Section 1. The Reason for Sons and Daughters

1. The Most Valuable Being

The problems of teenagers are a worldwide topic today. They are discussed based on ethical considerations; but why do they happen so often? If children stood in the position where they were intoxicated by their parents' love, and by love between brothers so that they would die if they didn't see each other, what would happen? If they stood in such a position and still if it happened, let it happen. Would the problem occur or not?

These problems occur because we cannot approach the basic standard of noble values. In other words, it happens because they cannot find what is valuable in the objective world. The most valuable thing in the world of human beings is children. Second is husband and wife, and then parents.

The last position you can love someone is nowhere other than the position of children, the position of husband and wife, and the position of parents. If so, who should exist first in the heart of parents as the most beloved? Who should be the first one? If you look at the matter centering upon the mother, should the child be first or should the husband be first? How is it in the society? If a loving mother exists, who should be the first one in her mind? Who is it, the child or the husband? This is the question.

The reason I'm asking you this is that I have decided to talk about it after I've asked the question. The child or the husband? Please answer. (The child) Answer clearly. These matrons may think the child comes first. Those kind of women are those who are despised, abused and treated badly by their husbands. Who should come first? Should you love your husband as you love your child or should you love your child as you love your husband? Ladies and gentleman, please answer this question: if someone were to... The parents must come first. If there are parents and if they bear and raise children, then there would be objects of love. Because of this, if a mother with a child is forced to choose one to die between her husband and child, if she loves her child sincerely, she would choose the husband to die rather than the child.
