Profound questions at the crossroads of life and death

At the crossroads of life and death

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Profound questions at the crossroads of life and death religions Protestantism Muslim lung cancer Irreligion Hinduism George Bernard Shaw crossroads of life and death Catholicism Buddhism Beware of false knowledge Atheism   “It would be better to live long~ But this year, our old man is dead. I should be dead~” One grandmother, terminally ill with lung cancer(Stage 4) said. I’m a medical student. Since doctors stood at the crossroads of life and death, It seems to think more about ‘death‘. Anyone, who are sentenced to death by disease, has no choice but to sob deeply. Frankly, the death is difficult to deal well with for whoever. When I stay at patient’s room, I can see all kinds of religions, Buddhism, Catholicism, Protestantism, Hinduism, Muslim, Atheism, Irreligion. They are so in fear of death. But I’m helpless. I can’t help them. I only can prolong their life for a few year. Everything is because of ‘Ignorance‘.

Beware of false knowledge

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Profound questions at the crossroads of life and death religions Protestantism Muslim lung cancer Irreligion Hinduism George Bernard Shaw crossroads of life and death Catholicism Buddhism Beware of false knowledge Atheism     The reason we are enveloped by fear for death is ‘Ignorance‘. Not only we didn’t know death well, but also we didn’t really think about it. You can think “What can I do if everything I believed is wrong?” or you want to believe you’re right. But you must keep in mind “Beware of false knowledge. It is more dangerous than ignorance.“, George Bernard Shaw said. If you know exactly, the truth shall make you free. (John 8:32) You can feel relieved. In the Christian world now, everyone knew that ‘If people die, immediately they live in heaven or hell forever.’ Have you ever have a question? If so, what should our ancestors who died before the spread of the Christian faith do? It is so unfair. Is it God unfair? Nope. Maybe, I’m wrong.

Peace education : Blooming Flowers of Cessation of War in Fiji

What a beautiful peace day!

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Peace education : Blooming Flowers of Cessation of War in Fiji What a peace day WARP Summit 2017 UN ECOSOC UN DPI Spreading a culture of peace Peace education Melanesia HWPL Fiji DPCW   In Fiji, the hibiscus is blooming at children’s hands. The hibiscus is the national flower of Fiji. Fiji is an island country in Melanesia. Fiji’s main attractions to tourists are white sandy beaches and aesthetically pleasing islands with all-year-round tropical weather. In peace education, children of Fiji stick flowers on the picture of the tank which symbolize war and conflict. Why? They wished for achieving peace in the world. Children don’t know nothing. They know it clearly. Maybe they know it better than us, adults. “Peace is good and war is bad.” Very simple. Maybe, we don’t need other things, social, economic and political issues, complex and chronic problems. We must keep our children’s heart.

  I think peace is having tolerance, respect and love each other. By loving each other and respecting each other we can find how we can stop fighting in the classroom too.– Salemba, one of the students.

Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), an international NGO under the UN ECOSOC and UN DPI, held a peace event “Blooming Flowers of Cessation of War in Fiji” on October 24th at Yat Sen primary school of Suva in Fiji. This lesson really helps children and students understand each other.  All of these things is from DPCW, which is an international law to cease the war. Article 10 of DPCW is “Spread a Culture of Peace” Recognizing the global threats posed by nuclear, HWPL International Law Peace Committee suggested the DCPW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War) on March 14, 2016.

This was a step forward to create peace enviroment among students. Teachers, we, have to use positive ways to create or maintain peace environment in the classroom. I think peace activities hosted by HWPL like today is beneficial for students. We need to give them reminding every now and then.” – Mrs. Chandra, a teacher of Yat sen primary school

Where does our garbage go?

Our Environment

It is a Korean environment advertisement. It is a parody of Star Wars, “I am your father”. This ad, created by the Ministry of Environment, was awarded two gold medals in Korea`s top three Advertising Festival. Have you ever been thought about the environment? I did a survey to my friends. When you think of environment, what first comes to your mind? 70% of my friends think of garbage can.  In my case, loads of trash catch my eye. I’m not the kind of person who takes care of our environment. I take this opportunity to find out ‘the journey of garbage‘.

The future will either be green or not at all.” – Bob Brown

How cold it is! It’s so freezing! At dawn, They work hard. If we don’t throw in the garbage, they have to pick up one by one. If workers forgot to pick up, neighboring residents file a civil complaint. They are not full-time civil servants. It was very sorrowful. It breaks my heart. Where does our garbage go? Garbage is carried to a waste disposal site. Who is coming here, in the morning? Mothers should separate the garbage hand by hand. That’s a lot of hard work of the people. I am so grateful. If we understand these people more, we can be happier.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead

If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, we shall become a company of giants

Hard work, says the Scottish proverb, never killed a man. People die of boredom and disease. There is nothing like an occasional all-night push to enliven morale – provided you are part of the push. Never leave the bridge in a storm.

Set yourself to becoming the best-informed person in the agency on the account to which you are assigned. If, for example, it is a gasoline account, read books on oil geology and the production of petroleum products. Read the trade journals in the field. Spend Saturday mornings in service stations, talking to motorists. Visit your client’s refineries and research laboratories. At the end of your first year, you will know more about the oil business than your boss, and be ready to succeed him. Most

How to write well : Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE How to write well : Ernest Hemingway Study the greats Iceberg Theory How to write well Ernest Hemingway 'The Old Man and the Sea'   Who is Ernest Hemingway? He is famous for manly style. We already know ‘The Old Man and the Sea’, his most popular work. So he earned him a Pulitzer Prize in 1953, and in 1954 Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for Literature “for his mastery of the art of narrative”. Hemingway called his style the Iceberg Theory: the facts float above water. The supporting structure and symbolism operate out of sight. Hemingway believed the writer could describe one thing though an entirely different thing occurs below the surface. More surprisingly, About 70 percent of the sentences are childlike simple sentences. He made no pretence.

All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.” – Hemingway

How to write well

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE How to write well : Ernest Hemingway Study the greats Iceberg Theory How to write well Ernest Hemingway 'The Old Man and the Sea'     In the spring of 1934, Arnold Samuelson who is feeling discouraged over his writing go to find his mentor, Ernest Hemingway. He was impressed by the 22-year-old’s seriousness and dedication. In a 1935 article for Esquire magazine, Hemingway shared some of this advice.

1. “Always stop when you’re going good”

“How much should you write in a day?” Hemingway answered.

“The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day when you are writing a novel you will never be stuck. That is the most valuable thing I can tell you so try to remember it.”

2. “Block out negative thoughts”

How can writers stop themselves from worrying about whether they can maintain the creativity?

Once you are into the novel it is as cowardly to worry about whether you can go on to the next day as to worry about having to go into inevitable action. You have to go on. So there is no sense to worry… As soon as you start to think about it stop it. Think about something else. You have to learn that to write a novel. The hard part about a novel is to finish it.

3. “Study the greats”

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE How to write well : Ernest Hemingway Study the greats Iceberg Theory How to write well Ernest Hemingway 'The Old Man and the Sea'   Hemingway gave Samuelson a long list of books to read and told.

[A writer] should have read everything so that he knows what he has to beat… The only people for a serious writer to compete with are the dead that he knows are good. It is like a miler running against the clock rather than simply trying to beat whoever is in the race with him. Unless he runs against time he will never know what he is capable of attaining.

4. “Sharpen your observational skills’

I think you already have heard many times. He said “Watch what happens today.” If we get into a fish see exact it is that everyone does. If you get a kick out of it while he is jumping remember back until you see exactly what the action was that gave you that emotion. Whether it was the rising of the line from the water and the way it tightened like a fiddle string until drops started from it, or the way he smashed and threw water when he jumped.

…Then write it down making it clear so the reader will see it too and have the same feeling you had. Thatʼs a five finger exercise.

5. “Practice empathy”

He said, “Then get in somebody elseʼs head for a change. If I bawl you out try to figure out what Iʼm thinking about as well as how you feel about it. If Carlos curses Juan think what both their sides of it are. Donʼt just think who is right…As a man you know who is right and who is wrong… As a writer you should not judge. You should understand…Listen now. When people talk listen completely. Donʼt be thinking what youʼre going to say. Most people never listen.

Write the best story that you can and write it as straight as you can.” –Hemingway

DPCW Article 9 Religion, ethnic identity and peace

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE DPCW Article 9 – Religion, ethnic identity and peace WARP Summit 2017 Religion Peace ethnic identity DPCW Article 9 DPCW     1. States should engage in multilateral consultations to deal with situations where differences attributable to religion or ethnicity pose a threat to peace so that necessary remedial action may be taken and to identify the root causes of a situation causing tension between different religious or ethnic groups, in order to adopt necessary measures to promote mutual understanding between the groups concerned.

2. States should take measures to ensure that religious belief or ethnic identity are not utilised as a pretext for gross and systematic acts of violence. In circumstances where individuals or groups perpetrate or assist in such acts in the name of their religion, states should take adequate measures that lead to the prosecution and punishment of such activities.

3. Recognising the threat to peaceful coexistence that violent religious extremism may cause, states should implement, in good faith, legal measures against individuals or groups attempting to perpetrate or assist in gross and systematic acts of violence in the name of religion. Such measures should, in extreme cases, include the proscription of faith groups – including sects or cults – that perpetrate acts of violence against the territorial integrity and political independence of any state.

The very work that we are pursuing is the work of healing of nations. Once implemented, this Law will be engraved in the hearts of many people to have a peaceful life. Chairman Lee

Letters to Me #9 : Happy and Grateful

Thanks for letting me able to work

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Letters to Me #9 : Happy and Grateful Martin Luther King Jr. Happy and Grateful   It is a problem of my mind. If you are working for a company, you can think like this. ‘What’s the reason why I do this?’ Am I happy? Sometimes I am confused about my mind. When doing so well, I’m so happy and grateful to everything. But if things go wrong, I don’t know what I had on my mind. I want to do better and better. Confidence is getting lower and I become lethargic. In fact, I should be grateful to doing work. And thanks for letting me able to work. But I don’t know.  I’m so confused. I don’t understand what go wrong.

Work happily

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Letters to Me #9 : Happy and Grateful Martin Luther King Jr. Happy and Grateful   I think It depends on ‘what I am’. You can be confused if you don’t know who you are. Can you know about your mood right now? It is hard. It seems that  So MBSR(Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program) and meditation caught on. Who are you? Can you say it clearly? It is very hard. It is related with happiness and gratefulness. It’s like center pendulum in your mind.  Deep waters run still no matter how many times waves are hitting. It don’t fluctuate between hopes and fears.

If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.
