In a very secular society, all virtue seem to disappear sometimes. There is very little “right or wrong”, there is confusion and the disappearance of traditional values.

Well, I am very traditional in some ways. You know I am a family man, I truly love my wife, and strive everyday to make my little family work.

It has come to the point, where there is a certain balance. In the beginning, it was very difficult, we had no money, and little support. But now after six years, it is getting better. We can pay our bills, there is even a little left after the bills are payed.

Some of the conflicts there were so much in the beginning are not there anymore. Now we do truly support each other, and we can relax. Mind you, this is not perfect, far from. We still have our grievances, as all families have.

But, at the end of the day. It works, we are happy with our little family.

Today, there are many answers to the happiness of life. Go down to any bookstore, and there you will be presented with a myriad of advice; eat healthy, go jogging, make a good career. But what truly matters, that is family and friends, few books are written about.

Why dont we have a good and serious book about how friendship works? Or a good book about the happy family, supported by spirit?

Why dont we, those who are supposed to be the caretakers of family and friendship talk a little more about it?

The gospel of joy.

Why dont we realise, that goodness leads to happiness. If we spread that idea or thought, then we would win over the sceptics and the naysayers. We could say, we could or could not believe in G-d. But there is an idea that we do believe in, and that is that we have to be good and supportive people.

Goodness and care taking, is a moral imperative, we should do that a little more. We should not be naive, and have our goodness be abused, but we should do as much good as we can.

G-d bless the home of families and friends.
