That Paradox Called Family

On one hand without a married mom and dad in a nuclear family to raise the average child in the right manner, often that child will not make it. It holds true--maybe even more so--for each child as actual or prospective individuator. On the other hand, family is the primordial, biological and sociological group unit out of which all other group units are attached and extend from. Where parents are non-individuators that dis-reward the process of individuation in their children, this dysfunctional groups breeds conformity, selflessness, mediocrity and lack of person performance. And the vast majority of family units in any people in any generation are headed by non-individuating parents rewarding group=oriented, herd behavior in their children. The family unit can liberate and inspire each child to become exceptional and great. The family unit can, usually and traditionally does enslave, break and train each child to live an ordinary, unexceptional life. Children, born basically evil (loving slavery, selflessness and death), are rarely able to surmount such a sad, bleak upbringing.
