The Way For Students - 144 Chapter 4. School And Study Section 2. Student's Duty
1. Student's Responsibility - 1
In the school there are the principal, teachers, and students, where the subject and object relationship is set between them. Therefore, any student opposing a teacher should be kicked out. If a student goes to school with another plan rather than study, he should be kicked out. (11-19) Everyone should have his own position. In the family, a son must wait upon his parents, sister, or mother and father; each of them should have his own position. Everyone has his own position in which each of them forms a connection and establishes a relationship with each other, where he or she tries to do his or her duty fully.
For example, a student who goes to school as a son of any parents has his own position and responsibility both as a student and as a son. If he did not have that position, he would be in a miserable condition. Without such a position and responsibility coming out of those relationships, he would be a lonely person. The position being clear, centering on it and having helpful surroundings to get what he wants to get through systematically, the front and behind, right and left, above and below relationships, he could make his mark in the world in future.
But no matter what position was set with all conditions fulfilled, when the surroundings were not helpful to harmonize with his direction, he would have trouble in making his way. It is the same in the path of our life, in our family, and in the society as well. (41-130) Young students today go to school carrying bags with them. But some of them have no idea why they go to school. "I am going into the society." And then where are you going? "For the country, I am going to carry heavy responsibility."
And then? "Into the world, for I want to lead them." And then? Here, they don't know where to go more. They lost their way before Heaven. Everyone in the world is in such a miserable situation. (5-178) |
