When it comes to figuring out the intellectual, creative or ideological depth one has, family is not the right mirror to look at. A family is not built to intellectually shape up or weigh its members. Giving a free hand to ideas and bringing the complexities of the outside World on to its platter is not organic to the architecture of a family. Family is a protective cartel where all the vulnerabilities and insecurities are laid to rest, and that do everything it can to sustain its genuine cohesiveness which is scarce in the outside World.

Different ideas embody fragmented individuals singing their own songs, and at times giving birth to rebellious streaks. To bring these fragments in conformity or to oneness is a skill a family is ignorant about, because family is not made by bringing fragments together, but it’s a union from the very beginning. So any will to express an idea, falls outside the ambit of a family and wins no seriousness at all.
