G.C. Droplets October 2000 -The Tugs and Pulls of the World

We learn to cope with the people of this world because we learn to cope with the members of our family. Those who flee the family flee the world; bereft of the [family's] affection, tutelage, and challenges, they are unprepared for the [world's] tests, judgments, and demands. -Neal A Maxwell (quoting James Q. Wilson)
