From the dawn of history, people have made every effort to find out a correct ideology that would illuminate the road for their struggle and life. There were many thinkers in history, but any of them had neither given correct explanations to the problem of position and role of man in the world, the problem of his value and dignity, nor illuminated the road for the people’s worthwhile life and struggle.

Masses of the people didn’t know the clear truth that man is master of everything and decides everything even though they transformed nature and society and created every sort of material wealth. Thus, the path which should be travelled by them to shape their destiny had been in darkness for a long time.

The Juche idea founded by President Kim Il Sung clarified, for the first time, the position and role of the popular masses in the world and indicated the path to be travelled by them.

The foundation of the Juche idea was, indeed, a great event that opened up a new era in the history of human thought.

Thanks to the Juche idea, the popular masses could be aware of their strength as masters who decide everything in nature and society, and understand how to shape their destiny.

All ideas and theories elucidated by President Kim Il Sung, a genius of ideology and theory respected by mankind, touch heartstrings of all the people as they are the noblest manifestations of their cherished desire.
