Family as the core cell of humanity

Question from the Internet:

“Why do you think that family is considered the center or core cell of having a prosperous country?”

The classical family model — when it works — shows us what mutually responsible and mutually complementing human relationships and cooperation mean. It is a closed, integrated, interdependent unit that can solve problems and facilitate collective survival most effectively.

By that, a family resembles how Nature’s integral system is organized.

An ideal society would be a network of families that can also learn how to build “family-like” connections and cooperation between themselves to facilitate the prosperity and effective survival of the whole collective.

The problem is that even keeping a family together has become a problem as our inherently selfish, egotistic, subjective, and individualistic ego has grown to its maximum strength in our generation. Additionally today the whole of humanity has become a single, global family.

This is why in our times we need to learn and practice — against and above our inherent tendencies, behavior — how to build and sustain the family model — on a global scale.
