Everybody loves his or her own hometown, but you shouldnOt damage your nation because of it. You especially shouldnOt be involved with arguments between local areas. You should give up your feeling of separating the nation according to areas, such as Chun-Ra Do or Kyung-San Do. You should be able to sacrifice your area for the development of the nation to support the unification of South and North. The government should be able to give up prejudices and have a policy for a balanced development. You may not be able to solve local conflicts, but you can ease the bad feelings. You have to go back to your own hometown, show the falsity of Communism by your love and sacrifice and create a unification movement to unite the people. We shouldnOt let the left-wing power utilize local conflicts to separate the nation. We shouldnOt give Communists a chance for infiltration. (Jan. 7 1988) When you go back to your hometown, you should reverse all of the relationships. Because it is difficult presently to unite people who are separated according to an area, we should reverse everything in basic order to unite them. Because of the previous presidential election, the conflicts among local areas got worse and the problem is now serious. Kyun-Gi Do, Chun-Ra Do and Choong-Chun Do are all separated, and we canOt overcome North Korea in the general election unless we cure this problem. Today, the angelic world and the spiritual world can come down to Earth to support you, and they can get rid of the obstacles in your way, so trust them and unite the divided people. People who oppose you they will retreat only if you mobilize the spirits of your ancestors. If South Korea is united, it will win over North Korea in the general election. When South Korea is united, we will send to North Korea the people who were kicked out by Kim Il Sung's Communists and those whose families were executed by those Communists. (Jan. 1, 1988) The nation should sacrifice in order to protect its sovereignty. Since North Korea is targeting South Korea, South Korea must protect its sovereignty even if it has to sacrifice the entire nation. It is the normal thing to do. When a united Korea goes on to the world, it should become a nation that can represent the traditional ideology to sacrifice the nation for the sake of the world. If Korea can do so, even if it looses the physical nation and sovereignty, this national ideology will remain to lead the world, even to the 30th century. You should know that. (56-273) When we look at South Korea today, we can assess the future development of this nation by how much interest the mountain farmers have for their leader. People should have interests in either their leader or the policy. It is the decisive point for whether this nation will be prosperous or perish. (42-111) Well, Korea is separated into South and North. You shouldnOt think, OSo what. It's fine with me. Let's not think about it." South Korean people should have the attitude to invest more effort than the North Korean people. (71-94) Our nations should unite, regardless of their position. Grandparents and young people are all included. We should have one common purpose. North Korea has almost double the population and a stronger military force. They are digging tunnels and living on barley meals. Do we have to eat barley? What do we fear when we have much better conditions? (78-81) Korea, today, is going through labor pains in shifting to a democratic stance. Free democracy is the political structure with which Korea will be developed. For that purpose, the ruling and opposing parties should be united through understanding and dialogue. Furthermore, they have to prepare the way for Korea to be a part of world history. If Korea can overcome today's situation, it will have a hopeful future. For that reason, all religious groups and people should not be onlookers, but should take a subjective position and encourage people and put forth their efforts to establish a democratic structure. (Oct. 21, 1986)
