1. After entering college and realizing the absurdity of society, I had a lot of discussions with my father for several years. It was quite violent and often upsetting because it was a head-on conflict with the social concept of my father, who was a soldier, and in retrospect, these times seemed to have helped both my father and I greatly grow.

One day, my father said, "As I talked to you a lot, I think I have become the person who understands the thoughts of young people the most among my peers." I also came to understand my father's generation quite a bit, and I realized early on that it is best to continue talking with mutual trust and courtesy rather than avoiding or suppressing them because they think differently.

2. Although I was not a student activist, I was appointed as the executive of the student council due to my relationship with a senior I met during my night school activities at the orphanage, and I was selected as the head of the "tuition struggle," which was the most important issue at the time. Although negotiations were conducted with the school for quite a long time, they achieved satisfactory results quietly and reasonably compared to many schools that suffered from violent labor over similar issues at the time.

This is because they negotiated politely, pointing out differences in each other's thoughts, situations, and conditions, rather than unconditional distrust of the older generation. Professors also said, "It's good because you can hear and understand when you talk." Sports rights. Non-exercise rights. Getting along with professors and school staff was also helpful.

3. In the early days of Facebook, I mainly talked about art, books, and travel, but since Ferry Sewol, I have been more interested in social issues and have raised opinions on sensitive topics. I can't be all right, but I believe that I can better understand other people's stories and grow through discussions.

I believe this belief was formed by time with my father and my relationship with my family and close people. Even if we disagree on political issues, we share our opinions, saying, "Well, it's unexpected," and know how to stop at an appropriate level. Even though they all look different in their lives, there are no friends who force or criticize each other excessively. Not long ago, when I said that my life was peaceful, it means that I am living in these people, not financially relaxed or in a position.  

4. People no longer want to mention or talk about social issues on Facebook. This is because the way we discuss discourse and treat people with different thoughts are too emotional, extreme, rude, or violent. There are many people who do not seem to have any idea how to listen to and understand various opinions, organize their opinions, and add depth, and many do not have that patience. I am concerned about the self-biased of young people these days, but I think I learned it from my parents' generation.

After getting tired of this, adults in a society gradually avoid stories that need to be discussed and discussed, and after only personal history or jokes, they feel funny for a while but gradually move away or leave. In the end, what's left is a story of eating and playing, or a group of people (not bad). The social ecosystem where various discourses and information come and go is destroyed, and from what I have realized, there is no progress and conservatism in this behavior. If you look at Facebook, you can see society.

5. I'm not a big villain, but I don't know the world because I believe in free and open dialogue and growth through it without easily hating or shoving others, but I'm still writing this because I want to believe it. My father was conservative on the outside, but I think he was the most progressive person.
