| The father is the central pillar of a family. The mother is the foundation. Every one has his or her function and role. If we forget what we should believe to be most important and what we should do in life, we will become like mere rubble comparable to an artificial satellite that has fallen out of orbit. There are three things a man must abide by. First: a man must love his work. Second: a man must love his wife. Third: a man must love his family. It's vital for a man to have the sense of pride and responsibility to contribute to the world and other people through his work. This is only possible when a man has a gentle feeling of love for his wife. Without this, he will not have enough energy to fulfill his task. Without understanding the way of feeling happy that is favored by others, he cannot know the meaning of work. A family is like one of the myriad cells that constitute the world. Therefore, to love one's family is to activate cells, which leads to a healthy world. But however hard the father may work, he cannot successfully fulfill his role -- the burden is too heavy. The mother, and the children, must support, in unison, the father. Then the father's work capacity will surely be boosted by 300 percent. There is an old saying that once a man takes a step outside his home, he must face seven enemies. Traffic accidents, work problems and other threats await him constantly. By ensuring the father is calm and happy, all the family members will be able to enjoy happiness, I believe. |
