In honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the founder of CARP, Rev. Sun Myung Moon, CARP hosted a writing contest for students to submit what inspires them about Father Moon’s legacy. Here is the second place entry:
Rev. Moon lived a life of deep suffering; he lost many of his loved ones, was separated from his family due to the Korean War, and was misunderstood by many people. However, in all the pictures I’ve seen of him, he always has the biggest and happiest smile. Sometimes, I think that it is impossible to let go of my judgments and overcome the challenges I face, but Rev. Moon has shown me that I can and is capable of loving others and living a true fulfilled life.
