excessive criticism robs us of higher cognitive power / when we hear \u201cfamily life\u201d critiqued in sacred texts, think \u201caffection limited to one\u2019s own family, community or nation\u201d / 2 issues with family attachment \u2013 A. Seeing externals as our source of happiness, B. Limiting our affection to a small group / \xa0If I\u2019m compassionate only to members of my own family, \xa0can it be said that I am truly compassionate? / the religious focus on the faults in others, the spiritual see the good and magnify it
