One of the greatest aspects of humanity is that we are all interconnected, both as dwellers of the world and as spiritual beings. People are able to connect with each other through communication on a small scale, and in the larger scheme, as beings searching for their life's purpose and love. In this search for love, many people bond in ways that transcends both time and space. Some have to endure the tumult of separating and reuniting in order to find the love that can transcend generations. While karma can bring two people together after separation, it is important to realize that people often have a tendency to try to make bonds hold that were meant to be broken.

When it came to traveling, her sister was forced to do all of the driving, whether they were trips to the hospital, or trips to visit relatives of her husband. She soon separated from him, and it seemed as if she would be divorcing him soon. She spent more time with the family, she was able to go more places without him, and to her sister's knowledge, was enjoying life without bad attachments.
