Remembering "On Peace in the East" for the 60th anniversary of the armistice of Korean War
This is the 60th anniversary of the armistice of Korean War.It was a fratricidal war, which lasted three years, and ended with an armistice that began on July 27, 1953.
It has already been 60years since then.
In the East, 60 years is considered as one generation passing by.
Unfortunately, Korea remains as the only divided country on the earth.
Now peaceful reunification of Korea is no longer just the issue of Korea but it is the issue for East Asia and furthermore, for the world.
The summits of neighboring countries such as Korea and the U.S., U.S. and China, and Korea and China gathering to discuss the issue of Korea proves it.
About 100 years ago, when the concepts of survival of the fittest and expansionism was popular, Ahn Jung-geun, the freedom fighter of Korean addressed "On Peace in East Asia".
His essay "On Peace in East Asia" which was unfinished due to the imprisonment in Ryojun prison is brought to attention again today by the conscious scholars of Korea, China, and Japan.
Ahn was not only a freedom fighter but also a pacifist who truly fought for peace.
He said his reason for assassinating Ito Hirobumi was not for invading Choseon but for ruining the peace in the East.
This statement proves that he fought for peace.
Korea may seem like a place where there never will be peace, but perhaps this creates a situation for a great twist of events where peace is actually accomplished here in the Korean Peninsula.
Why?
Because although it may seem like peace is something that is accomplished by man, actually, it is the work of God carried out within his providence.
We need to realize that peace has already begun on earth and that peace is covered by the culture of heaven.
