I was pleased to see a picture of the President of South Korea shake hands with the sister of the leader of North Korea, TODAY. Based upon facial expressions, the greeting between the two appeared to be genuine and heartfelt.
The 2018 Olympic event serves as a backdrop to this exchange. The two Korea's have come together to participate in this peaceful world activity.
We all know just how misleading pictures can be. As of late, there have been pictures of just how wonderful life in North Korea is. NBC did a piece about a new North Korean sky resort that most labeled as being somewhat staged. And of course we have ALL seen pictures of President Trump and former President Obama shaking hands and laughing it up during the exchange of power transition last year LOL. Most, based upon the events of the preceding year would have to assume it TOO was STAGED.
But the point I want to make here, is that in spite of how dire the circumstances may be ... people can come together if they want to and stage a handshake with a smile. Even staged, it's movement in the right direction.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" (Chapter 64 of the Tao Te Ching ascribed to Laozi)
If the Koreans and the United States truly want a reasonable resolution to their differences, they can come together and make it happen without pushing any RED buttons.
I mean like STAGE IT.
