Man Hee Lee peace advocate_brave and his leadership

Peace is good. If we listen to Beatle’s music, we become warm hearted and begin to think about peace. By the way, what is peace? My father was a soldier during the Korean War. He frequently drank alcohol and sadly often wept. It made me sad to see by father in this state. I was not a victim of the war but the destructive and deteriorating panorama of the War has been replayed on the television during special occasions such as Veteran's Day or Memorial Day. Wars remind us of death. Since childhood, not only me, but most Koreans grew up in this kind of atmosphere.

 But surprisingly, an international peace advocate has appeared in Korea. I have been following his activities.  He is brave and his leadership is very excellent. In him there is wisdom springing out. His name is Mr. Man Hee Lee.
 Mr. Man Hee Lee visited several hospitals and spent some time with the patients. Interaction between Mr. Man Hee Lee and the patients went beyond nation, race and religion.
And then he visited the prime minister’s hometown. The people held a festival which was held exclusively for the prime minister. For 2 weeks, they had practiced and prepared for this festival. All the people were delighted and danced together. It reminded me of a bird which is included in their national flag.
Many peace advocates argued and acted in the past. Some were even imprisoned. But they could not carry it out completely.
Mr. Man Hee Lee is over 80years old but has made tour around the earth 8 times. Isn’t it surprising?
Surely there is something special in him that has the ability to move the people's hearts.

World Peace

World Peace.  What comes to mind when you see these two words?
I asked a few people if they believed world peace was possible, and the majority of them just laughed.  It's something that everyone wants, but at the same time, it seems to be so far from the reality.  Whenever I turn on the TV or surf the web these days, I'm blown away by how many people...in hundreds, even thousands are killed everyday.  Most of these deaths are a result of religious and political differences.  There have been so many people throughout the course of history who have made countless efforts to bring peace.  But the sad reality is that the situation in our world today is only getting worse and worse.  Is it just me....or does our world seem to be getting more crazy and violent as time passes?  People seem to have lost their sense of morals.  Killing people.........has become an ordinary thing for some groups.  What happened?  And more importantly, it frightens me to think about what kind of world our future generations are going to live in.

Recently, a friend told me about a peace advocate from South Korea named Man Hee Lee.  Honestly, I didn't really think much about it when she first mentioned Mr. Lee.  There have been so many peace advocates in the world today.  "What makes him so special?", I thought.  Well, I was amazed. He has traveled around the world, I believe, 8 times already proclaiming the message of putting an end to all wars and asking religious and political leaders to sign an agreement for World Peace.  What's more shocking is the fact that he is in his mid 80s!  He's the same age as my grandmother.  Nevertheless, he has been traveling and meeting with presidents, prime ministers, religious leaders around the world.  Many people have talked about world peace, dreamed of world peace and maybe did some small activities to promote world peace. But Mr. Man Hee Lee seems to have this special aura and light that gives people confidence that he truly can make world peace into a reality.  It would be such an honor to have a chance to meet Mr. Man Hee Lee.  I would like to personally offer my gratitude to him for doing the work he does.  Thank you Mr. Man Hee Lee.

What is Peace? _ Man Hee Lee Peace advocate _

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.

Through nonstop peace seminars and through international media outlets millions have heard his message – from the layman to the elite – and nearly all who have heard have been given a since of hope; for once peace may just have a chance. I have dreamt of peace, but without an end to war peace could never become reality. I thought war would always be a part of our future, but if there were to be someone that could shine the light of peace throughout the world – it would be our duty to meet this person and rally behind them. To everyone who desires peace, Mr. Man Hee Lee  has become our beacon; he has become the light shining through the strife of the world. Where he has planted the seed of peace, it is up to us to nurture and follow through to see it fully bloom. Peace on Earth – World peace – finally a road has been laid, we only have to drive it.

“PEACE"

When you hear the word "PEACE" what comes into your mind first? When I hear the word "peace" I was young and had no idea.  I was blank.  From that time, I started to think about the state of our country, Korea.  "The only divided country in the world"  All of the people around the world want PEACE including me.  There's no person who never wants peace.
Many religious leaders, political leaders and famous people want peace and have been trying to have a better world by achieving peace.  Even so many Nobel prizes for peace have been given to many people who have been considered that they contributed to peace.  However, we still have wars, disputes and troubles in the world.  I was wondering why is that?..I couldn't find the answer.  But coincidently last spring I saw an event in Seoul, Korea.  There were so many people around the world and they held placards that say "we want peace!".  I have never seen and heard of such a big event.  They were ready for 'WORLD PEACE WALK".  So I got curious and decided to watch a bit more.  And an old Korean man came up onto the stage and gave them a speech.  I was also listening to him among people.  He was Man-hee Lee, the peace activist.

He was saying..

"There's nobody that hates peace.  Everyone wants peace to be fulfilled as soon as possible.  However we can not achieve peace by saying that we should achieve peace and do something...."

He was achieving PEACE in the most essential way.  I got very impressed and thought he must be the one who can make a peaceful world practically.  Even though he was old he was so enthusiastic. I got inspired by his powerful speech.  I thought I wanted to be the part of them and do something for peace.  I'm sure "The more people like Man hee Lee peace advocate and the followers gather the sooner PEACE will come."
