Family

"The family is the most fundamental unit of society." The 14th Dalai Lama

Yes, family is both our bane and our blessing.  It is within the family unit that most individual growth is inspired.  A friend of mine once said amusingly when he heard that Eckhart Tolle had married, "now, his real spiritual journey begins."  Yes, I can look to family for reasons for growth and for support when life's challenges arrive.
