Perspective

"Though God is the Absolute Being, He cannot be happy alone... even God needs a partner with whom to share love in order to experience joy and be happy." -Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Peace Messages

We all have aspirations and ambitions in life. And unfortunately, in today's society the ambitions most popularly desired are those related to pursuing money, power, and social status.

However, in the perspective of love, do these temporal and materialistic pursuits carry real value? Can a rich and powerful king with all the material blessings one could imagine feel fulfillment and happiness if he had no family or friends to share them with? That would be the loneliest and most unfortunate king.

The perspective of love and of our divine Creator is that our life has value only in the investment we give to our counterparts.
