Maintaining An Extended Family Life

Fundamental differences in opinions can sometimes cause the relevant parties to behave abnormally when in each other's company, often fuelling the flames of distain. It is thus critical that, when parties are family, adversarial opinions must not be discussed if such an outcome is likely. Rather an attitude of generosity and patience must be portrayed. We cannot expect that we should all do things the same way, nor that our way is the right or only way. Alas, our own company would be somewhat boring after a sustained period, and this would be all we would have to look forward to.
