Quote: Chairman Man Hee Lee

"Could there be a person, who hates peace? Everyone says that they love peace. But, just because one shouts, "Peace, peace" repeatedly thousand times, it does not mean peace will be fulfilled."

What kind of voices were there in the history of mankind that wished for peace? Many people from variety of religions and ethnicity preached over peace and worked to achieve peace. And the society agrees that peace is necessary for the well-being of their family and community. But, out of those who agree peace, who actually works for peace? Do we see people working for peace in their given time? Although it is important, it is also ignored equally as well. In some way it is similar to diamond-water paradox in Economics. Although water is essential to life, its value is lower than diamond, which is not an necessity to our life. In a similar way, peace is essential to the survival of mankind, but it is taken for granted just as water in its paradox.
