However, lately I have heard that some among our compatriots would rather have our country be incorporated into a neighboring country''s federation. I cannot believe this; but, if it is true, I can only regard such folks as mentally deranged. I have studied the teachings of Confucius, Buddha, and Jesus, and I sincerely revere these saintly men. At the same time, even if there were a heaven or paradise jointly built by these three men, it would still be a foreign dwelling, a place built not by our own people. Because of this, I would not lead our fellow Koreans into that foreign land. That there are in this world nations composed of the same ethnic people who share the same blood and history is self-evident. Just as my own physical body cannot become that of another, neither can a particular ethnic nation assume the identity of another ethnic nation. Even brothers who share the same blood are in the end an individual of his own who at times clash with each other when living together. In every circumstance in which more than two entities come together to form a larger collective whole, there lies the basic problem of authority, whereby one must stand above the other and exercise authority while the other must follow from below.
