Part One: Family Life
3. Disinterest or Disengagement: In modern society,
many parents are becoming disinterested or
disengaged in raising their own children and couples are
becoming more disinterested in maintaining a vibrant
relationship. If members of the family do something
wrong, parents will say "Do whatever you like, I'm
tired of telling you what to do! "This has led us to
a "Whatever!" generation of young people who do
not have firm rules to govern their behavior. This is
due to a lack of endurance (khanti).
4. Selfishness: Living in an intimate group of people
can be very difficult because everyone must learn
to share their time, possessions, trust and responsi
bilities with each other on a daily basis. Sharing is
complicated and challenging! Selfishness makes us
not want to share anything with others. Because of
a lack of sacrifice (caga), we want things for ourselves.
We want to accumulate things in order to feel secure,
successful, independent and unique, but we also
need to share things with our family without a sense
of loss or guilt.
These four problems, then, are opposites of the four
qualities that we look for in the character traits of the people
with whom we want to associate! When we specifically look
around for a partner, or think about having a family, we must
be prepared to meet all types of other people and look for
qualities in a person that will lead to positive relationships. At
the heart of establishing good relationships is the "Dhamma
for Householders". If we think of it in other terms, we can
call it "Facts to Building Families".
