Let me talk about students in school. The student who is willing to follow the principal and teachers is a good student. But the student who fails to follow is a bad one. So it is in the family. The child who follows his mother and father's idea is a good child, but the one who doesn't is a bad one. The employee who does as the president of the company wishes is a good employee, and who doesn't do so, is a bad employee. Am I right or not? [Yes] Among the Moonies in the Unification Church, some caboodle who follow Reverend Moon's idea are good Moonies, and some opposite caboodle are bad Moonies. Am I right? [Yes] Then which part do you belong to? [Good Moonies] Why good Moonies? Same thought as my thought? [Same act] You got it. Do you have better ideas than I? [No] But I do want it. Do you agree with me? [Yes] Logically, can the man who is doing as God thinks be a good man, or bad man? What can he be? [A good man] (104-206) What is the good boy? You can be a good boy when you can digest a bad boy and have a standard to teach him. A good boy cannot be influenced by the bad boy but he, instead, can influence the bad boy. You should know it. The good boy cannot be a bad boy; if he could, he should be the bad boy. A bad boy is the one who is coming and going between the two worlds. (116-195) When you think of yourself, are you a good man or a bad man? Let me ask you once again. [Good man] Did you never really love and like your mother and father? Then you must be a bad man. Have you ever really liked your brothers and sisters? Have you done so? [Yes] Anyone who hasn't done so is a bad man. How much did you like your friend? How much did you like your teacher? How much have you liked saints in the world? How much have you liked God, whom you should like the most? When you think about whether you are a good man or a bad man, how about you? Good man or bad man? [Good man]. Are you now a good man? (laughter) You should always think about it. (76-275) I told the junior and senior high school students this story at Soo Taek Lee yesterday. I asked them, if they had put their parents to trouble to repay their kindness. If your parents' love seed were big, you should be brought to fruition adding even more. Therefore, you should be dutiful to your parents. You should respect your teacher and render devoted service to your country. You should not be a burden to your parents. (68-171)
