The social implications of family are maddening. The misappropriation allotted by kinsmen ridiculous. Man by nature soldier. Nurture thus the death of all things natural. To justify actions with a phrase of “well, he/she is family”, is the negation of natural law. The hyena son who is mentally castrated by his mother is removed from the pack so his sister will not eat him. The mother bear leaves her mate to protect her children from being devoured. Our children, gnawed and empty stumble at the foot of life as their duties are dictated in full. Honor and save me; a child is the ultimate crutch. A parent will never be alone.
