Family unity

"Note ye how easily, where unity existeth in a given family, the affairs of that family are conducted; what progress the members of that family make, how they prosper in the world. Their concerns are in order, they enjoy comfort and tranquility, they are secure, their position is assured, they come to be envied by all."
Baha'i Writings


"Envied by all"... Interesting, cause it's true. If I have an aim in life, it's not to be famous, rich, and so on, but rather to have a nice, united, family. Even my work: it can give me mental satisfaction, but first of all, it provides for the family...

How strange, then, that we have magazines about pop stars who marry and divorce in an endless circle. Do we really envy pop star? Why do we engage in gossip which can so easily become pointless envy...
