Great individuals fight abuses of authority. The truly strong do not lord it over the weak.  People of genuine strength and courage battle against the powerful, the arrogant, the authoritarian, the evil and corrupt-all who look down on the people with contempt.

Nichiren writes, "If you light a lantern for another, it will also brighten your own way."  Please be confident that the higher your flame of altruistic action burns, the more its light will suffuse your life with happiness. Those who possess an altruistic spirit are the happiest people of all.

Above all, both you and your husband are upholders of the Lotus Sutra.  You will surely bear a jewel of a child who is going to inherit the seed for the propagation of the Lotus Sutra.  I wholeheartedly congratulate you. The child is one who will inherit both your physical and spiritual aspects.
