Our citizens will lose their confidence or trust in the values and principles of the international community, especially if our personal identity is denied.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If once you forfeit the confidence of your fellow-citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem.
Often we lose our identity trying to please or placate others.
Nothing prevents us from being and remaining the exponents of a united humanity, when we have a country of our own. To fulfill this mission we do not have to remain literally planted among the nations who hate and despise us.
Strengthening our identity is one way of reinforcing people's confidence and sense of citizenship and well-being.
We must never lose our individuality.
Our trust in the future has lost its innocence. We know now that anything can happen from one minute to the next. Politics, religion, economics, and the institutions of family and community all have become abruptly unsure.
Our democratic system, national identity, and international space must be respected. Any forms of suppression will harm the stability of cross-strait relations.
The United Nations' greatest fear is that average Americans will no longer tolerate these international scandals and demand that America withdraw from the international organization.
What is true of the individual will be tomorrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope.
We will not fail your expectations of us as a new nation dedicated to peace, democracy, and freedom.
