Well, why is it bad to be self-centered? If there is no self-centeredness, it is good; but somehow it is difficult to assure yourself. Yet the bad point is, if you are self-centered you still assure yourself, even though you may be going against the right order. Do you understand? [Yes] It is wrong to go against the right order. What is the bad point of love? Love is not always evil since everybody has to go through love, yet if you do not do it at the right time and in the right order, it is evil.

Well, look how different are God and Satan. They are close to each other like next door neighbors. (Laughter) Do you feel that "side-by-side" describes the situation realistically? [Yes] What is the difference? They have difference in order and sequence.

Nowadays Satan expands this kind of action throughout the world. Youths go against their parents, and this destroys families because they are destroying the right order and sequence. Because of this, families are being broken. Because of this, societies are being broken. Because of this, nations are being destroyed. Because of this, humanity is being destroyed. That is why you cannot deny that this is evil.

During adolescence, you may want to try really hard to copy the activity in a thrilling movie. People ask, "What's wrong with that?" It is wrong because irresponsible actions lead to the destruction of the environment. So it is necessary to use forcible strength against such actions. When you mature and have wisdom and knowledge, and can control your social and environmental experiences, then you are free to do so. But not during adolescence.

Well, why do we say, "Do not give a knife to a child"? It is because the child would wave it around. He understands how to cut with a knife, but he cuts without control. He may even cut his mother's fingers. These things can happen. Because children would destroy order in this manner, we do not give them knives. Do you understand what this means? [Yes]

If we decided to meet together at eight o'clock sharp but you came at ten past eight, then you cannot argue that you were right, saying, "I came here only ten minutes late, how come it's wrong?" What if you came one second after eight o'clock? Is that good or bad? [Bad] How bad is it being one second late? Is this forgivable, while the other one who came at ten past eight...? (Laughter) It is not forgivable. It is unacceptable in this part of the world, because it was agreed that the meeting was to be at eight o'clock sharp.

If it was scheduled for eight o'clock, but some came at six, some came at seven, and some at 7:59:59. What is the difference? The answer is the same. The person who came at 7:59:59, kept the time very well and was punctual.

Well, if there are two people who say, "I am the best at keeping the right time," then both are good and we cannot complain about them or say they are bad. For this reason, we can understand why we need to have the law of order and sequence.

Because of that, we need order. The universe has been moving in accordance with order and law. If, for instance, the moon says, "I have been going around the earth for so long, I feel bored. I would like to revolve around the sun just once!" then the value of the moon disappears, and it may be destroyed.

If the earth says to the sun, "Ah, it is very boring for me to revolve around the sun, it is now your turn to revolve around me!" what do you think? (Laughter) What happens then? This universe will be destroyed. As other planets become involved in the chaos, it leads to the destruction of the universe. Do you understand what this means? [Yes] (117-184)

Everyone in the world, particularly the adolescents might think this way, "The most freedom you can have is to do whatever you wish to do," and, "Who made all the laws and systems in this world? They made them as they wished and needed. I did not make them, so I may disregard them." When they do so, they do not feel any fear towards the world. During adolescence, you want to live life however you want to and have a well-spring of hope. But it does not work out that way. (156-84)
