Family dynamics

You get a lot of time to observe families when you travel. It allows you to ponder on your own dynamics. I watched a movie on the plane called “Funny Birds” about 3 generations, grandmother, mother and daughter. There was nothing funny in it except that they couldn’t see their own foibles. Each one had hurt the other but wondered why the other person was selfish. They were all coming from a place of self. Through illness they learned to communicate, care for each other and forgive. There is always things you don’t know. A wise mystic I know says “it is not good, it’s not bad; you don’t know the whole story…”
