This age has been filled with back to back wars, leaving much of the world in a state of poverty. Everywhere we look, there are new reports of conflict, when will there be an end? When will we be able to hear of peace, a time without war; is peace only a distant dream? What is peace?
When I was young, I heard of peace, but I have yet to know it. When people speak of fighting, their eyes light up with excitement and they speak on the subject endlessly. When they speak of peace, the excitement in their eyes dim, and silence takes the place of their boundless words. I had believed that peace would only be gained once our souls rested in the grave, but there is now a person who has come to this world speaking of peace with such fierce, soulful passion that I no longer feel it is only a dream but is instead a plausible and even attainable reality. This advocate and staunch ally of peace is Mr. Man Hee Lee. He is an activist that has traveled all over the world from nation to nation, from America to Africa, from Korea to Europe, East to West, North to South and everywhere between promoting peace with a success few others have ever come close to achieving.
