Raising Children In God's Will (133) Chapter 2. Children's Love and Parents' Love Section 4. Love of Parents
8) The Force of the Love of Parents - 1
Parents hold a bond of love with their children throughout their whole life and have hope in their hearts even if they have shed tears and blood, and their appearance might be miserable.
Even if there are difficulties, they have the power to step over it and overcome. Isn't that so? (Yes, that's right) It is right. (175-209)
So, whether you perish or not, the position you can take is one of responsibility, rising above the conditions of prosperity or perishing.
Where is this class of love in human society, where you can remain, taking responsibility and rising above the problems of life and death? Where is that starting point?
It is not in the love between a man and a woman, nor in the love between brothers. It is not love for the nation, nor for the world.
When we seek for it, we will know that it cannot be but in the parents' love for children. This is the answer.
