영감
[yeon-kam]
靈感
Etymology
靈 (영) [yeon] – spirit, soul, deity感 (감) [kam] – feeling
We are now on the eve of an era of great change, when we must rid ourselves of the heavy legacy of immorality, environmental problems, and crime that have tainted the history of the 20th century in order to live the 21st century with hope. Humanity longs to see a world free of conflict, war and suffering. But it is very difficult to maintain hope if the future is clouded by the idea that money is everything.
The progress of science can contribute to the creation of such conditions of life in society that will allow a person to achieve the heights of well-being, but can only this satisfy the desires hidden in the depths of our soul?
Information technology, economic development, political success – all this is not enough for the fullness of human happiness, not enough to create true families and establish universal peace on Earth.
If you give more importance to the physical aspect, the spiritual aspect will be diminished. The emphasis should be not only on the increase of material wealth. More important is spiritual growth, which also contributes to the economic revival of society.
Today many people feel very unhappy. Without seeing a clear goal in front of them, they cannot achieve happiness in life either within themselves, or in the family, or in the country, or in the world.
Being a source of conflict-free and happiness, the ideal world is feasible only on the basis of high spirituality. First of all, we need to unite not externally, but internally, spiritually.
Neither happiness nor peace is possible without the participation of the shimjeong (heart). Thanks to the heart, over time, the standard of living of people will be able to even out. High technologies and scientific materials will be involved in education, however, priority will be given not to knowledge and technologies, but to spiritual education, education of the heart.
