One religion has for its basic teaching: “No success can ever compensate for failure in the home. . . ” Yet this religious reminder is not limited in this sphere for in fact and in truth there is really no amount or form of success can substitute for the inevitable implications if the family has not taken care of each other. Whether rich or poor, schooled or not, there is rooted in the very being of every person a tug of care and concern when matters affect the family.
The world may use ways to detour a person’s interests to something very materialistic thereby making the young very coarse in their treatment to family relationships. But even the world has to accept the reality that underneath a person’s facade is really just a being with the basic need to belong to one’s family. May we then reinforce all activities that promote this innate aspiration of every person to love one’s family. All other problems will be resolved when the world is run by families who truly love each other.
