THE FAMILY

 

THE FAMILY

The world is one big family, God is the Father, Nature the Mother, and we the siblings. Sometimes we wrong the mother, father reacts, sometimes we ignore the father, mother reacts. Most of the times we fight one another, both react. But they, being parents, when father is annoyed, mother rescues, and when mother is annoyed, father intervenes. And so we barely manage. This is the state today. There is a possibility of all being harmonized, if only the siblings grow up and realise the strength of a happy family. We must set aside our differences, and convince our parents of our maturity, in order to share their abundance. This way, thought the snake, even while we live in these mortal frames, earth can assume the bliss of Heaven, otherwise, we are already facing the anguish of hell.
