The family system should offer chances for the family members to decide what should be done. The loss of imaginary boundaries between family members may cause problems. Stopping interference in others' personal issues is one reason for happiness. Flexible boundaries diminish conflicts, enhance good relationships, and reinforce respect. Micromanagement and harsh communication may turn family members into enemies. Unequal treatment of siblings or parental bias toward one of the children may also cause envy or rage. Empathy and compassion are the main sources of love between family members. During perplexing time, there is always an internal dialogue that directs the individual's personal behavior toward pleasures or perfectionism. Naturally, the response should have a balance between the desire of pleasure and correctness. Rage can turn sibling to wrongdoers. For example, the prophet Josephs half-brothers spoke to each other outdoors. "Joseph and his full brother are our father's favorites more than us, but we are a group of ten. Our father may have wondered mind. Let us kill Joseph or leave him into an unknown area. "Do not slay Joseph. If you want to do something, put him in the desert at an empty water spring, and he will be taken by travelers," said Joseph's half-brother. The travelers came, and their waiter dropped his container into the empty water spring, and said, "here is a boy." They sold him for a little money.
