【A Red Cube】

Do you like your family ? Do you receive love from your parents ?
Recently, it seems that children spend a lot more time playing videogames than spending time with their families.

One of differences between a nuclear family and a large family is that the nuclear family has less communication.
The youth crime, children’s shoplifting are on the rise.

To make matters worse, I heard the news “A child killed his mother” why-o-why would they do that ?
Why did children, parents and family change ?
We must think of “family” once again !

I believe in an idea that everyone is born with a six-faced cube which is not colored at all.
And each face of the cube represents respectively “father”, “mother”, “friends”, “lover”, “society” and “oneself”.

If parents love you a lot, the faces representing father and mother turn bright red.

If you establish good human relations with others, each relative face is colored also bright red.
A person who has a red cube means he is better off and happier.

Two faces of the parents are the most important because these two faces are the first ones to be colored.
If your parents don’t give you enough love, your cube will become dark.

I’m afraid children with a dark-colored cube are increasing today.

By the way, I haven’t met my father for five years now.
He lives on his own because of his job.
I miss him very much. I’m very sad.
So I must admit that my cube has one black face.

Before we marry and have a family, we must think twice about becoming good and loving parents.
And I have two things to tell you.

First, babies can’t choose their parents.
Of course, I couldn’t choose my parents.
I might have been born as KIMUTAKU’s baby or of a race that has a long neck.
Or I could have been a baby of Mr.Sakamoto the gentle.

It is a destiny we can’t choose.
But, we can choose with whom to fall in love and what family to make.
We must be responsible not only for my life but also for my children’s life.

Second, it is we who will be able to paint our children’s cube in bright red.
Recently, the number of young people’s crime is on the rise and the number of black cube is increasing.

Because, it seems children haven’t enough of their family’s love.
So, please give your children a lot of love.

I hope our children will have a bright red cube.

By the way , , , Do you have a bright red cube ?

Thank you.
