A Philosophical Principle Fully Elucidated

Date: 20/02/2020 | Source: Rodong Sinmun (En) | Read original version at source

In July 1988 Chairman Kim Jong Il met an official and talked with him about a work to do. He then said that great ideas were not founded in a big country alone, that although a country was small in area its guiding ideas were great when its leader and guide were great and that this was a truth and a law.

The official was moved to the heart. Looking at him Kim Jong Il said that great ideas were said to hold sway over the world without arms and went on to affirm that the great Juche idea of President Kim Il Sung and our Party was really a torch which illuminates the world, a lever which moves the earth and an engine which advances history.

He emphasized that when its leader was great even a small country became a powerhouse of ideas and a great political country and that in this sense ours could be called an ideological powerhouse and a great political country.

The official was deeply convinced of the philosophical principle that the position of a country was determined by the high prestige of its leader and the greatness of his ideas, not by the size of its territory and the number of its population.
