(French Version) In the May 2023 Budo International Grandmaster Taejoon Lee writes about “How Good People Do Evil”.
“When you have been slapped by God, it is clearly then that you need to reflect about your life and change your course, as that is surely merciful compared to the coming lightning bolt to strike you dead. Even with the humblest knuckle push-ups as discipline, it is then that you need to think deeply about what you are doing and how you’re going to better improve your situation, your condition. If you focus on not being slapped or not doing push-ups, then that is all you’ll end up doing because you haven’t learned the lesson. The slap, the push-ups is a result of your actions and without understanding the cause of your actions, you will never fix it.”

(Italian Version) In the May 2023 Budo International Grandmaster Taejoon Lee writes about “How Good People Do Evil”.
“It's the same in fighting and sparring. You only do forms, you only do the movements, then you are learning only superficially. You have no understanding of what those movements are used for, why they are done the way it is done. You have no understanding, no depth of knowledge. Once you start putting that into application, what happens? You get hurt. It doesn't work. You fail. You suffer. You endure pain. You endure embarrassment, shame. And then when you go through all that, this is what a stupid person does. They put it into application, they lose. They’re losing, again and again. They’re getting beat up, but being so afraid not to get beat up, their only focus is on avoiding it. So, they just do the same thing over and over again, so they continue losing, continue getting beaten up.”

In the May 2023 Budo International Grandmaster Taejoon Lee writes about “How Good People Do Evil”.
“What makes you introspective? What makes you look deep within yourself? What? It’s hardship, tragedy, pain, suffering, depression, loneliness, all these things that you don't like and don’t want. Those are the things that make you understand about your life, who you are, pondering on the existential dilemma, and this is what builds foundation.”

(Spanish Version) In the May 2023 Budo International Grandmaster Taejoon Lee writes about “How Good People Do Evil”.
“Fear leads to a vicious downward spiral of self-destruction that sinks one deeper into the dark abyss, blurring the line which already is a thin veil of good and evil. A perfectly good person can be led to do wrong and unconsciously commit unimaginable acts of evil without ever knowing it purely for the sake of conformity and avoidance of conflict. It is so that good people will learn to rise, stand, and fight, if need be, for what is right even if it brings harm and suffering to the self for it is this virtue of selflessness and service to others that we practice Hwa Rang Do.”

(German Version) How to Achieve” P.4 Grandmaster Taejoon Lee shares how a student of martial arts can get the most out of their training in the April 2023 Issue of Budo International.
“In order to learn you must listen, and in order to listen you must focus and pay attention, and in order to pay attention you must have the desire to learn, which requires humility. Humility is in fact the ultimate goal or rather the final achievement as a martial artist, realizing that the acquisition of true power and strength lie in letting go of the desire to be the best but rather stive to being at your best knowing that there always will be someone better than you, that perfection cannot be achieved yet we must perfectly strive to be perfect, that we cannot achieve godhood but strive to be godly.”
