Declaration of World Peace, a ticket to the new era

There has been many different proclamation or declaration in the history of mankind. For example, the Declaration of Independence by the forefathers of United States, Emancipation Proclamation by Abraham Lincoln or the Proclamation of Korean Independence. Although each has a different message based on its various environment, these declaration or proclamation shares one purpose: the start of something new. In the same manner, the Declaration of World Peace was proclaimed in front of the Peace Gate in South Korea, in a same manner. The speaker of this declaration was Chairman Man Hee Lee, the Korean War veteran, who has been hoping for a peace in his country and in the world for decades. This declaration of May 25, 2015 included the unprecedented vision proposed by HWPL and the Chairman regarding peace.

"The Heavens and the Earth formed by the hands of the Creator have been given to humanity as an inheritance. In all the universe, life in its vast splendor exists only on our world. The life that grows on the earth is sustained from above - by light, by the rain, and by the air they provide unconditionally to all living beings. We have received the precious gift of life from above, let us give glory to heaven, and live in peace on earth. This is the truest teaching of heaven. With this eternal gift - the grace and life we have received - are we entitled to fight, kill and destroy one another?"

The first few sentences of the Declaration makes a powerful statement on the corrupted usage of the world by the mankind for the past millenniums, which was originally a gift and a privilege given to mankind by the heaven. We have been blessed with such providence from the nature, yet we use these for power struggle and to harm one another in any manner either violent or non-violent. Do we change the gift that we have received from someone into a weapon to harm others? These statements and questions are simple, nevertheless questions the basis of our morality.
