The death of Kim Jong Il and the status of Hope

Kim Jong II according to North Koreans was born on Mount Paekdu in 1942. But some other nations believe that he was born in Siberia in 1941. A controversy regarding the birth itself.

He was declared as the eventual successor when he was only 33. And when his father died in 1994, he became the president.
As a person he was an eloquent speaker, gourmet of food and had an aerophobia. All of this died on December 17, 2011 when he suffered from heart attack while riding a train. He had been a patient of cardiac and cerebrovascular diseases for quite a while. His nation will now be ruled by Kim Jong Un.

While he equipped the nation with nuclear arsenal, he kept his people completely disconnected from outside world. He had a collection of 20,000 films on DVD while his fellow citizens were living one of the hardest lives on the planet. Forget about facebook, twitter, google, youtube and any thing you love in the internet. Yet they are forced to regard him as god.

Now his country plunged into 3 years of mourning, will the nation be moving towards the sunny day or a gloomy one we are yet to see. But his death has already made share markets of the east asia as its victim.

We pray that its the only victim. We pray that the North Koreans will be able to see what the outside world is like for real. We hope that no footballers will ever be forced to work in a coal mine just because they got defeated in the world cup. We hope that the nuclear arsenal gets deactivated and leads an example for rest of the world who now are competing in hoarding the nuclear power. We hope that his death will turn into the birth of new era of the better and safer world. We hope that Kim Jong Un hopes the same.
