"That is why we stand. Our conscience is with us, and the truth moves with us. Regardless of age or gender, we will run out of the dark, old house to be revived with joy and new life with everyone in the world. The spirits of our ancestors from thousands of years ago will be inside us to help us and the energy of the whole world will protect us. The initiative is what is a success. However, we move vigorously toward the bright light that is in front of us."
