For better or for worse, no other experience in our life time will shape us as much as our experience of family.
Family
Family can be a source of joy or a source of pain and sadness. Either way, one's personal experience of family is an unavoidable reality, providing the immediate context within which we navigate daily life, and at the same time, steering us to find our place in the greater family of humankind.
Our attitudes and feelings for family will often be mirrored in how we see the world. Indeed, family may determine how we relate to the cosmos: the extent to which we are curious; our capacity for hope. And the degree to which we care.
