South Korea [Publisher Column] Prayer is peace, harmony, and a heart attitude for someone
By UN Journal Lee Jon-young Every day, we pass through a landscape of fierce words and division. Politics puts more weight on blame than responsibility, and those who are called leaders only talk about ‘strategies’ to defeat their opponents rather than the people. In the midst of this, I say, “This is a time when prayer is needed.” However, true prayer is not a monologue to heaven, but a heart attitude for our neighbors, and it should be the starting point of practice to reflect on my thoughts and actions for someone other than myself. Prayer is ‘courage’ for the weak. Even at this moment, som

South Korea [Publisher Column] Today's great heroes...What is true courage?
By UN Journal Lee Jon-young The word ‘hero’ is often misunderstood. It's easy to think of them as someone who wields spectacular force or is cheered by the masses, but in reality, the word comes from the ancient Greek myth of the “half-god, half-man” and refers to people of exceptional courage and determination who acted for the good of humanity. In this regard, we should be able to clearly distinguish between a true hero and an arrogant person in power. True heroes often have the following “prayer of equanimity” as their life motto: "O God, I pray to you. “Oh, God, give me the equanimity to a

South Korea [Publisher Column] The power of communication in all of us
