"The mess in Taiwan today is mostly the result of narrow-mindedness, there is no openness of spirit." In his writings, Kuo argues that to open the mind, one must open the mountains and forests, open the seas, open the air and "let people freely develop an intimate relationship with their own land. Only in this way will they identify with Taiwan, will they love this piece of earth.
「台灣今天的亂象，最大癥結是心胸狹窄，沒有開放的心靈，」他為文指出，要開放心靈，就必須開放山林、海洋、天空，「讓人們自由親吻自己的土地，才會認同台灣，愛這片土地；有了愛，心靈才會潔淨成長。」
