My brothers and sisters, this time I want to tell the historical story of a leader who was able to unite his nation after hundreds of years of being scattered. This story comes from Japan with a character named Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a Japanese warlord who at that time faced his enemy named Tokugawa Ieyasu. One day Hideyoshi was ready with an army that would attack the army led by Ieyasu.

But because both of them really love their homeland, Japan. The two of them finally agreed to negotiate and negotiate.

Hideyoshi said, “You see my soldiers behind this? They number tens of thousands and are ready for war. They are brave and hadal on the battlefield. I also see that your troops are quite large, they are also disciplined and strong, "

“Tomorrow there are two choices, when war breaks out and one of us will be victorious. I'm sure I won. You are sure, you win. But whoever wins, will take a heavy toll. Your troops and mine are many young men, they will die and be maimed. Their parents will cry, because their son died in the war.”

“Why do we have to go to war tomorrow? I know you love Japan. Me too. You want to unite Japan, so do I. Let us work together to unite Japan together”

Ieyasu also agreed with Hideyoshi's words, “You are right. These Japanese kids are great, loyal and still young”

Finally, at that time, many parents did not cry because they saw their sons return home without a single one missing.

From this story, we can learn a lesson, that being a respectful warrior does not mean giving up. Polite does not mean leaving the struggle. He must always seek a peaceful path, a good path, placing the interests of the nation above all else.

A warrior is able to overcome his personal feelings in order to maintain the unity of the nation and its people.
