But they are also more.

And if you miss the more, you miss so much else. In fact, you then miss the essence of what is taking place.

A Common Story That Readers Tell Me  

A reader recently told me a common story: he had been told by a member of his extended family — his sister — that there will be no more family gatherings for him and his immediate family until he, his wife, and kids get vaccinated.

After many months of that manipulative way of thinking being used to create a schism in the family, that reader's sister called him and said he and his family were invited for the upcoming family gathering, but with a catch.

"I would like to invite you for a holiday celebration. You don't have to be vaccinated, but you have to test."

If you only see this as an issue of biology and an issue of medical preferences, you miss the spiritual aspect of what is taking place in an exchange like that.

If You Stay Stuck On Property Rights, You Miss The Rest & It Is So Important 

And if you are stuck on the topic of property rights, and will not move beyond them, you too miss the spiritual aspect of what is taking place. Yes, of course the sister has the right to do what she wants on her property and to make whatever stipulations she wants, but having the right is not enough to make that behavior right.
