In a sense, in the area of child care, children's relationships with parents' working has come full circle. we have gone from the mom-and-pop store (or mom-and-pop farm), with its integration of child care and work, to children-at-home and dad-at-work; to the mom-plus-daddy working at home, with its integration of childcare and work again. from mom-and-pop back to mom-and-pop.

My mom always said that she didn't wear a red nose and big shoes because that's the reason people are scared of clowns. my dad is a sociology teacher, so he probably figured that out with her. those are the things that are exaggerated, that don't give off the signals of humans. you know, if you draw a picture of a circle and ask somebody to feel empathy with the circle, they won't. but if you draw literally two, three dots inside the circle, like two eyes and a nose, you immediately feel empathy.

The universe is circles within circles, and everything is one circle, and all the circles are connected to each other. each family is a circle, and those family circles connect together and make a community, and the community makes its circle where it lives on the earth. it (the community) cares for that part (of the earth) but cares for it as a circle - which is to say in a cooperative and egalitarian way, where everybody is cared for, and everybody is respected.
Circles Community Together
Each of the parts of philosophy is a philosophical whole, a circle rounded and complete in itself. in each of these parts, however, the philosophical idea is found in a particular specificality or medium. the single circle, because it is a real totality, bursts through the limits imposed by its special medium, and gives rise to a wider circle. the whole of philosophy in this way resembles a circle of circles. the idea appears in each single circle, but, at the same time, the whole idea is constituted by the system of these peculiar phases, and each is a necessary member of the organisation.
