"人類が戦争という醜い争いをして命を奪い合ってきたのは、人々が戦争という言葉に操られていたからなのかもしれない。人々が何かの言葉に操られていないと生きていくことができないのならば、平和という言葉に操られて、世界中の人々がそれぞれの幸せの中で生きていくことのできる世界になることを願いたい。 It may be that people have been manipulated by the word of war that what the wars have done to all humanity by taking their lives with ugly fighting. If people cannot live without being manipulated by the some kinds of words, then they should be manipulated by the word of Peace. I wish that the world will be a place where the people in the world live in their own happiness."
