholic and Islamic groups in Mindanao.
He asked a question to nature in human.
As a believer, will God like the situation of conflict with religion?
His speech pulled down basis of all the reason that they said which had to fight each other.
So, after that, they do not fight for their religious reason any more.
If they fight, it left a blemish in human history.
He ended that 40 years war by delivering a speech, nonviolent action.
But just remember, it's not easy speech in front of the conflictive crowd.

Nonviolence can change world to peace.

School attack in Nigeria.

Assume that you are a girl, studying in the high-school.

At that time, an armed group assaulted without warning into your school.
And you are abducted. In your school!!

This is not a assumption.
It's real thing in Nigeria.
The Islamist militant group, Boko Haram, attacked schools on 15th April.
The families of schoolgirls kidnapped say they are fast losing hope for seeing their daughters again despite government assurances they will be found.

They said they will kill the teachers who teach western education in front of their students, and tell the students to study the Qu'ran.
The leader, Abubakar Shekau, said "Our religion does not permit us to touch small children and women. We don't kill children."
But, for example,  they took off one Muslim girl's all clothes and battered her because she didn't cover her ankles.
What was worse, they kill people in mosque.
I think it's not for their religious conviction.
They just want to create a state in the north, ruled by their rule. not by their god's.

Earth Mother Wangari Maathai.

Wangari Maathai, she planted 7 seedlings in her front yard, and recommend other women to do that.
That is the start of the Green Belt Movement. The movement leads women in country to plant seedlings in their barren land.
The green brought changes in their landscape, people's mind and encouraged people do more peaceful things.

Moreover, She gathered women. There, women studied how to react to their husband being violent,
Ki-moon Ban said that "Her passing is a loss for the people of Kenya and the world. She was a globally recognized champion for human rights and women's empowerment. And she was a pioneer in articulating the links between human rights, poverty, environmental protection and security." in a statement on the UN website.

Wangari Maathai won the Nobel Peace Prize for the sustainable development, democracy and peace.
She showed us the simple and little thing can make a great change over the nation.

Though, she passed away, but her brave, continuous and practicable idea is still inspiring us.

Because it's not in war, I can enjoy the nature.

Seeing the cherry-blossom, a flood of thoughts coursed through my mind.
I really thank God,  I could enjoy the beautiful nature and think of people I love.
The memory will be enshrined in my heart.

And it, all are possible when it's not in war.
There's still a conflict in our world.

I thank the people who work for world peace. They are not take care of themselves. They have sacrificed for world peace. Like Man hee Lee did in Mindanao.

Media can prevent Genocide! - Media have to do the right thing!

Genocide is not happen abruptly.
In Rwanda's case, it started colonization by Belgium .
But the dictatorial goverment made it deeper the gap in the 2 tribes for a long time.

It may be so different from what we expect, media is not take a neutral attitude.
RTLM(Radio Television Libre des Mille Collines) and Kangura paper had changed the way people think, implanted hatred.
They called Tutsi as a "cockroach", and they even made a list to kill.
There might be no genocide in Rwanda, if there's a accurate and balanced report.
Media is double-edged sword.

If you want to more about RTLM, click here.

I was much surprised at a few news in Korea's media about the Mindanao event.
Man Hee Lee is middle of 80's. In spite of his age, he ran into Mindanao in philippines.
And he made a speech about the importance of peace in front of 2 religious groups and university students. And he ended the conflict, which lasted 40 years.
This is no small thing!
Media support that activity by delivering the news to the world wide.
In doing so, the news can make the people who signed the peace agreement keep their promise.
Then, it will guard the life of youth from the war.

Never forget, Never again - Rwanda Genocide

Every 7th April, there is a Commemoration of Rwanda Genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda.
Including the President, people in violet walk to remember.
It's been 20 years from that incident.

Rwanda was ruled by Belgium.
Belgium execute a caste system, and alienate affection between Tutsi and Hutu.
It deepen misunderstanding between them.
After independance from Belgium, dictator, Habyarimana, made it worse for his political power.

If you want to learn more about Rwandan_Genocide, click here.

How do you feel to live with whom killed your family in your town that you were born and grew up?
In that period of genocide, people all had been told to kill their teachers, students, neighbors, your acquaintances. All incidents were ended, they have lived the town, they were lived. Assailants and victims are living in a same town.
And survived people are forced to forgive their enemies.
What can they do more than that?

It would be difficult to forgive the enemy, killed loved ones.
And it's irrational. It's not their fault to be dead or something bad happened.
It was an political invention of domestic and foreign affairs.
I can't make up my mind how to bring peace to Rwanda.

Rwandan meditate on this incident to overcome the sad past and jump up for the new future.
I do wish they have a true peace in their mind.

This is a documentary of Rwanda Genocide.

Don't let them tattoo on her body never more.

I saw this cartoon from this site, http://foxtalk.tistory.com/98


Have you ever heard about "Comforting Women"?
It's not only in Korea, but many other countries in Asia.

If there's not in peace, there's no boundaries to protect you from the evil things.
In war, people are going crazy. So many troubles will be in the war including rape like this.
So, Peace is the best powerful strategy to human be like a decent human being.
Wanting peace is not a word of a weak person.

Therefore Don't say that "I'm not interest in Peace." or "It's on goverment's plate. It's no concern of mine."
But say, "I'll do everything from small beginnings.
Like Mindanao, Youth did a peace walk intended by Man hee Lee, a peace advocate. 
The movement made representatives from each religion, islam and catholic, sign the peace agreement.
Walking is not a big thing, you know.

Sweet dreams! But not dreams in Mindanao any more!

LAST NIGHT I HAD THE STRANGEST DREAM, sang by JOAN BAEZ

This song is written in 1950 by Joan Baez.
I read comments to other version of this song on Youtube.
People said "it's crazy dream." or, " Even though it may never be achieved." and " Though,  it's still nice to dream."

I want to let the lyricist know your song really happend.
And send him or her the article of Mindanao peace agreement by Man hee Lee.

You will know to see the lyric where I am coming from.
This is the lyric of this song.

>>>

Last night I had the strangest dream.
I ever had before.
I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end to war.

I dreamed there was a mighty room.
And the room was filled with man.
And the paper they were all signing said
THEY NEVER FIGHT AGAIN.

And when the paper was all signed and a million copies made.
They all joined hands and circled around, and grateful prayers were made.
And the people on the streets below were dancing round and round
with swords and guns and uniforms were scattered on the ground.

Last night I had the strangest dream.
I ever had before.
I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end to war.

<<<

Ending the endless war is not easy thing.
But it really happened.
In Mindanao, a korean peace advocate Man hee Lee made it real.

Una charla de paz significativo para esta generación.

Todo el mundo dice que les gusta la "paz" , pero la mayoría de las personas mueven la cabeza cuando le pregunto "De todos modos es algo posible conseguir la verdadera paz? " A veces me gustaría que este mundo sea pacífico , pero parece que no hay plan de acción que pienso para mí la paz es sólo un concepto ideal en el lado opuesto de la guerra como la realidad es difícil sobrevivir .

Oneday vi una noticia en Internet sobre Mindanao , Filipinas que había habido una guerra civil durante 40 años y finalmente concluido un acuerdo de paz por el defensor de la paz Man Hee Lee. Fue tan increíble que de repente me he centrado en el fondo para el pacto de paz .

 

Mindanao es la segunda isla más grande de Filipinas, donde 22 millones de personas viven con . En los siglos finales de los 14, el Islam se estableció en Mindanao y los católicos romanos se extendieron en época de la colonia España . Hoy en día la mayoría de Mindanaons practican el Islam , alrededor del 61 % de la población. También hay algunos cristianos (32%) , y los budistas ( 4 % ) y el resto es pertenece a una considerable animista o comunidades paganas.

Sin embargo, tras el estallido de la 2 ª Guerra mundial, muchos agricultores se vieron obligados a emigrar a Mindanao y entraron en conflicto severo por diversa religión con diferentes idiomas. En consecuencia , MNLF ( Frente Moro de Liberación ) se organizó para pedir su independencia contra el gobierno de Filipinas. Debido a la pobreza generalizada y las diferencias religiosas , la isla se ha visto una insurgencia comunista , así como los movimientos separatistas armados Moro .
Desde entonces, una guerra sin fin continúa en la isla , con más de 140 miles de accidentes que se trataba de una de las zonas representativas de conflicto en la región de Asia .

En la isla de guerra donde las muertes frecuentes son en todas partes las cosas, nadie ha imaginado la paz vendría a esta área , incluso de esta manera pacífica. Mundial pacifista presidente Lee fue sede de la Caminata por la Paz en el centro de la ciudad de General Santos , donde cerca de 1.000 participantes, entre ellos estudiantes de la Universidad Estatal de Mindanao , los miembros del Grupo Internacional de la Juventud , y líderes religiosos se unieron al evento , que trasciende los límites de la religión y la nacionalidad de la primera tiempo en esta región . Este movimiento creó una gran sensación y esperanzas entre los filipinos , que anhelan la paz y se inició una ola de paz dentro de las sociedades internacionales , medios de comunicación y personas.

Después de la Caminata por la Paz , los estudiantes de la Universidad de Mindanao Estado , los grupos juveniles , alcaldes , profesores universitarios , líderes católicos y líderes islamicos, que habían participado en la Caminata por la Paz se reunieron en la sala de conferencias de un hotel ubicado en el centro de General Santos . Los discursos sobre el conflicto y la solución para la paz en la isla de Mindanao fueron entregados por el Man hee Lee.
Los representantes de la católico y el Islam se unieron para firmar el acuerdo de paz para poner fin a la guerra y el logro de la paz mundial y se comprometieron a trabajar en conjunto con el hombre , ji Lee.

sin embargo, me siento triste por esta gran noticia no era muy conocido a la gente. Me gustaría unirme al grupo de la paz y convertirse en un reportero para hacerles saber lo que está pasando por la paz en este tiempo presente . La paz no es algo imposible , podría accompolished en nuestra generación !

The war and the Peace agreement on Mindanao.

As you see in this movie clip, the one who can take off the coat from the man was the sun.

The same was in Mindanao.
The one who can end the 40 years war was Man hee Lee.
He didn't use military force to bring peace to Mindanao, but he called leaders of Islam and Catholic and the youth of Mindanao.
And there, he emphasized the peace. The excitement doesn't end there, he took each leader's autograph on the peace agreement.
Military force is not the answer to world peace.
I hope Man hee lee go every troubled region, and bring peace to world.

Hand in hand, that is what Man hee lee did in Mindanao.

It’s easy to raise his voice for the importance of peace and to say to people hold hands

But not easy to act for the peace. And It’s difficult during times of war.

Mindanao, there’s war for the past 40 years. And the fight was between Catholic and Islam.

Is it easy to say to hold hands before the catholic and the Islam of Mindanao?

But Man hee Lee did it!
I wonder what Man hee Lee said to them.
So many famous people have tried to be a mediators between the Islam and the Catholic, but as you know there have been in war up to date.

But Man hee Lee club Catholic leader, Islam leader and youth together, emphasize the necessity of the peace. And they signed together on the peace agreement.

Man hee Lee, I didn’t know about him before, but after the Mindanao peace agreement, I count on his move. And I look forward to see this song to be real.

Imagine, all the people living life in peace.

If you want to watch Yuna Kim's Gala Show, Click here.

Yuna Kim’s last gala song is Imagine, written and performed by John Lennon. The song has a message of peace in the year of 1971, Vietnam war occurred.

Yuna Kim used Avril Lavigne’s cover version.

Avril Lavigne’s that album was for cherish the memory of Darfur genocide.

Avril Lavigne’s voice is similar to Yuna Kim’s.

So It looks like Yuna recorded this song.

It makes me to feel she speaks to us the story, not just dancing to that music.

So many troubles were in the Sochi Olympic. Nevertheless Yuna Kim showed us “World Peace”. And that reason, I thought she deserve the name of “Figure Queen.”

This is the lyric of “Imagine”

>>>

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky

Imagine all the people
Living for today

Ah -

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
No religion too

Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You -

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

Any You -

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one.

A pleasant article : The Harmony of Islam and Catholic in Mindanao.

An endless war finally ended because of one person who arbitrate in a dispute between Catholic and Islam.
My heart was filled with pride at seeing the one is a Korean.
I want to share the story hear.


























































Mindanao island is large enough to Korea. Originally there lived Muslim (who believe in Islam) on that Mindanao.
By goverment policy,  many people who believe in Catholic settled down Mindanao from the north.
In the process of the movement policy, native who believe in Islam were watching themselves being outed.
It led to the war between Islam and Catholic.

The Philippine goverment tried peace agreement so many times, the objectors to the goverment in Mindanao struggled for  a substantive islamic country.

In this article, the korean plays a crucial role in that peace agreement to end the 40 years conflict.

In Korean tv drama named SUBAEKHYANG(수백향), when the king of Baekje got a country named GIMOON "기문", he made an effort to get the country without any war, as no one died in the process of getting the country.
As I see that drama, I came up the Mindanao peace agreement.
I think he is the best man who loves peace, going the length of coming in person in the middle of the war.
It's amazing that his visiting was the substantive background to  peace agreement of Islam and Catholic. 

El fruto del Presidente Man Hee Lee en Mindanao , Filipinas.

Guerra civil incesante durante los últimos 40 años.

Anteriormente no eran en su mayoría musulmanes en la isla de Mindanao con población de 22 millones .
Y la zona es menor que la península de Corea del Sur .

Más tarde, en el período colonial de EE.UU. , multitud de cristianos filipinos emigraron en el Mindanao.
Así que los musulmanes nativos fueron expulsados ​​de su pueblo y se fue a su hábitat natural .

Fue el comienzo de la disputa territorial con el conflicto religión.
Desde entonces, una guerra sin fin continúa en la isla, con más de 170 miles de bajas.

En consecuencia, cuando pensamos en Mindanao , Filipinas ;
Fue una pesadilla con la batalla y la muerte entre el Islam y católico.
Más que a pesar de su hermoso paisaje magnífico natural.

El Acuerdo de Paz Realizado por una organización privada .

Defensor de la paz Man Hee Lee y la delegación visitaron la paz en Mindanao on 24 Jan 2014.
Ellos organizaron la Marcha de la Paz , en el centro de General Santos con 1.000 participantes, entre ellos estudiantes y líderes religiosos .
Trascendiendo los límites de la religión y la nacionalidad , por primera vez en esta región.

En consecuencia , llegaron al acuerdo de paz en la sala de conferencias General Santos Hotel.
Llegó el representante de católico (Fernando Capalla , el ex arzobispo de Davao Mindanao ) , y el representante del Islam ( Esmael , gobernador de Maguindanao , y el distrito autónomo islámico en Mindanao ) y coincidieron en la final de la guerra y el mundo acuerdo de paz.

El acuerdo de paz aceleró el gobierno filipino a aceptar distrito autónomo Islam en Mindanao.
Y el FMLN ( Frente Moro de Liberación Nacional ) se desarmó gradualmente.
Finalmente, poner fin a la guerra civil de larga duración de 40 días.

No era posible, incluso para el presidente de Filipinas.
Intervenir para cesar el fuego en Mindanao como una disputa de larga pendiente.

Cabe destacar que fue promovida por un presidente de la organización privada .
Él era " un coreano " que hizo el mundo bastante sorprendente .

El Presidente Hombre ji Lee fue una vez un veterano de la Guerra de Corea .
Que entiende el dolor y el dolor de la guerra mejor que nadie .
Así que parece que se hizo para trabajar por la paz del mundo constantemente.

El boca a boca de la paz es fácil para todos.

Pero el trabajo y la acción por la paz , en realidad, es tan difícil.
Por otra parte para la paz mundial , así como su nación ' Corea ' .
Bien puede ser el primer explorador .

Esta vez se convirtió en un gran modelo a seguir para la paz mundial. Digno de ser dado una ovación de pie de toda la gente alrededor del mundo.

Yo espero y espero por la noticia maravillosa continua de la paz.
Para dar lugar a la paz mundial para que el pueblo sea dolorosa por la guerra.
Para mí, como Corea , la misma nacionalidad con el presidente del Man hee Lee.
Estoy muy orgullosa de él tanto y doy mi respeto hacia él.
