Thus, /Moo/ together means "to stop the attack, disturbance, and aggression." This etymological analysis tells that Moo originates from the practice of halting and pacifying war or disturbance. In the context of modern life, we are involved in continuous disturbance: Even though we Do not suppose an extreme event like war, our capacity as human beings are finite, we must face death regardless. Thus, we must accept that we cannot be totally free from disturbance, however, we can learn to manage the disturbances that plague us. We can view them as challenges to our lives...
