Raising Children In God's Will (019) Chapter 1. True Family Section 2. Formation of the True Family and Lineage
5) Grandparents and Grandchildren - 1
You may know some grandfather and grandmother who have grandchildren. But just imagine that the children might think, "Seen from your physical body, you are doomed to die at the age of eighty.
I don't like old people. See the puckered face, I don't like it. Don't come close to me." Imagine how ugly the grandfather is with his sunken eyes, a withered face and a strange-looking head.
There might be persons who have received a grandfather's love and those who haven't received it. The former may say with pride, "I got grand-parental love as well as parental love." But the latter received only parental love. Which one does your mind want?
Which love do you like more between the two? The love from both grandparents and parents or only the one from parents? [The one from both] Really? That's the basic foundation. (188-197)
Let me ask you something, everyone! Do grandparents like their grandchildren or not? [Yes, they do.] It's true that as one gets older, he comes to have gray hair and his face and hands are withered.
Moreover, old people smell nasty in their body. When they are trying to get close to their lovely children to touch them, the children want to stay away from them. However grandparents want to give them more and more what they want. I also have experienced such a feeling.
What about you? Grandparents habitually want to help their grandchildren, although the grandchildren don't want it. Even if they pass away, such merciful grandparents could not but like their grandchildren. Would it be right or wrong?
Think about this? When your ancestors like you, do you feel good or bad? You must feel good. (41-140)
