4. The Homogeneous Korean people

Look at the Korean people. Originally, Korea occupied a broad area of land including the northern parts of China. But today Korea covers only the southern part of the Korean peninsula. Korea seems to be waiting to ask for help. When China struck out at Korea, Korea cried OHelp us." Korea could have perished during its long history. But they have survived for five thousand years holding onto the edge of the Asian continent.

Let's think about this. The land of Korea is created perfectly to welcome ships from foreign countries. When ships from other countries come into the region and tie up, we are happy to see them. What is this land of Korea? I think a peninsula is better than the continent for tying up to. Also, as Korea is divided at the 38th parallel, if we make a levee there, we will not slip back. We will not be slid out of place by a typhoon. I have to think positively like this.

Koreans take great pride in their long history. But look at that history! What can they boast of? They have just lived in humble houses for five thousand years. What were they doing while the Americans and the Russians were making the space shuttle? I would like to hit the Korean ancestors and educate them. What were they doing for five thousand years? They did not accomplish anything.

The Koreans have a special ideology, however. They loved God. This is different. They like spiritual things especially. Because of this, shamans have great influence in Korean society. Koreans are interested in the future. They are grieving about their misfortunes now because they are suffering under miserable conditions. They are depending on luck. They like fortune-telling. What do you think?

Koreans are very tenacious. Do you understand? [Yes] The Koreans have been more enduring than the Jewish people throughout history. If Korea were invaded by Communists, and the Korean people were scattered abroad, what would happen? Koreans believe that although Korea does not have its own ideology to offer to the world now, they will dominate the world in the 25th or 30th century. That is what I think.
