When people come to
trouble it is better for both parties to come together, to talk it over and
find some peaceful way to settle.

Yes,
there is a long period of reconstruction ahead. We must take the lead. A remorseful
mumbling that we are sorry won't fill the bill at all. We ought to sit down
with the family and frankly analyze the past as we now see it, being very
careful not to criticize them. Their defects may be glaring, but chances are
that our own actions are partly responsible. So we clean house with the
family, asking each morning in meditation that our Creator show us the way of
patience, tolerance, kindliness and love.
