What is the origin and motive of parents loving their children? Love between a man and a woman changes, but love centering on the children who are the result of the love between a man and a woman does not change because it is a certain flow of vertical origin. We are sure of that.

If so, who is the subject of that vertical love? We answer, God. We need someone as the absolute, never-changing subject of love who can continuously seek the object from an original position. That love is not what husband and wife can do what they please with. That love cannot be cut off even if you want to. Man, as a horizontal being, cannot touch it. That is why when parents love their children it is everlasting and unchanging. Could that ever change? (48-155)

Nowadays the idea of individualism overflows in the world. Children say, "Our parents are so old-fashioned and they will not understand us young people." Children change like that, but the heart of parents does not. Even if the children call them old-fashioned, that will not make them say, "So, you are acting like that, ha? Then I will do the same thing to you." The love of parents is not like that. That is the same with animals. They rise above their own life when loving their cubs.

So, where does such love come from? If I am the being as a result of some object relationship, it was created from a relationship with the same first force. That is not what we human beings can touch. Have you seen anyone shouting, "We must revolutionize parents' love! Let's do that. The history of humankind says, 'I am a parent, but I will not love my children'"?. Parents cannot but help loving their children from the moment they are born.

All beings, whether they are intelligent or not, cannot help but love their young. When we see parents loving children by investing their life and wanting to love, we can say that parents' love is unchanging and everlasting. When we seek something absolute in the creation, it is not absolute itself, but the closest thing to it before man. It must be the one and only foundation. There must not be two of them. It must be that one foundation, and when we think about it, the love of parents has been the eternal foundation in history.

Now, where did such parents' love come from? It did not come about from their parents' suggestion or from an object-partner's advice from their own idea. It naturally happens. Love is formed naturally. (48-156)
