God, at the present time, is looking to the young people and pinning his hopes on them. In this way, God is trying to accomplish the world he desires by erecting us in the middle of this complicated world. For us, that is, we young folks in this world today, there is no way to avoid this path. (15-81)

I too, don't like becoming one of the "old" bunch. But I'm not really one of the old set. I don't like old folks. I like young folks. Even today I still like young people. Of course, that doesn't mean you should get too happy about that.

These days we call the junior and senior high school students of the Unification Church "Songhwa students." Songhwa. Do you know the meaning of the word, "Songhwa"? It means "accomplish and harmonize." Then what do we call it when someone raises an uproar, or when something is extremely urgent and pressing? We also call that "song-hwa." If we write these two words in Hangul, the spelling is just the same. The pronunciation is the same, too. But the meaning, of course, is different.

You here have to become the troublemakers of the Republic of Korea. You have to become the nuisances of your villages and neighborhoods. And can you comfortably witness at school? \Haven't you seen someone who says, "I'll just grab a whole lot of my friends, and bring them over and convert them on the spot!" Usually, you ask, "Just give it a try...take a moment to listen," as if you are asking a favor, right? So if that isn't going well, why don't you just grab someone by the throat and give it a shot that way? I mean in a good way, of course, not in a bad way. (25-102)

I like troublemakers. You youngsters here are troublemakers. If you go to a village, you are that village's troublemakers. At the same time as you are troublemakers of Satan's world, you are troublemakers of God's world. That's why you make a start at one point, and bring in the fruits at one point. The meanings found in Hangul are remarkable.

Someone who goes to church is a Yesu-ggun ("a Jesus-er"). Someone who goes and attends the temple is a Jol-ggun ("a temple-er"). So what kind of "ggun" are you folks here? You are song-hwa-ggun (troublemaker-ers). Have you ever thought of yourselves as troublemakers?

From this point of view, when the parents in this society say to their children, "Study hard. Listen to what you are told. You have to become a good example to your friends," isn't that what being a troublemaker is? If the parents say to their children "You rascal! If you don't study you'll flunk out and be a rotten student, so study, by George, you'd better study!" this is also a kind of trouble and annoyance. And if, as soon as they come home, the son or daughter takes some special thing his or her parent has lovingly prepared for them out into the street, and passes it out to other kids thinking, "These other kids could really use this," that too is a kind of troublemaking. And, what if the parents should prepare some special thing for ten years or so, investing their heart into it just for their child, and straight away the child also picks this up and hands it out to other kids. This also makes trouble, right?

There are two kinds of trouble. One of them is the trouble that leads to destruction, and one of them is the one that leads to good fortune. One of them gives away blessings, and one of them sends away blessings. One gathers, gains and builds things up. One destroys, demolishes and breaks things down. (25-103)

From now on, you Songhwa students have to have the conviction that you will become the standard bearer who can bring vindication against the enemy and bring liberation to God starting from your own flesh and bone, your own body. God will entrust his work to the person who can have a conviction deeper and stronger than the conviction God Himself has maintained in his battle for 6,000 years, even if the person cannot fulfill the whole Will. (47-80)

If I am lonely, I have to bring the students around me over to my side. So you have to be able to bring your school to surrender and shout, "Mansei! I got the victory. I won." Whenever you look in the mirror, you have to say to yourself, "Hey, Mac! Are you still sticking to the path you began when you took up God's Will?"

You can't let yourselves disgrace the name Songhwa. When you can't do anything further under your own steam, and you can't bear the weight anymore, and you finally say "God, please help me," only then will you become a truly independent person.
