WHAT "CIVILIZATION" / "FAMILY" LOOKS LIKE

1. Lives squarely in the midst of the least of these
2. Expert at suffering out of love for the joy of it
3. Teaches / leads their children to do the same as though their children's lives depended on it - because they see that their lives do depend on it
4. Expert at taking and savoring just the R & R that each NEEDS [not more, NOT LESS] for the sole purpose of keeping the level of emergency service at maximum throughout the lifetime. "It is not more vacation we need - it is more vocation." Eleanor Roosevelt. Also from Eleanor: "When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die."
5. Aggressive at recruiting exactly as the best nurse or Dr. in an emergency "recruits" / brings / exhorts / collects / carries... people to health
6. Lives as though Love, Life and Truth are more the essence of Life than Pulse Itself - because they are.
