Splitting off and Merging

Have you ever looked under a microscope and watched cells divide? I think of weddings as human cell divisions. Why not! It is a similar concept. Variation on a theme. Families, like cells, get to a mature point, and pieces split off and join split off pieces of another cell forming their own cell/family. In a human body, the parent cells must be healthy for the new cell to be healthy and for the rest of the organism to function normally. Diseases of different origins and types can come insidiously or quickly with trauma destroying the cell and then the organism, just as difficult times or weakness can destroy the individual and then the family. So it is better to maintain a healthy cell than to try to repair it later when the problem is recognized. Likewise, we need to work at keeping ourselves and our families healthy. Also, I see cells as being the fabric of the body, and families as the fabric of society. Just as there are different types of cells that go into the various systems within the organism, there are different types of families within society. They can be different but necessary and healthy. It is no wonder that when our homes (families) suffer or are destroyed, our society suffers. My socio-biological ramblings arrive at this conclusion. It is good to see children who have grown up loved and valued merge with each other, and it is good overall for the health and fabric of our society.
