Letters to Me : Self reflection #6


The unexamined life is not worth living.  – Socrates


I got scold by the professor

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Letters to Me : Self reflection #6 The unexamined life is not worth living Socrates Self reflection Confucius   was sitting peacefully at a desk at the time. But the professor shouted at me. “Who is that! You! You! Submit a letter of apology!” I was bitter. Why should I get scold? What did I do wrong? I thought  about it long and hard. The professor stood at the lectern and gave his lecture. The professor said, “The unexamined life is not worth living. A terrible group didn’t reflect themselves. A terrible group has many power in a terrible society. Do not overuse your power! We have to reflect and fix it.” It is about self reflection.

Self reflection : I was moved

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Letters to Me : Self reflection #6 The unexamined life is not worth living Socrates Self reflection Confucius   Actually, I have criticized that terrible group who didn’t reflect. However, today, I realized something important. Neither do I. Do I reflect? Nope. I didn’t want to admit it. I didn’t want to say my fault. What’s different between they and I? Now I understand what Socrates said. What a cool person? What a wonderful world that would be! The shouting of professor brought me back to reality. I want to get scold more. Then I can do self reflection. It’s up to me. Good luck!

When we see men of worth, we should think of equaling them; when we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves. -Confucius

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

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.
