In other words, material things are merely the “outer part,” but happiness is closely related to the “inner part,” which is also related to love.
　Love is the fundamental guiding principle of a world more advanced than ours. Therefore, the more advanced world sees life from the standpoint of “all of us,” whereas on earth, only “self” is important.
　Unfortunately, selfishness is our most natural behavior. It is where all of our lifestyles come from. Although it is often elegantly described as “competition,” it is nothing more than a prehistoric “law of the jungle. Our lifestyles are driven by the motor of this famous “civilization” called “competitiveness.
　But the civilization of the universe has long since outgrown prehistory. There is sharing, but no competition.

　Our education is focused on “external things,” not on “internal things,” and all we do is memorize material for that purpose. It is not about memorizing materials for happiness or understanding the higher meaning of life. If you fill your mind with such materials, you will never understand the deeper meaning of life, and inside, nothing will change. And, moreover, we will not make any progress.
　And instead of encouraging us to be people with a sense of solidarity, they want us to be very “competitive. This means that we must win at all costs, even if it means trampling and crushing others, and that it is meaningless if we do not rise to the top. This is the philosophy, morality, and ethics with which we are now being educated.
