Christmas Eve. The adults drink and converse upstairs, while the children baffle me with their intelligence and innocence downstairs. How did these children learn of Korean customs by age 6?
We are born in innocence, and struggle to find it all of our lives until old age. Notice how the young and the old are the most docile, and the most inspirational. These two age groups teach us simple truths we will never forget, along with those simple "one-liners" that discipline us into better people, gently.

We're trying to meet the standards of China and Japan. Now we're trying to work our hardest and redistribute our wealth.
