life entwines uniquely
LIFE ENTWINES UNIQUELY
People are not like iron filings that are magnetized by continued exposure.
Proximity to consciousness or to awareness, even within one's family need not make each member so.
Similarly as genetics does not assure that a champion will breed champions, neither can genetics assure that anyone's offspring will be wise and virtuous like their parents.
Nature must entwine with nurture; time must entwine with space; one's brain must conjoin with one's heart; one's soul must sync with the Holy Spirit, then all must interact with the other in the algorithms of life in order to make you, me, we, us, ad infinitum. Each droplet is unique.
