Meaning people who understand the value of family do contribute more to their society and in turn to Mother Earth, which they consider as extended family. They learn the qualities of tolerance and sharing from family members, they understand the meaning of diversity. This proverb inspires us to respect the space of each individual in the family. Family is the microcosm where one identifies the very inherent worth of life, explores the spirit of caring and sharing and discovers the spirit of interdependence and peaceful coexistence. The consciousness raising process begins at home which disseminates into seeds of hope to the larger family home, contributing to the welfare of Mother Earth.
