1) Loving Relationships

Today, people are indifferent to each other. They do not respect each other. Regardless of age or sex, they think it troublesome to relate with one another. Such people cannot have a spiritual awakening.

In God's providence for restoration, He does not need the Republic of Korea only; He needs all of humankind. He has a deep concern for all humankind. That is the most important goal in God's providence. We are gathered here in order to fulfill that goal. You should know that you should have the same concern for all humankind as God has.

True concern for all humankind should come out of the original mind. It should not be superficial. Then we can stand where the best connections and best relations are established. You should have sympathy with others who are in trouble and suffering as if you yourself were in trouble. \If you love others ahead of anyone else, you will have a strong life force in you with which you can overcome the most severe, wintry trial. A life force will grow in spring, and it will become the basis of life in the new world. (25-291)

The value of a person as a human being depends on how one relates with life and love, which integrate all sensations coming through one's five physical senses. Thus, it is important for us to establish human relationships and live a social life with love. If you are not in such a position, you are going backward; not even standing still. (32-19)

Just as balls collide with each other on a billiard table, we meet people and engage in give and take action with them. In a soccer game, a ball is kicked, and it goes up and down, right and left, front and back. We have such human relationships centered on love.

What is religion? It is seeking God. Then what shall we do after finding God? We should go further into the depth of the love of God, shouldn't we? If not for the human Fall, people could have reached that point, and religion would not be necessary. Then what explanations are necessary for love? We can naturally recognize parental love, conjugal love, and so on. We cannot be separated from love any more than we can be separated from air.

Do you have to go in a special direction to find air? You will find it anywhere. In the same way, you can experience love from your parents and from your loved ones wherever you are. (91-82)

2) The Fundamental Element in Human Relationships

We should decide how we should live our lives. We should associate with and serve the people, good or bad, young and old, without distinction of what we like or dislike.

You should think of what you have done to others before you judge them as good or bad. Water flows from higher to lower places. The air of high atmospheric pressure naturally comes down to the lower vacuum. Thus, when you stand in the lower position, others will come closer to you. That is the Principle. (131-33)

You should be careful when you come in front of others and speak in front of them. You should consider their inner and outer situation. (42-300)

As a religious person, one should be united with God, and then one should be emotionally and horizontally related with all things and the world, centering on God's love. (82-275)

You should not relate with people with greedy ambition. (33-143)
