FAMILY MELTDOWN - THE MIS-ES

Families

The definition of a family from most dictionary spans the whole of the entire academia from historical definition to biological definition to financial definition. A few of those definitions include

- An association of people who share common beliefs or activities; - WordNet
- A fundamental social group in society typically consisting of one or two parents and their children. - American Heritage Dictionary
- A group of persons sharing common ancestry. - American Heritage Dictionary
- The staff or body of assistants, of an official: the office family - Dictionary.com

In the course of the next 7 – 8 weeks I’ll be using the following definition of a family which I believe encompasses all relational attachments that exists on our planet.

“A family is a group of people who may or may not be blood relations but who also share common interests, attitudes and goals.”

So the next time you are about to enter the train: remember the people standing next to you, they are your family… You share the common goal of taking a journey.

The next time you see someone random on the street, also remember they are your family; you share the common interest of surviving on this planet.

At home, at work, in school, all around you are different members of the different families that you belong to…… be nice to them

Why so much fuss about families?

Experience tells me and confirms that families are the building blocks of the society. Every good thing gets distributed via the most efficient distribution chain in existence – “The Family”. It is not surprising then, that your “Family name” is still a relevant identifier of who you are.

Likewise, an efficient way of destroying a society is to fiddle around with family units and with time, the cracks in the building blocks (family) will start making their way to the surface.

The next seven weeks on this page are for people that want a change…… (Echoing the words of our new family oriented Prime Minister Gordon Brown)

v If you want to contribute to the growth and survival of your family units
v If you want to identify what went wrong and where in your family units
v If you want to learn better ways of coping with your family members

This series is for you.

Come as I identify known but easily ignored contributors to family collapse.

Come with an open mind, suggestions, experiences and a heart to change and effect change in your respective families.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you “FAMILY MELTDOWN – THE MIS-ES” ………Every Thursday.
