Quote
...In today's culture, a provocative and unsettling idea runs directly counter to [the instinctive desire to belong]. We could call it the waning of belonging - the growing assumption that in order to remain completely free and unshackled, no one should belong to anyone else. Children don't belong to parents; husbands don't belong to wives; nobody belongs to anybody. Thus many today honestly wonder whether the bonds or kinship and marriage are valuable ties that bind - or sheer bondage.Share
