THE FAMILY WE<br />
FEEL IS OURS<br />
D R . J R A J M O H A N P I L L A I<br />
The makers of family, however, are not simply inanimate objects, but the presence, habits, and<br />
effects of spouses, children, parents, and companions. What makes family-territories different from<br />
other territories is on the one hand the living in a temporalization of the space in love and affection,<br />
and their connection with identity.<br />
It is the connection with the identification process that makes us believe. That believes are the one<br />
that makes a family.<br />
Unfortunately, some family members are so psychotic that no matter how hard you try to forge a<br />
healthy relationship, nothing will help. Some things are beyond your control. You owe it to yourself to<br />
steer clear of people who are harmful to your health<br />
Family, today, is a place for renegotiation and primary socialization, where people can relate to each<br />
other not just on ties of blood but also on the basis of love-"finding solace from the hardships and<br />
pressures.<br />
The nuclear family moving away from traditional "joint family", is also the site for cultural and<br />
generational conflicts particularly when linked with different ideas. Although, there is no one<br />
monolith familial structural form and practice (because of local cultural and religious diversity) and<br />
the institution of family in modern, global diaspora has experienced a series of changes (no longer<br />
taken for granted), still the concept of family is "one's inner spiritual self, one's true identity" in a<br />
strange world.<br />
Most people in the same family ask why they were all strangers who shared the same family name. I<br />
believe in fate and I believe that different people come into our lives who become our family. They<br />
naturally develop affinities and understanding that make them more than family if not the real family.<br />
So learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Look around you and find your real family.<br />
Do not wait for the people with the same family name to behave the way you believe in Love and<br />
relationships. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or around<br />
you and you will realize the real.<br />
Then every minute should be enjoyed and savored.<br />
