Family and Society:
The family is against society; the family is against human relationship as a whole. You know, it is like living in one part of a big house, in one little room, and making an extraordinary thing of that one little room, which is the family. The family has only importance in relation to the whole of the house. As that one room is in relation to the whole of the house, so is the family in relation to the whole of human experience. But we separate it; we cling to it. We make much about the family --- my relations and your relations--- and we battle with each other everlastingly. And the family is like little room in relation to the whole house. When we forget the whole house, then the little room becomes terribly important; so also the family becomes very important when you forget the whole human experience. The family has only importance in relation to the whole of human experience; otherwise, it becomes a dreadful thing, a monstrous thing...
Do We Truly Love Our Families?
