It will be difficult to unite the people's hearts as long as both countries are compelled to sever relations because of their historical and political background. Because of these feelings I have concerning this issue, I have made the unification of North and South Korea my goal and repeatedly visited both countries and talked to their leaders in order to be a bridge to peace. I have been invited to each country as a guest of state and had heartfelt discussions with them. Because of the fact that the misunderstandings and tensions are definitely being resolved through genial exchanges, I am confident that the situation will most certainly progress toward harmony if both parties open their hearts to each other and meet each other face to face. The fact is that one of the major reasons that we do not have world peace is because the existence of this power has been concealed for many centuries.
L earning the truth is the first step toward the light.
Behind the scenes of the stage of international politics, I have seen for myself many times how greatly the truth is distorted by the immense power of the mass media. As a result, I fully realize the importance of learning the truth. Now is the time for each person to cultivate an eye for discerning the truth in international affairs, and to rise to fulfill our mission as children of the Creator. I believe that having as many people as possible rid themselves of prejudice and ego and nurture in their hearts a love that is gentle like the sun, will bring true harmony to this world. It will not do to have things as they are now.
