Family

 I sat back and got to thinking ,,,
Why am I the way.....

 I am!

Why do I do the things...

 I do?

And each time this voice tells me 

Family 

They are our first teachers of the otherness ...

People other than ourselves that we must interact with...

I'd imagine if I had a family that communicated well - id communicate better with others

I imagine if we trusted each other more - I'd trust others 

I imagine if we loved each other more- I'd be a better lover

If I dealt with my emotions more .... Well you get the picture ...

Now I'm not blaming anyone or trying hurting anyone but I understand when I meet really good people why they are so great .... Or good ...or decent 

Do I envy it of course....
Do I wish for it of..... course
But understand that everything has it's clinches 

"Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina, Chapter 1, first line
Russian mystic & novelist (1828 - 1910)   

It's the beginning of the things I ponder....
