In the last section, we talked about our original purpose in life is to create love. Our life purpose is not becoming the wealthiest person in the world, the most famous person, or even living comfortably. Going back to the root, it’s simply to create a world of love.

If you also resonate with this idea, do you know how we can achieve this?

There is a so-called principle.

Let’s talk about it.

First off, any kind of relationship has a subject-object relationship. Here, ‘subject’ means the person investing and giving love. This can be emotional affection, verbal gratitude, doing something for someone without expecting anything in return, etc. ‘Object’ means the person receiving that love. Now, this subject-object relationship is not confined to people-people (parent-child, husband-wife, etc) relationships. It can be with any form of living existence, including nature.

What’s so important about a subject-object relationship? Well, it is truly this relationship that determines whether love is created or not.

Here’s an example.

Let’s say there is a husband and wife. The husband is always grateful to his wife and loves her dearly. He decides that he wants to do something for his wife to express his love and gratitude, and he decides to do all the house chores for the day. He wakes up extra early, cleans the house, cooks breakfast, and does the laundry.

The wife wakes up and sees that her husband did all the house chores. Although she is surprised at first, she is thinking to herself, “Ugh, he didn’t have to cook an entire breakfast. There’s still leftovers from yesterday’s dinner that needs to be finished before it goes bad. Goodness, why isn’t he doing this every day? Does he even know how hard house chores are? I have to do this every day, but he thinks one day is enough for his part.” The wife feels that her husband should be doing house chores and takes this day’s occasion for granted. Because she is taking this for granted, she doesn’t bother even thanking her husband.

Was love created here?

Not really.

Why?

It is because the wife did not value the love of her husband and the action he took to express that love. Of course she still loves her husband, but this love for her husband did not grow.

Therefore, the principle of the subject-object relationship is the “object partner holds the absolute value”. For the perfection of love, an object partner is absolutely necessary, and the value of the subject’s love is determined by the object partner.

If the object partner does not recognize, take the love for granted, or feels that love is not needed, the subject’s love has absolutely no value. Regardless of how the object partner values the subject’s love, the subject absolutely needs an object partner because without an object partner, the subject has no place to invest love.

Going back to the scenario, what if the wife was so amazed by what her husband did for the morning? What if she really felt her husband’s love through the house chores he did? For sure, the wife would have given the greatest value to her husband’s love, and her love for her husband would have grown. In that kind of scenario, love would have been created and multiplied.

To recap, love is created in the principle of “subject-object relationship”. This is the key to creating a world of love and fulfilling our original purpose as human beings.

Why are human beings living in a three-dimensional world? Why do we exist in a world, full of limitations? For example, even though I want to pull an all-nighter to prepare for my final exam tomorrow, my body will reach its limit, and I will feel incredibly tired and drowsy. To add on, in most cases, there is a limit to how long I can retain information.

We are also bound by time.

We all have our physical limits.

We need to put effort and work towards obtaining the things we need and want.

We are immortal.

If you believe that human beings were created by a superior Being, have you ever wondered why we were created this way? Why weren’t we created to resemble the almighty superior Being?

If you believe in an afterlife, have you ever wondered why we are living in this three-dimensional world? Why are we not living in the world of afterlife that transcends time and space? Doesn’t it sound more convenient to live in just the afterlife?

Let’s solve why we human beings live in a limited, three-dimensional world.

Here’s a story to explain our purpose of existence here on this earth:

Let’s say there is a family of six. Both parents love their four children equally, and none of the children felt less loved than their siblings.

One day, the parents bought cinnamon buns (the children’s favorite dessert) at a local bakery. However, the parents could only manage to buy three. They have four children but only three cinnamon buns.

What to do….

One option is for the parents to take this into their own hands and split the cinnamon buns into 3/4 sizes and giving that portion to each children. It’s fair and square, isn’t it? The children wouldn’t argue with each other (they may argue over which portion is bigger but aside from that) or feel less loved. Everyone will receive the same amount of cinnamon buns. No complaints.

But, the parents did not do this. They gave all three cinnamon buns to their first child.

???

Now the first child is confused to why his parents gave all the cinnamon buns to him and not to his siblings.

He wondered a lot because he knew his parents loved all of them equally.

Then, he reached to a conclusion. He said to himself, “I get it! Mom and dad wants me to love my younger brother and sisters as much as they do!”

With the answer he reached, he gave to each one of them, one whole cinnamon bun and not keep any for himself.

Receiving their own big, round, cinnamon bun, the younger siblings were all very moved. They felt, “Wow, big bro loves these cinnamon buns too, but he gave us these cinnamon buns without keeping even a little bit for himself.”

The younger siblings were so thankful that they took 1/4 of the cinnamon buns they had in their possession and gave it to their older brother with an additional big heart of love for him.

The End.

Did you get what just happened? In the end, all the siblings ended up having an equal, 3/4 of cinnamon buns.

But what was ultimately different from the parents doing this in the first place?

The answer is LOVE.

In all the relationships within this family, love was created and strengthened. This wouldn’t have happened without the limited number of cinnamon buns.

So, here’s the answer to why human beings live in a limited, three-dimensional world:

To create and multiply love.

We live in this kind of world to create love. Love can only be created when something is sacrificed. Sacrifice exists only in limitations. I may have to give up something in order to make someone else happy, but this is how we can truly feel love.

We human beings were created in this kind of world to create a world of love. This is the original purpose of human beings.

We all want to be happy. That is our state of comfort and joy.
So, what brings us happiness?

Desire can be anything–from a simple hunger craving to a career goal.

Why do we have such an irresistible, strong feeling called desire?

In what situations can we come to feel joy and ultimately happiness?

The answer is rather simple.

Happiness comes when our desires are fulfilled. 

In other words, desire is our source of happiness.

When we get what we want, we feel a lot of joy.

However, desire has been a source of unhappiness as well. As people sought for more than what can be provided, such as more land, more power, or more money, it ignited conflicts, wars, and destruction.

Desire can bring two different sources of emotions. Then, how can I choose the way to be happy with having desire?

The answer is simple yet complicated for many of us to apply in our practice of living.

When desire is used for self-interest that only cares about one’s own happiness and disregarding others, it brings unhappiness. If I desire to have something that roots down to my own satisfaction, this kind of desire will ultimately lead to unhappiness. I will always be in the state of worry and conflict because I will not stop seeking for more.

On the contrary, if desire is used to fulfill the desire of others, altruism, there is happiness. If I desire to do something that brings others joy, then, my state of mind will be at peace and harmony.

Why is that so?

This is the original human nature.

All kinds of religions have guided a path for us to lose desire. Religions taught that if we do not have desire, there can be a state of peace in our minds. However, having desire is the original characteristics of human beings, and therefore, desire is something that needs to be embraced within ourselves, not rejected.

Human beings do not have to rid themselves of desire in order to live a happy life. We just need to change the direction of our desire.

Hard to believe?

Then, we recommend that you test this out. Ask your heart which direction of desire you feel more attuned to. We promise you that this is the principle that can lead to true happiness within you and to your loved ones.
