If time and traffic permit, we will stop by the headquarters of the Unification Movement in Korea for a brief visit to an interactive exhibition created in honor of Rev. and Mrs. Moon's birthday detailing both the public and private aspects of Rev. Moon's long life of service and his many projects. In addition the exhibition also offers a glance into the parallel history of Korea from the privations of Japanese colonial occupation, the heartbreak of the Korean war and the division of the nation, and the long but steady climb to the top rank of all the nations of the world.
Crown of Glory
A poem written by Sun Myung Moon when he was about 16
When I doubt people, I feel pain.
When I judge people, it is unbearable.
When I hate people, there is no value to my existence.
Yet if I believe, I am deceived.
If I love, I am betrayed.
Suffering and grieving tonight, my head in my hands
Am I wrong?
Yes, I am wrong.
Even though we are deceived, still believe.
Though we are betrayed, still forgive.
Love completely even those who hate you.
Wipe your tears away and welcome with a smile
Those who know nothing but deceit
And those who betray without regret.
Oh Master! The pain of loving!
Look at my hands.
Place your hand on my chest.
My heart is bursting, such agony!
But when I loved those who acted against me
I brought victory.
If you have done the same thing,
I will give you the crown of glory.
