It Is A Family Life...

Why do so many of us live our lives without any awareness of those around us? Why are there so many strangers and so few friends? Why do we work, shop, and do business without knowing much about those we are with? Could it be it is a family thing?
Could we be fallen Adam's house (from Genesis in the Bible) ignoring our lousy cousins who are just as full of sin as any other cousin we never met and do not know? Could it be we are such sinners we do not think any one would want to know us if they do not have to? Could it be we are inhibited by fear of how "bad" we have heard or learned others can be?
Could we be descended from a migration family descended from the original human inhabitants of Africa spread out into Europe and Asia and the Americas over the course of millennia? Could we have lost our family humanity by ages of war and hate too long ago to remember? Could a human family tree membership be the best kept secret of those who know?
Whatever story you believe of our origins, both the current popular timelines include a time with a smaller human population that were family, migrating and filling the Earth. We did not grow rooted to where the current populations of people with similar visual appearances are found. We did not simultaneously grow in Africa, America, Asia and Europe. According to those who teach us history, whether religious or evolutionary based, we are one big family sharing a planet.
I try, as much as possible, to live life more lucidly than I remember living the decades before I realized my life in Creation as an adopted child of God from His creative faculty exercise in creating life as we experience it every day. My life is full of estranged extended family members. There are no strangers, only distant cousins. There are no strangers ruining life, only family members misbehaving and making a mess of things because they do not care for everyone as family, or treat the earth as home, or have any human pride in the "world" we have made on the planet by our works.
It is difficult to believe but "those who know" in both religious and public education schools teach "we are family", and "it's a family affair"  (Google these quotes for two wonderful songs from when I was a child).
