1. The Origin of Human Happiness

1) Love, Ideals and Happiness Cannot be Realized By Oneself Alone

Since ancient times, humankind has been longing for eternal, truth, and unchanging love, ideals, happiness and peace. But today we are living in a world of distrust and a time of confusion. In this world it is impossible to find the conditions in which the ideals mentioned above can be realized. We might say that people have been doing their best, but have come to an impasse.

If people are unable to realize these ideals, then we have to seek beyond our human limitations to find an eternal, unchanging and true Absolute Being and rely upon Him. If this Being is longing for true love, true ideals, true peace and true happiness, then it will be possible to realize these ideals through Him.

In this case, if there were such a Being, we would call Him "God." This God would be the King of love, the King of ideals, the King of peace and happiness. If, through God, we want to set up the ideal conditions pursued by human beings, we have to listen to God's suggestions. This is a logical conclusion.

The words Olove, ideals, happiness and peaceO cannot stand alone. They can be spoken only in the context of a reciprocal relationship. Not even the Absolute God can realize these things by Himself alone.

God needs an object as His reciprocal partner. If you ask, "What in God's creation is His reciprocal partner?" the obvious answer is, it is a human being. We have forgotten the fact that human being is the object of God, and could fulfill God's love, ideals, happiness and peace.

What use is God's love to Himself alone? What use are His ideals? It's a natural conclusion that, without human beings as His reciprocal partners God cannot realize His love and ideals.
