Mother Teresa on Family members:
Peace and war start within our own house. Let us start by loving our own family members. Familiarity breeds contempt and so sometimes it is hard for us to even smile at one other. It is easy to love those who live far away, but it is not always easy to love those who live right next to us. But Mother Teresa says we must love our family members.
For example:
It is easier to offer food to feed the hunger of a homeless person on the street, but it is difficult to comfort the loneliness of aging parents living with us, who do not feel loved.
