Reflections

“By nature, man seems adapted to live in communities of a very moderate size; his economic life has compelled him to live in eve—enlarging ones. Many of the damaging effects of family life described by modern psychologists may be the result of our attempt to make the family group satisfy psychological needs which can only be satisfied by the community group. The family is based on inequality, the parent-child relationship; the community is, or should be, based on equality, the relationship of free citizens. We need both.” ~ W. H. Auden, My Belief, Essays of the Masters
