Some days ago, I was talking with my friend. He was from another country. To learn Korean he came to Korea, and was talking in Korean. To speak another language is not easy, so to speak in that way, it was very interesting. But he told me another story that made me more interesting. One day when he was talking to a Korean friend, all of a sudden, the topic became ‘Historic’. Because he was from Mongolia, Genghis Khan became the subject. With all the talking about war and the victory that he made, suddenly they were talking about the war in this century. And the words started to start with “What if.” My friend told me that the most interesting question was, “What if we meet in the century of Genghis Khan? Do you think we still could be friends?” Well, because my friend and his friend are friends now, but could have that happened in the past? Frankly I think no. Because of no communication and also the desire to get much more lands, “No” is my answer. There could have been some, but not common. So if we meet even our friends in a different era, the friendship and everything could have been a total different story. How sad to think of it! The people who fought for their countries could have been friends if it was today!
Still the world that we live in has war. But to make a place that we can live in peace is the assignment that we need to solve in this generation. Would you perfer to have many friend around the world, or to fight with them? Let us not repeat the mistakes that our forefathers made. By doing this, we can make a better world. Of course a world that is more closer to peace.
