Raising Children In God's Will (125) Chapter 2. Children's Love and Parents' Love Section 4. Love of Parents
6) The Specific Nature of the Love of Parents - 1
Parents become the subject and average before their children from all sides, but they are weak before their love. When love plays a central role, we can say there is not authority of parents before love.
On the contrary, it becomes upside-down. Even if it become upside-down, the parents do not lose their authority, but they can still have the original attitude in that upside-down position.
This is why we see, even if we go down centering on love, we are not going to be blocked there, but will go forward heading for eternity in that position. (48-149)
When parents love children, they do not love them in a certain, fixed form, asserting themselves, saying, "Parents must be like this," but they do not love children from the authority position.
They love their children even to a higher position, from a place that forgets the authority of parents. We can say they truly are parents with such a love, standing before their children.
If parents own love, they do not have it for themselves, but for the children. That love of parents does not exist only for the parents, but for the object of parents. It is the same with children.
When children love their parents that love does not exist for the children, but for the parents. The word love is not composed when centering on ourselves, but when we respect the object partner more than ourselves.
So that is why when we say we were born for love, it has the same meaning with saying we were born for an object partner. (59-298)
