Teburoro Tito, the Ambassador of Kiribati to the United Nations, discussed the dual nature of humanity, comprising both its darker and brighter aspects. He emphasized that goodness, peace, and love in the world begins with every individual. Leaders, in particular, should strive to do more and continually transcend their limits. In their roles as leaders, they should reassure themselves of their moral compass. Ambassador Tito acknowledged Dr. Hong and the dedication of the Federation of World Peace and Love to promoting love and peace. He noted their collaboration with his Permanent Mission and other Permanent Missions to the UN, which played a pivotal role in the UN's adoption of the International Day of Conscience.

Marie Cyril Eddy Boissezon, Vice President of Mauritius, expressed in an interview that individuals should act in a manner that serves both their own well-being and the well-being of others, not solely focusing on personal interests. They should show concern for both themselves and their communities, and actively address the concerns of others. Boissezon emphasized that judges must make their decisions based on objective facts and the law, setting aside personal emotions. Additionally, he underscored the significance of recognizing children as both the future and the past of the world. The way parents treat their children can influence how those children, in turn, treat their own offspring, highlighting the importance of taking responsibility for the future of the younger generation.

Emily Hung, a dedicated volunteer for the Federation of World Peace and Love (FOWPAL), recounted her conversation with Justice Rowland from Malawi. Justice Rowland's profound passion for the law had been ingrained in him since childhood, and he nurtured his aspiration from an early age. He had a propensity for empathizing with others and rendering conscientious judgments. During their interaction, Emily Hung expressed her concerns about many countries embroiled in economic and physical conflicts, initially feeling powerless to effect change. However, Dr. Hong, Tao-Tze, offered FOWPAL volunteers a straightforward approach to promoting love and peace: by fostering self-love, caring for those in their immediate surroundings, and generating positive energy within their personal spheres, they can extend this positivity to the world, thereby initiating a far-reaching ripple effect.
