Family

A happy family is essential to prevent children from making mistakes. We are divided, separated by work and technology. Even at home, family members are isolated in their rooms with televisions and computers. We must begin to create a happy family. One suggestion is to invite friends over once a week. Sit together, eat something, and speak. It does not require elaborate preparations; keep it simple. The goal is to create friendly, healthy, happy, and harmonious relations.

"Even at home, there are five family members, everyone has in their bedrooms their televisions and their computers, and again they are divided."

"Once a week invite all your friends to your home and sit together, eat something, and speak."

Filming location: Sydney, Australia

Another very important thing for us is to create a happy family. If there is no happy family and if the children have no good relation to the family, then those children may make some mistakes in the world. So we are divided slowly, slowly. We are separated. You are working. One is working in North Sydney, the other is working in South Sydney. The husband is in South Sydney and the wife is in North Sydney. Evening comes home, the husband is looking at the television, the wife goes to the kitchen. I don't know, do they do like this? I think so. After that, they look into the computer and the internet. So, even at home, there are five family members, everyone has in their bedrooms their televisions and their computers, and again they are divided. So now we shall all begin to create a happy family. Second, with this happy family, one suggestion is that once a week invite all your friends to your home and sit together, eat something, and speak. It must not be that you have to make many, many different kinds of varieties because you invite the friends and now you must make the cake and you must make this and that. No. Very simple. What is there is there. But the friends come together, sit there, speak there, create the relation, a friendly, healthy, happy, and harmonious relation with the friends.
