Dear all,


Good Friday morning!

Last Sunday evening we helplessly watched in shock our iconic cultural treasure, the Namdaemun Gate in Seoul, collapse in fire on TV.

Next morning all remained silent not because of Monday morning stress but because they were too stupefied by the unexpected incident on our landmark.

Some said, ¡°My heart is burning.¡± Some said, ¡°My heart is aching.¡± Some shed an unstoppable stream of tears. Some threw an empty look into the sky.


The fire didn¡¯t simply burn off the wooden structure of the 610-year-old Namdaemun but it took away intangible pride embedded in Korean souls. Now a throng of mourners from all over the nation form a long queue to offer respectful bows to its remains. In their eyes the gate still stands there boasting of its dignity.

What drove the gaunt old man to set fire to the special construction? He was reportedly very upset about the society per se since everybody, including the President¡¯s Office showed sheer indifference to his complaint in association with the enforced sale of his house initiated by the construction of an apartment complex, not by his own commercial motive.

This incident reminds me of the notorious Oklahoma City bombing of 1995, which claimed 168 lives and left over 800 injured, and the unforgettable Virginia Tech massacre of last year, which claimed 33 lives including the murderer himself. Both incidents took place because both Timothy McVeigh and Seung-Hui Cho were quite mad at the society with or without warrant.

We should try hard to make our society with less social divide or own home divide, which may incur mentally unhealthy people¡¯s wrath, to stem further occurrence of similar social hatred crimes?

This incident will remain in our history for good along with the restored Namdaemun gate.

Have a wonderful weekend, you all!

Hank

[Small Gift]


The Reverend Stevens told of a couple who were celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. The husband was asked what the secret was to his successful marriage. The old gentleman answered with a story below.

His wife, Sarah, was the only girl he ever dated. He grew up in an orphanage and worked hard for everything he had. He never had time to date until Sarah swept him off his feet. Before he knew it she had managed to get him to ask her to marry him.

After they had said their vows on their wedding day, Sarah¡¯s father took the new groom aside and handed him a small gift. He said, ¡°Within this gift is all you really need to know to have a happy marriage.¡±

The nervous young man fumbled with the paper and ribbon until he got the package unwrapped. Within the box lay a large gold watch. With great care he picked it up. Upon close examination he saw etched across the face of the watch a prudent reminder he would see whenever he checked the time of day . . . words that, if heeded, held the secret to a successful marriage.

They were, ¡°Say something nice to Sarah.¡±



[Special Indian Talent]

An old Wild West fort was about to be attacked. The wily old General sent for his trusty Indian scout.

¡°Scout, you must use all your thirty years of skills for me and try to estimate the sort of army we are up against here.¡±

The trusty Indian scout lay down and put his ear to the ground.

¡°Heap large war party,¡± he said, ¡°maybe three hundred braves, four chiefs, two on black stallions, two on white stallions. All have war paint. Many, many guns! A medicine man is also with them.¡±

¡°Good grief!¡± exclaimed the General, ¡°you can tell all of that just by listening to the ground?¡±

¡°NO,¡± replied the Indian. ¡°I can see under the gate.¡±
