The Role of the Family
There are three parts to a family: The father, the mother, and the child or children.
Each one has it�s role. One cannot exist without the other, or the chain of connection is broken. The father represents the mental side, or the decision maker and enforcer. The mother represents the spiritual side, or the comforter and protector of right. And the children act as the physical side, or the listeners and doers of the family cycle.
All must act a certain way. The same as it is with beliefs, religions, governments, countries and "isms". They act as a body, or a family. Three is a group. A form of unity. Let us explain it with this example.
The Jedi believe in the New Republic, acting as servants and guardians of peace and justice to the galaxy. The Jedi look at the Republic as...their Mother and Father, taking charge of the family, keeping things in line. They provide the Jedi, their humble servants, duties, rights, and privileges in which they execute. For they will be just like them. This is the structure of the family...or, in this case, the unification of the galaxy.
Of course, as anything that happens with beliefs, religions, governments, countries, and "isms", the structure of the family can change...for better or for worse. Some of these ways a Jedi has foreseen and admire, as for how a role of a family works. We look for the family to be stable, and remain stable, for all to be happy, and for all to have a crucial position.
As you can see, it is very simple. And it is true. It remains balanced, and perfect. We, Jedi, all have a role to execute, and others, the ones that need our help, to be our guest and our employer, our overseer. The same as it is with The Force. It sees us while we execute our performance of life and what we are.
We are family.
