What is the wish of an individual? When you think about it, there must be the wish of a man and the wish of a woman. So what are their wishes? Their traditional way of life and hope would be, while they grow up, to become mature and get married. That is the path of hope that life can go, and many people have followed it.

So what is the purpose of two, man and woman, meeting and loving each other. Where does the purpose of love dwell? If a couple loves each other centered upon themselves, where does the purpose lie? Do they hope the result of it will influence only themselves? Do they love each other only planning to leave love for themselves? We don't think so. When we love we are hoping for something where the result can be connected to the whole. Isn't that children? Why do we want to have children? Why are we not satisfied with centering upon the being who is closest to us, but try to leave children behind? When we talk about having a small number or a large number of children, the more a person stands in a noble or a good position, the more his desire is to leave behind as many offspring as possible, centered upon his precious position. That is the nature of human beings.

Nowadays, people are talking about birth control. In other words, we can say that even though our original nature wants to spread and expand our offspring centered on the family, which is the origin of the ethical principles of humanity, birth control prevents it.

So in this era of birth control, do they use because they don't want children? There is nobody who doesn't want children. They must be the same as other people in wanting children.

If they have a son, they should also want more children. In other words, they would want children who can be a leader of other children. Isn't it true?

With any parents, even with evil parents, don't they have that kind of hope for the children? Isn't that love? When we think about this question, all people want their children to be the best among all children rather than their children following other sons and daughters. (64-167)
