We have the capacity to create a free and fair society. Notwithstanding our good fortune as a nation, wealth disparities are a threat to our civil society. We have enough resources to feed and shelter every American, but we have not yet done so because of our quarreling.
Despite the economic challenges we face, this country is generally wealthy and strong. Mere disagreement would be a gift in these times. Sometimes, we succeed despite the disagreements. Sometimes, our creative output is enhanced by interpersonal tensions. And not just families, but communities, and countries. But good fortune does not guarantee good behavior.ĭisagreement among families is the norm throughout Genesis, and perhaps throughout history. Joseph cautioned his brothers: “don’t be quarrelsome along the way!” One might think that the brothers would behave well, after recognizing their good fortune to find a savior in Egypt. Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers and sent them home to retrieve their father, Jacob. With a regional famine, Joseph’s family came to Egypt in search of food. After interpreting Pharaoh’s dreams he was appointed to government service. Joseph endured years of enslavement and prison. Jacob’s twelve sons were also contentious and violent toward brother Joseph, selling him into slavery in Egypt. We have a Jewish tradition of brothers quarreling throughout Genesis. Despite the conflict, the group excelled. Yet, the documentary reveals that brothers Barry and Robin were often at odds. The Bee Gees were gifted musicians and songwriters.
