Leader Kim Jong Il said.
“It is life that is most valuable to a man. In this regard, his socio-political integrity is more valuable than his physical life, and the integrity of a social community is more precious than an individual’s integrity.”
Man has socio-political life along with physical life. Physical life is the life of man as a biological organism, whereas the socio-political life is the life of man as a social being.
Revolutionaries sacrifice their one and only physical life in order to keep their socio-political life. That is because the socio-political life is the most precious life that enables the people to lead a dignified life as masters of the world and their destiny.
The socio-political life is the most valuable life for the people, first because the socio-political life is the life that enables the people to lead a life befitting human as masters of the world and their destiny.
Man, a social being should be combined to be a socio-political organism to have socio-political life. Only then, can he become masters of the society and shape their destiny independently.
If one wastes time while idling without awareness of the society and politics, he cannot be said to lead a life befitting man. Of course physical life is precious for man. However, if he satisfies the demand of physical life, he is as same as the dead socio-politically though he is physically alive.
The socio-political life is the most precious, next because the socio-political life is the life that will be immortal along with the social community.
Man’s physical life is limited. The socio-political life that is granted by the society and the collective and added lustre to in the struggle for the society and collective is immortal along with the socio-political community which he belongs to. The fact that the socio-political life is immortal finds its clear expression in the fact that names and souls of the people who made devotion to the society and the collective will remain for ever in the memory of the party and the leader, the fatherland and the people and be glorified through generations. The intrinsic demand of man who is desirous of being immortal can be realized only when he acquires the socio-political life and adds lustre to it.
