Before Kim Jong Un took power, people were protesting the government. These days they fear him, while proclaiming "‘What has he done for us?". According to Tao Te Ching, verse 17, Kim Jong Un is more capable than his father:
With the greatest leader above them,
people barely know one exists.
Next comes one whom they love and praise.
Next comes one whom they fear. <-- Kim Jong Un
Next comes one whom they despise and defy. <-- His father
With the greatest leader above them,
people barely know one exists.
Next comes one whom they love and praise.
Next comes one whom they fear. <-- Kim Jong Un
Next comes one whom they despise and defy. <-- His father
When a leader trusts no one,
no one trusts him.
The great leader speaks little.
He never speaks carelessly.
He works without self-interest
and leaves no trace.
When all is finished, the people say
“We did it ourselves.” <-- North Korean people
