celebrated yesterday at Holy Family extolling its virtues, even from a historical point of view we have no reliable information. We proclaim the triad of Nazareth as a perfect family, but we can hardly identify with something perfect . After all, few of us were welcomed, loved, protected, educated by a father and a biological mother as was Jesus. When this occurs, absenteeism, violence, authoritarianism, dropouts, discrimination brought forth by parents and brothers leave their indelible marks on body and mind. What family is this, anyway? Which, of Nazareth or ours? The first super-idealized, but unrealistic. The second, contradictory, imperfect, but real, concrete historical. This is ours! Still, we continue to repeat to ourselves and the world that the family of Nazareth is the true: Dad, Mom and little children loved. This family model imploded many decades in the West and the East. The reduction of social control of moralistic, changes in work / economy in which women took an active way, the pan-sexualization of inter-personal disputes and rivalries that are social embedded and reproduced in scope 'family', the end of the persecution of people with diverse sexual orientations and specific, the growing disappearance of forms of family solidarity grounded in blood, cronyism, reciprocity, and many other elements to the emergence of numerous forms to be 'family'. Regardless of cultural legacy and consolidated.
The challenge for the human being that comes through even choosing to organize forms of social cohesion, club, cohabitation of all kinds is whether there is still room for feelings and emotions. If our social and family structures still believe and can provide acceptance, protection, tenderness, love and why not .... its members, or the sophistication and the growing individualism of the forms of social cohesion 'these things' are nothing more than obsolete elements. Unable to answer the true wishes 'human'. The human future. If you are 'things we corny and igrejeiros' or dimensions that carry the full human being. Personally I have done my choice. The 'bug man', ie, a hominid species to survive and ensure a balanced future for themselves and the environment that keeps him alive it needs love. No matter if offered by a couple of different sex, or even by an uncle or grandmother, for an older brother or a godmother, a 'stranger or a neighbor. " The ability to offer love, protect, care for, to be close, lead by the hand and sit on someone's lap is still output to the planetary family. Will not be perfect as of Nazareth, but will rise to more than monsters and that is not self-destructive.
