People care less about others than they seem to. People take care of themselves. In the end, they become experts of their own thoughts and emotions, and of faking sympathy for others.

The older you become, the more responsibilities you will have. And there will come a certain point where you are feeling hurt or confused. That is when people need each other, which is a huge part of the drive of our community.

As I lay alone afflicted in Bukgwan
One morning a doctor examined me

Suddenly he asked of my hometown
It’s called Pyungan-do Jungju

The doctor smiled softly
Without a word he took my wrist and felt my pulse
The touch of his hand was warm and soft
My hometown and my father and my father’s friend were all there

Obsession, that I should be on intimate terms with every single person, always bothers me. I am sometimes afraid of myself, being full of desire to be loved by everyone. I should keep this old saying in my mind; He who never makes any enemies, never makes any friends. No one can have a rapport with everyone!
