Towards a Philosophy of Family
    #7048437 - 06/15/07 02:01 AM (16 years, 8 months ago)

Should you long to see them? Dislike being separated from them each morning
as you go off to work? Do you need breaks? Should work be at home,
or separate in the city? What do you feel?

My family has been making my life hell. I have given this alot of thought the past couple of days. Family should be far, yet close (to mind) at the same time. Breaks are a must. I guess it really comes down to if your family smothers you or your lifestyle. This is what my fam is doing and it sucks...::mad:
I no i prob shouldnt bitch about my problems in P&S. Gotta save this shit fo P&MWB or the pube. I goona smoke a bowl...peace:bongload:

whatever feels right in your present personal situation.

there are no absolutes. shoulds and should not's create an unrealistc ideal system that one must hold himself to, which is unhealthy. if you feel you should want to be with your family, but one day you dont, then your ideal system would make you feel guilty, which is a waste of your energy.

i say follow the path of least resistance. if you love your family, love them and be okay with that. if you dont love your family, then dont love them and be okay with that also.

I personally would :heart: to see the whole universe a family.
To see earth separate from that, riddles me out in a primitive way.

Family is the prime concept for civilisation. All of it stems from this primitive notion.
The fundamental disruption of family coherence, imho, is a planned act from those who want to lead trust more to a supreme system of earth governance, and/or some emotionally crazy egomaniacs.

If families were destroyed, (edit: free) societies will fail and something is going ugly wrong.

Family is socially constructed. In the context of your question, there are only the emotions of you and other people, but there is no way that you truly "should" feel.

ChiefGreenLeaf:
One should not hang out with their family, just because they are family.
One function of family is that they take care of you no matter what,
but if they cannot do that, why would you keep close contact with them.
Although leaving them can be just as painful, but 'time heals all
wounds' and one might soon forget what it is that was wrong, and turn
the blame onto oneself.
Bitching might not be right, but it is philosophical stuff.

BlueCoyote:
It's all primate politics. The boys disregarded by their fathers,
grown up with their mothers, are to take over. They take the form of the
father, but the disrupt his dictatorship of numbers, measurements,
logic, rationale--all the things that will give him abstract power since
the mother has power of nearness over the children. But these disregarded
boys, they are destroying the fabric of civilization. They work unknowingly
for the matriarchy, but take the form of patriarchy.

Icelander:
Why's that?

figurine:
Family is a social construct, but behind this there is something common
to many animals and humans--a fundamental group sharing closer genetic
relations than the rest of the species, but as for thought, emotion,
ideology...this is entirely constructed and often erases or covers
over what might be biological.
Yes, no shoulds (one of my most disliked words--must've come about
at a time when the social classes grew apart and some people were
supposed to, SHOULD, live up to the expectations and wantonness of others.
But there is philosophy beyond should--not all philosophy is universalistic.




Come on. Let's speak about the marrow of daily life.
