- 2. Lack of compassion
Why killing people isn't right? You can easily answer to this
question if you can imagine how you would feel if you were
the side to be killed. Nobody wants to be killed. If you can't
understand this simple reason, you must have self-centeredunderstand this simple reason, you must have self-centered
mind such as arrogance, attachment and greed. In other
words, you must lack compassion to others. If so, it can be
said as spiritual corruption or moral ethic's crisis caused by
too much materialism.

- 3. Hope is vital!
Our future isn't guaranteed, so we need 'hope' for our survival.
Hope means 'happiness'. So, the purpose of life is to be happy.
If we lose hope, our life will be shortened. Hope is the same as
optimism, vision and positive motivation. And what we need
to have hopes are compassion, warm-heart and gentleness. Into have hopes are compassion, warm-heart and gentleness. In
order to cultivate these reason (human value, inner value), we
need to experience infinite affection in our childhood first.
That's because we can't love ourselves and others without the
experience of infinite affection. Especially, affection and
physical touch from our mothers are inevitable. Therefore, our
mothers play an infinite role for us.

- 4. Conviction of Interdependence
& Effects of compassion
For those who unfortunately couldn't experience infinite affection in
their childhood, there are other solutions. I recommend them to practice
compassion once and check its effect. Then they will feel comfortable
immediately after their action and receive good reaction from others.
And they will be convinced the effects of compassion through theAnd they will be convinced the effects of compassion through the
experience. Other method is to notice that human beings can't be self-
sufficient to survive alone. If they deeply recognize that we are
interdependent and our survival and future entirely depend on others,
they will be convinced that we have to cooperate with others for
survival and we have to practice compassion to others for cooperation.
Then their compassion will arise automatically and bring them 'hope'.

- 5. Moral ethics crisis
'Material value' such as money, power, status and fame have
been considered as the top priority and 'spiritual value' such
as compassion, warm-heart and gentleness have been
ignored. Therefore, moral ethics crisis has been scattered allignored. Therefore, moral ethics crisis has been scattered all
over the world. For example, the cause of terrorism, global
financial crisis, EU's debt crisis and global environmental
issues is our self-centered mind such as greed and arrogance.
These problems were caused by too much competition and
individualism through too extreme capitalism. We have to
solve these problems as soon as possible.
