We return to the family, with our body and with our soul. We see it all the time in those elderly people who remember their childhood more clearly than the day before. Returning to the family (if we are talking, obviously, about a family rooted in love and respect) is nothing more than the natural response of each one of us to the environment in which we are loved for what we are, not for what we have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The opening pages of the aforementioned book by Alvira contain a few brief but profound strokes about the vital infinitude of the family: \"in it we are conservative, since we wish to maintain it, we have a reason to conserve it; we are social, since it is there that we learn to appreciate others; we are liberal, since each one acquires his own personality in it; we are progressive, since it is the institution of growth, and in which we invent in order to offer something good to others\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n The job of everyone: young, old, adolescent or unborn is, unfailingly, to play their place within the family. To weigh on the family is to think about \"the whole\" of our life. Therefore, to ask a father, a mother or a child to choose between \"work or family\" is a direct attack against the basic right of every person. Moreover, such a choice does not exist: one cannot be put on the same level as the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Year of the Family is every year, even though, in particular, we are in this year Amoris laetitia Year<\/em>The family, for example, is part of a global reflection on the family and, in particular, on the Christian family.<\/p>\n\n\n This is also a time to reflect on how we value and respect my neighbor's family, that of my subordinates or colleagues....<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tM\u00aa Jos\u00e9 Atienza<\/span><\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n Certainly, it never hurts to reflect on the family. On ours, yes. To consider how we care for, value and respect each of its members. Also, this is a year to think about the family of others. A time to reflect on how we value and respect the family of my neighbor, that of my subordinates or colleagues... because perhaps, dragged by this hedonistic and utilitarian world we can fall into being one of those who, far from facilitating and proclaiming the joy of love and family, come to ask those around us to choose between work, livelihood, projection, leisure... and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So let us return to the place not only where we are from, but to the place \"that we are\", to the divine and human family of which we are a part, and let us do so with all its consequences. We have a year, or two, or rather, a lifetime.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" El lugar al que se vuelve. As\u00ed define el fil\u00f3sofo Rafael Alvira la familia.
