sympathetic to strangers than our loved ones?" It is unfortunate
but common in the world of the creature that 'familiarity breeds
contempt." From spouses, siblings to co-workers, it is more likely
that our mechanics and features become entangled - from this
comes pleasures as well as pains. Patterns are developed and
attitudes become crystallized between familiars. The once
beautiful car we bought is now ordinary, as you get accustomed
to it.
The English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley reminds us, "Familiar acts
are beautiful through love." It is only through the soul - the bridge
to divinity that we are given the grace to overcome our basic
inclinations.
