Veronica , straight to the heart of the matter …the kernel of powerful truth …. again.

I was having a similar discussion with friends. Told them of a situation where one of my nephew’s friends (year 12 - and this is years ago) lived by himself, he worked part time and totally supported himself and undertook all the required learnings year 12 demands. He had moved out of his family home - one of his family murdered another in his family. He did not want that life. My friends totally went “oh yes family”. NO it ain’t necessarily so !!!! I told them of another situation I knew of (again years ago) . A caring mum and dad ..truly caring and loving. 4 children (male and female) . Three ended up committing suicide , drugs, stealing from family to pay for habits. One remained in life. Why? Too easy to blame this blame that … in the end we will stand naked , all pretense stripped … murder is murder … torture is torture… and we are not our parents, we are not our organization , we are not the political creature …we are love or fear.
