I do agree everything ceattlestretch is saying, but cmon!! The monogamy family structure itself serves the powerful as well. We are supposed to feel like a great global family, and that cannot happen with the current way of looking at things. The family structure of the past is extremely patriarch and it only serves the masters. I realized I am opening a a huge can of warms, but!! Think about it.. The last name, the idea of a clan... all that needs to go... We are a bigger family than it is taught.
I agree we would all benefit by having more love for everyone, but you have to learn to love and be loved somewhere. In this reality we live in kids who grow up without support from their family end up in terrible situations where they are taken advantage of by people who probably had terrible childhoods. Would love to see all villages look out for all children, but that is a fantasy far from reality at this point. Take a look at any foster system & you will see how important it is for families to take care of their own.
