We can live only by becoming one. We cannot live in this divided situation, and even though we are alive, we are not living. The South must trust the North and the North must trust the South. And on the faith let us stand up together. The earlier we stand up, the better.
Reunification is revolution.
It is a new revolution, not just a people's revolution nor just a social one it is a larger and deeper and newer revolution. In a separate piece, Ham reminds us that reunification is ultimately up to Koreans and they may be mistaken in relying too much on the foreign powers that have caused or benefited from the division of the peninsula. Awakening to one's mission is the strongest motive force for regeneration. Let Koreans awake to their world mission if they want to clear themselves of the ignominy of a defeated nation. The reunification process, though long in preparation, is suddenly zooming ahead, catching almost everyone off balance.
