There is an old saying in our Oriental culture, which is "When a family is in perfect harmony, it brings success in everything." Those are really good words.

Man wants to be centered in a family which has a grandfather, grandmother, parents and children. A family has all things in it. It means that there exists everything in a family.

You may think that a family is the place where your mother and father, your wife and children are. But it has something more than those. A family includes a house, a garden, grandfather, grandmother, and so on. A grandfather and grandmother will be happier when they live in better surroundings. There is no comparison between the laughter of grandparents and that of a young couple.

The puckered-up laughter of grandparents is more wonderful and valuable. Their laughter brings harmony into the family. There are parents who may be called "middle grandparents" between grandparents, and there shouldn't be too much gap between the two. All things are to be connected with each other through three stages. All harmony takes place in three stages. When a family is in perfect harmony, all things can be accomplished. (139-12)
