Before Wolmyeongdong was developed, the land in Wolmyeongdong was treated like a rice paddy, treated like a field,
treated like a straw-thatched house, treated like a stream, treated like a small spring, and treated like firewood collecting trails.

Now that it is developed, former things have disappeared without a trace
and no one treats it like a field or a rice paddy [anymore].

Now that it is developed, the land in Wolmyeongdong is treated like a sports field, treated like a pond, treated like landscaping, treated like a pavilion, and treated like a garden of flowers.

People’s brains, thoughts, and lives are like that also if they are developed and their levels are raised.

From the message on October 23, 2013

월명동을 개발하기 전까지는 월명동 땅은 논 취급받고, 밭 취급받고,

초가집 취급받고, 개울 취급받고, 옹달샘 취급받고, 나뭇길 취급을 받았다.

개발하니 이전 것은 흔적도 없이 사라져

누구라도 논이나 밭으로 취급하는 자가 없다.

개발하니 월명동 땅은 운동장 취급받고, 호수 취급받고, 조경 취급받고,

정자 취급받고, 꽃동산 취급받는다.

사람의 뇌도, 생각도, 인생도 개발하고 차원을 높이면 그러하다.
