Peace education : Learning Revolution!

What kind of education are you under?

  You cannot help but be affected by the world around you. But people are unaware of it. Things that you are thinking now are not yours. If you are born in other country or to other parents, you are the same? Nope. You can’t chooseBut you can choose now! Not blame for! Just let’s talk together. Choice requires responsibility. In fact, my heart was heavy. Sometimes I am angry at my sense of powerlessness. But if you know more about our education, you can have the power! Watch this Ted video. Ken Robinson : “Bring on the learning revolution!” Why? I want to say about ‘Peace education‘.

Peace education : Abraham Lincoln

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Peace education : Learning Revolution! Peace education Ken Robinson disenthrall Abraham Lincoln   Why peace? Ken Robinson told a anecdote of Abraham Lincoln. in December 1862, he cry out “disenthrall” at the second annual meeting of Congress. January 1, 1863  he issued the Emancipation Proclamation that frees all slaves. They count down together. The revolution brought many changes. That’s what I want to say ‘Peace education’. Lincoln followed peace. So, it is powerful and it can be achieved. If we really want a learning revolution, we need peace education. It can teach ‘Love‘ and can ‘wake‘ you up. Peace is up to you. Please, don’t conform to your routine.

“As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country. –Abraham Lincoln

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

Dead White helmet : Peace is the path

Executed 7 Dead White helmet

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Dead White helmet : Peace is the path White helmet Peace Nobel Peace Prize candidates Mahatma Gandhi HWPL DPCW Alliance of Religions   It is really a shocking news. I have had an eye on Nobel Peace Prize candidates because I have a lot of interest in peace. What news? 7 members of ‘White Helmet‘ were killed by unidentified armed men. I don’t know how many. They were shot in the head. Do you know what it means? “Execution” What kind of crime? The international community is angry. It is even more because 7 members are private volunteers who worked tirelessly to save lives in an extraordinarily dangerous environment. We should make it as an opportunity7 Dead White helmet is not dead.

War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace. – Thomas Mann

What is their will?

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Dead White helmet : Peace is the path White helmet Peace Nobel Peace Prize candidates Mahatma Gandhi HWPL DPCW Alliance of Religions

The best way to commemorate their deaths is to follow their will. It is unnecessary to talk many things. If we don’t do anything, we should be more angry. So, what is their will? White helmet is made up of Tailor, bakers, carpenters, electricians and other over 3,000 people. Their goal is to save anyone hurt. They claim to advocate moderation. Eventually, what they most wanted is peace. “A world free from wars” Anton Chekhov saidWe shall find peace. We shall hear the angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds’  I didn’t want their death to be in vain. Dead White helmets must be alive in our heart.


How we can do it?

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Dead White helmet : Peace is the path White helmet Peace Nobel Peace Prize candidates Mahatma Gandhi HWPL DPCW Alliance of Religions   We already know that war settles nothing and to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one.(Agatha Christie) Actions are necessary now, not words. We should really achieve peace. I want to recommend ‘HWPL‘. “Groundbreaking and substantive” solutions of HWPL is impressive. The chairman of HWPL said “We have the answer to achieve Peace” HWPL‘s SOLUTIONS are  ‘International Law for Peace and Cessation of War‘ and ‘Alliance of Religions‘.

National Liberation Day [Korea] : Meaning

After 72 years : How are you?

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE National Liberation Day [Korea] : Meaning 광복 true independence Socrates National Liberation Day of Korea It's not my fault Gwangbokjeol   In 1945, Korea gained independence. It is called by ‘National Liberation Day’. Independence is a moving word. I know it after I saw many movies. But it is a brief amount of time. I settle into a routine again and again. My concern is how I could earn a living, how to go out and how to know what I want to do. It may be too small pricks. I can say “The past is past and the today is today. We have new problems on our plate. Our lives are tough too.” I know it. And I know it too. Actually they don’t want to blame to us. Sometimes I want to explain myself. I want to say “It’s not my fault.” I know it. But we must move forward.


What should we do?


광복 : Restoration of Light

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE National Liberation Day [Korea] : Meaning 광복 true independence Socrates National Liberation Day of Korea It's not my fault Gwangbokjeol   National Liberation Day of Korea is called ‘Gwangbokjeol, 광복절’. 광복‘ means ‘Restoration of Light’. What it means? Why is this? ‘Liberation’ and ‘Restoration of Light’ mean same? You can think it is a little bit abstract. Restoration means “In the past, all dark” I read an article. It’s really nice. So I scrap it. To commemorate Independence Day is to truly realize and know what independence means in real life. With this, it is possible to start a true independence for the future. A world without discrimination – righteousness and justice exist and breathe – this is the place where everyone needs to strive together to achieve, and truly become the owners of independence.This evening I’m more sentimental.

The unexamined life is not worth living. – Socrates

World Alliance of Religions : We Are One!

Fire! : WARP office came in a heartbeat

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE World Alliance of Religions : We Are One! World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Office World Alliance of Religions HWPL     Red light glitters in the mountain.“Fire!” There was a fire in a temple. An electrical short caused the fire. Ceiling and Buddha were covered with soot. There were no casualties but was in need of repair. But this temple was deep in the mountain. Even though they have different religions, members of WARP office were running in a heartbeat. WARP is a World Alliance of Religions Peace. They repair wiring and hang new wallpapers together.

There is no path to peacePeace is the path. – Mahatma Gandhi

World Alliance of Religions

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE World Alliance of Religions : We Are One! World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) Office World Alliance of Religions HWPL     The Buddhist monk(63) said “When I meet HWPL members at first, I feel they have really beautiful mind.” And he became a member of HWPL. He said “I think they do really good things that they work to ally all religions for peace. So I think I should help.” Do you know World Alliance of Religions’ Peace (WARP) OfficeIm particularly interested in ‘Religion alliance’. So I have heard the WARP office. Those HWPL members belong to WARP office. Amazing thing is an innovative approach to Religious Dialogue. They teach each religion. They are resolving misunderstandings that caused a prejudice. Prejudice brings ruthless. We Are One! (more info)

I think this is true peace. – Buddhist monk(63)

Peace studies : ‘United Nations and the Art of Peace’

I’m studying Peace

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Peace studies : 'United Nations and the Art of Peace' United Nations and the Art of Peace   What was your major in college? Me? I majored in ‘peace’. …? Department of Peace? Is there such a thing? To be exact, It’s name is the department of ‘United Nations and the art of peace’. UNITAR(The United Nations Institute for Training and Research), WFUNA(World Federation of United Nations Associations) and Kyunghee University  worked together to develop this master´s degree. “Fostering experts and hands-on workers in the field of Peace studies” is why it was created. Oh Joon, Ambassador to the U.N, is appointed by a full-time professor.

If man does find the solution for world peace it will be the most revolutionary reversal of his record we have ever known. – George C. Marshall

Why Peace studies?

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Peace studies : 'United Nations and the Art of Peace' United Nations and the Art of Peace   Civil war and terrorism were surging since 2000. 500,000 people were killed every year. One day? 1,300! It is estimated that 90 % of the casualties caused by war is the civilian. Almost all of them are women and children. Longing for peace is more growing in the nervous international community. So World’s leading universities offer the course of peace studies. This is why. Actually it is very hard to achieve peace. Because it can’t achieve by one man. It is a problem of culture and level of consciousness. I guess Spinoza want to say something to you. “Peace is not the absence of war, but a virtue based on strength of character.” It is hard but we can do it! United Nations and the art of peace!

do not want the peace which passeth understanding, want the understanding which bringeth peace. – HelenKeller

As I see it, it want to make ‘new culture’. “Youth can do it! Not only just do, but also do very well!” There are many lethargic young man who lose their will. They think “What can I do? It is nothing.” I was like that at one time. But now, this is no time to keep still. There are many young people our age in all over the world. What do they think? It may be different. Can you hear?

It is a 2017 color of the year.   Greenery bursts forth in 2017 to provide us with the hope we collectively yearn for amid a complex social and political landscape, Greenery symbolizes the reconnection we seek with nature, one another and a larger purpose.” Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone’s color consulting arm, said.

Paul Potts hope : Why He’s Different

‘Paul Potts’ sings Nessun Dorma

Who is ‘Paul Potts hope’?

In 2007, he won the Britain’s Got Talent with Nessun Dorma. He have many key words. A cell phone salesman, shabby appearance, Poverty and bullying,  car accidenttumor surgery and opera singerThe situation  is difficult, but he hasn’t given up hope yet. Scraping a living, he forget the reality with singing. A lot of people are moved by his songs. Even if someone say the same thing, Impression depends on who he isThat’s why people are teary. I want to say it “Paul Potts hope”

Why ‘Nessun Dorma’?

  It is an aria from the final act of Giacomo Puccini‘s opera TurandotIt is sung by Calaf who falls in love at first sight with the beautiful but cold Princess Turandot. Calaf exclaim victory! with death threats to achieve ‘love’. In the aria, Calaf expresses his triumphant assurance that he will win the princess. Hes full of himself. Likewise, Paul Potts has a dream. That’s why he sing this song.(my guess) He cry out “vincerò!!!“. And then, he was triumphant. 


He take a courage! How much time did he spend to worry?


Italian version

 

Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o, Principessa,
nella tua fredda stanza,
guardi le stelle
che tremano d’amore
e di speranza.
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me,
il nome mio nessun saprà!
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò
quando la luce splenderà!
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio
che ti fa mia!
(Il nome suo nessun saprà!…
e noi dovrem, ahime, morir!)
Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
All’alba vincerò!
vincerò, vincerò!


English versionA STEP TOWARDS PEACE Paul Potts hope : Why He's Different vincerò Turandot Paul Potts hope Nessun Dorma Giacomo Puccini Calaf Britain's Got Talent

Nobody shall sleep!…
Nobody shall sleep!
Even you, oh Princess,
in your cold room,
watch the stars,
that tremble with love and with hope.
But my secret is hidden within me,
my name no one shall know…
No!…No!…
On your mouth, I will tell it when the light shines.
And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!…
(No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.)
Vanish, o night!
Set, stars! Set, stars!
At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!


I’ve just always sung – just always sung. My voice has always been my best friend. – Paul Potts
