"Fubooncho-kyo" says,
　- While a human being lives, he/she prays for his/her children to be safe, and he/she hopes to protect them after he/she dies. -
　A parent does not mind to become a victim for his/her children and he/she wishes to protect his/her children even after dying. This is a paragraph which describes the thought parents have when they bring up their children. You can feel the parents' strong will to do anything for their children there.
　The parental affection to merely think for their children without demanding the compensation can be called "devotion". "Kangorin" that is a dictionary says, "the devotion" means "to sacrifice oneself for a thing and make power for the thing".
　Last summer there was a pitiful accident that many people who came for fireworks visit were died in the fire by the volatile oil of the canned gasoline in Hyogo. There was the child who got off with a slight injury miraculously, Because the father became the shield from fire and protected his child and died. This is the devotion. In Hokkaido, a mother let the daughter wear the mother's jacket to protect the daughter in a snowstorm and held her and died.
　The 31-syllable Japanese poem of the death poem of Shouin Yoshida is famous. It says "The parental affection is superior to the heart that the child thinks of the parents. How do the parents think of today's arrival?".
　When you bring up a child, you don't demand money for the love. The love of the parent will be what's called "gratuitous love". Syouin says that there is nothing superior to the love of the parents and says the sorrow of them hearing the report that their son dies in "Bansha no goku" earlier than the parents.
　The antonym of "the devotion" is "calculation". Mr. Kyosuke Kindaichi defines "the calculation" as "thinking about the loss and gain".
　I feel sorry that there are many people who think about only the loss and gain and calculate calling for the reward. I want you to be always conscious of consideration not to demand a reward from other people. It may be said that a country with many people who do not demand a reward from other people is a rich country. I think that the country where is higher in not only the GNP but also in the nation well-being is the country where a material is rich and the heart is rich
