Hi, Taehyung-ah 🤗🤗🤗 How are you? I hope that things are going well for you. You must have missed Tannie a lot. I hope things are going well for him and for you. I hope you can see him. I hope your family can visit you there and bring Tannie, too. I really wish some fans can visit you and bring you some stuff to strengthen you and increase your mor*ale. I know it's prohibited, but I think it's also wrong to keep you and the other trainees too isolated and disconnected. I now live in a place that has a very good mountain view, and I think I get more connected with God as I imagine how He created everything and how Mighty He is. It's generally peaceful, too (though two of my neighbors - hackers-stalkers - and the people below - dunno who they are - keep playing loud pranks and keep laughing, too, I wonder if it's intentional, but the timing is indeed saying something). But really, when I see the beauty of the mountain, the birds, and the natural resources, I feel it's good to protect one's nation. For a very long time, I've only seen gossiping hackers-stalkers and status-seeking flies, who don't even care about the concept of "nation" and actually laugh about it. They're the ones who exploit others as a means of living, so I can't expect anything desirable and sincere from them. If war breaks out, for sure, they'll sell others. That's the kind of people I've seen in this corrupt place, and I know that's the same in other parts of this corrupt country. There's a reason why foreigners are looking down on us. It's full of people who can't stand on their own and whose standard is just that of a gossip community or fraternity. I wonder if they just don't have talents in the first place so there's nothing they can hone to excel, in comparison to their common narrative saying this country just doesn't have the system and infrastructure to nurture talent and use it well. When I look at the military below, I really wonder what they're fighting for. Is it for these people? Or, is it for themselves? The husband of my best friend's aunt was a former military, but he quit it to become a real estate agent, dealing condos, subdivisions, and resorts. They've been earning well. Other smart people here move to other countries, and I think that's not just about money anymore, but what they're willing to use their talents for. There's a different kind of fulfillment when you can do excellent work in the society that desires it. I don't think we have a "nation" here. We're still very much tribal, each to their own gossip community. If there's ever a nation, it might be some kind of fraternity network instead, who's so coordinated they think they own the nation. I wouldn't want to die for this crime-laden country. It's not worth it. Whenever I see a police officer or a military, I think first about the crimes they might be involved in, rather than them keeping me and the surrounding safe. Those police officer neighbors just proved that. They've been harassing me on a daily basis, even shouting threats and mockery toward me, as I mention how they're paid by our taxes, and since they're not doing their job - for they have a different purpose, they're stealing, just like these hackers-stalkers. Imagine what these kinds of disgusting people do when you give them access to important things? That's when they corrupt whatever is assigned to them. The Bible requires the best outcome. What we now think is "talent" is actually referred to as "wisdom" in the Bible, which requires both knowledge of how to do something and knowledge of its purpose. That's why Israel got the best soldiers before. Even now, Israel's security intelligence is considered the best, but I think only the insiders know that. I've been monitoring them ever since I got access to the internet. They got a purpose to excel, after all. They got a nation that's harassed by all other nations, and it can only stand on its own. I'm happy that South Korea has been the American dream and enjoying a positive prestige for a long time. It's worth protecting, and I bet most Koreans will say they're proud of being Korean. There are a lot of things that need to be reformed there, but I can see you're trying to reform it. In many poor countries, the dominant group chooses harassment and violence as its default answer to everything as it's instantly effective. But that harassment doesn't hold long, too. Violence, like other instant tricks, ends abruptly (not unless the place itself is coded with violence, like Muslim states, so those who aim for progress are out of place and out of sync). It corrupts the place and eventually destroys it. So, don't lose hope, Taehyung-ah. Keep improving. Find a place where you nurture hope, faith, and passion. I hope you're still fond of meditation or contemplation. I hope you still think of good and positive things. I always pray for you, and may you pray to God, too. He's the Author of all good things. "You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I will give you. And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you..." - Exodus 25:21-22. Keep wishing for the good things. Keep finding ways to do things better, and you'll always stay among the tops. God will replace the bad with the good, and we can have the good things to love and live for. Don't be blinded by anything else. I love you so much, Taehyung-ah. I, and so many of your fans and ARMYs, love you so much. May you never stop believing in that. May you always be assured of our love and support for you and know that when it comes to us, you don’t have to do anything unlike you. May you always find the best in you, or the best way to express your ingenuity in every situation, and be happy and proud. There will always be so many among us who can see how amazing you are each time. I hope you’ll cut the things, people, and situations that make you sad and obscured. Don’t be sorry for being yourself. Always remember you are always loved. Borahae, Saranghae, Taehyung-ah.
