1) The Relationship towards Things in Our Daily Life.

How do we distinguish among the relationships we have in our daily lives? First, we have relationships towards things; second, we have relationships toward other human beings; third, we have relationships toward words. Specifically, we use our relationships toward things and words in our relationships with other people. Words exist for indirect purposes, mainly for the third purpose.

Therefore, when we deal with things, we should not get caught in front of God or by the heavenly law. Also in our relationship toward people, we should not get caught or fail to pass in the relationship toward things, toward other people and in the words we use. Words necessarily lead to action. These are the relationships we have in our daily lives. (40-289)

All the things we deal with are material for education. They are the objects with which we can have a relationship which can cause an indirect response, not a direct response, in the spiritual world. They are God's creation since those created beings resemble God's nature. \Indirectly, they have within themselves the sung sang elements. Therefore, they have elements of goodness as their inner characteristics, with which we can establish a relationship. If there are people who develop their lives making connection through those characteristics, those people do not become obstacles; they don't become minus elements.(40-292)
