Chisarang and Naerisarang
Parents bring us up with unconditional love. Unconditional love is 'Naerisarang' in Korean. It doesn't need a reward and, we can say, is the greatest love at all. So what can we do for our parents? You should pay their love back to them. Paying their love back is 'Chisarang' in Korean.
You owe many things to your parents. 1. Debt of birth
The most precious thing in this world is 'life'. Money and power will be useless unless you are alive. So who gave you the life? Yes, right. Your parents did it. But people often forget the gratitude to parents, saying that they got nothing from their parents. Abandoned children and those who can't respect their parents even curse their parents. The only life we have is from the parents. It isn't out of the earth or from the sky. At the same time given the birth, you owe gratitude to your parents. Because it's the most precious thing in the world.
2. Debt of growth
Who fed and took care of you when you were a baby? Your parents did it. Until you get independent from your parents, countless time, money and devotion were needed. So those who insist that their parents gave no money to them have to know this : you received something more than money from your parents - Unconditional love. No matter how poor you are, parents want to help you in every possible way. No matter how ill you are, parents are willing to take care of you as long as they live. People say they were grown up on their own. But child was brought up with what parents value of, love and devotion. Moreover, it needs thousands of time and effort. So who will mostly concern about your happiness? Absolutely your parents! Their love for you never change and never end.
That's why, Chisarang is saying, you owe the love to your parents.
You have to pay the debt to your parents. You could think "Why should I do that?". Then Chisarang can say "it's for your own good".
Those who get a same education and work and make an effort hardly are not always wealthy. People say it's because of difference in personal ability. But it is not. It's because of 'invisible reason'. So what is the meaning of 'invisible reason'? You received something you don't even realize from your parents. You never want it to have, but you surely have. Unless you pay it back to your parents, what you make an effort disappear because of paying your debt to your parents. That's the nature. When you are breathing, even though you don't realize it, you repeat inhalation and exhalation. You breathe in and out naturally before you know. You can't resist to breathe out just because you feel its annoying or too good to give up.
Try it! Breathe in and keep it. You feel painful while you are keeping. If you only breathe in and never breathe out, you will be dead in a minute. Love is same. If you get unconditional love from your parents and just keep it, your effort will go away to pay your debt to your parents before you know it. That's why those who don't pay the debt to their parents can't get a good result no matter how hard they work. You should live in an interactive way. If you want to live on your wish, you have to pay the love you were given back to parents.
So you have to do Chisarang.
What should I do to practice Chisarang?Ⅰ Keep in mind to appreciate everything in your life.
You are indebted to an ancestor for country, happiness and welling-being. They haven't been kept by itself. An ancestor sacrificed his own life and youth to keep them.
Who you are is from parents, from an ancestor and from God. The blood which runs our vessel and the whole body is the other self of parents. Look at yourself. Look at your finger, your hand and your face carefully. Then think "where does it come from?".
It came from your parents. Your parents came from your grandparents, namely your ancestor. So what can you do for them? First, think much of yourself. And thank to everything. That's the easiest way to pay back to an ancestor who gave you birth and gave you the land to live. Also you have to thank to nature. Appreciate the existence of air, water, fire and food you eat.
If you change your perspective, everything is thankful and grateful. People don't know the blessing of air and water until they lost it. If you are lack of air, you will die within 5 minute. If you have no water to drink in the desert, you also die within a week. Ask yourself : Have you ever thanked to air or water?
The first step of Chisarang is thanking to yourself and nature you live in.
What should I do to practice Chisarang?Ⅱ Observe the Etiquette to others.
Nowadays graduating high school is a very common thing. Even graduating university is not rare. We can say that almost everyone has certain knowledge. Namely, it became an information and network society. So knowledge can't be the standard to judge people. All are well-educated, smart and capable to do anything. So what can you do to stand out of ordinary people? Your attitude to deal with your life. Your attitude to treat others.
Those who thank to everything, understand love of parents and respect the older people is the one. They have a good attitude to live. They treat others with love just like their precious family, respect other's opinion and keep the rule of society. They love to live together with others.
The first step to have a good attitude is to appreciate what you have. And how to show your thank to them? Speak out! Take action what you think and thank.
All the people envy those who have a good attitude and are eager to be like that. People say "I want to have a son just like him/her" "I want to be like him/her" "I wish to marry him/her" "I hope to work with him/her" to see them.
It means your parents will be proud of you. As a result, you honor your parents' name ,
help to make a moral society and love your country.

Live just like breathing
You must breathe out after you breathe in to live. The meaning of living just like breathing is to give what you were taken back. You have to give the love of your parents back, pay what you were given from others back and yield things to others after you win something.
If you insist to get something from others and resist to give it to them, you will be sick before you realize. No matter human or nature, it is same. The water that never runs will be rotten. If you put up with nature's call, you will be dead in a week. At least, you will be sick because of the gas from shit. So how stupid people only want to receive things and pile them up! It will kill you in the end. The process of giving and receiving produce the energy for people to move. If you have the energy, you are able to do anything with enthusiasm and develop yourself.
Living just like breathing is the life Chisarang pursues.
