Like all the best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements.
Family is conflict and it's something that we all relate to.
We all have our family issues from time to time.
As children we recognized that we belonged to an unusual, even exceptional, family, but the effect was different on each of us.
We all end up at least somewhat like our parents, especially in the way we deal with our children.
Families have become models for public life, constructing friendships between individuals of different temperaments, ambitions and ages, even if they are often unsuccessful. People now want, above all, appreciation of their uniqueness.
Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter.
Family life is fragmenting in this modern age, but it's up to all of us to keep it together.
Far from being the basis of the good society, the family, with its narrow privacy and tawdry secrets, is the source of all our discontents.
I'm blessed to have such a tight-knit family that we can talk about anything. Whether we talk frequently or not, since we're on separate ends of the country, there are a lot of moving parts, and we always stay tight and find that center ground that keeps us together.
