1) The Reason We Should Love People

Arrogance and stubbornness are our enemies. They are natures of Satan. Instead, we should be modest and harmonious. There is love where there is harmony, and you should harmonize with everyone. If two persons are united, something greater than what they have will arise. Jealousy is another satanic nature, but here you should keep in mind that you should not be arrogant and stubborn. (37-132)

The first commandment is, "Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." The second commandment is, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." The first commandment says that you should love God, and the second one says that you should love your neighbor, meaning all humankind. It is God's will that all humankind should live in the world of love. Therefore, He will not accuse us if we love people more than we love God. (136-141)

Why do we have to love each other? It is because if we do not love, God's love cannot go around. The love between subject and object must be there before vertical love can appear. (34-240)

2) How Much Should We Love People?

What is a saint? Is he a person who eats well? If he a person who fights well? No, he is not. A saint should love all people as his parents, his brothers and sisters, and his children. Parents suffer when their children are sick. A saint will suffer to see humankind in trouble. It is the way of a saint to love all humankind and invest all he has into them, forgetting his pride. This way of a saint has been inherited as the standard of morals throughout history, beyond ages and national boundaries. It is the philanthropic spirit, the love for humankind. (186-74)

How much did you love people? Have you ever loved a person at the risk of your life? How much and how many people have you loved? Your heart of love will be formed depending on how much emphasis you put on loving others. (73-78)

You should walk the way of faith based on God's love if you want to inherit the eternal connections. Then you will bear fruit in the presence of humankind. Our association should be greater than any other association in loving people. Our association has been established by God's Will rather than by human will. Therefore, it will bear fruit of love in the presence of the world.

In winter, leaves fall. When spring comes, trees turn green and we feel hope. Likewise, if you keep loving all humankind in whatever difficult situation you may be, you will become a hope and a representative of Heaven. When you love others you should not only love youths; you should love young and old and all human beings.

You should love and respect old people more than young people. Especially you should love and have sympathy for old people who cannot work and need care. But today's tendency is for young people to ignore old people. That should not be the case. (25-289)
