There is enormous dignity in a primitive society and under the surface, there's a hell of a lot to the fact that you are a grandmother. In the next stage of social development, the father enters the game. In our civilization, the more it developed, the mother's importance lessened and she assumed an equal position with the father. In the beginning of society there were brother and sister marriages. Finally, a group where people were not related, became a country.
Primitive desire is to maintain the family relation.
The endogamous libido is not satisfied and is seeking application, that secret dissatisfaction is always trying to establish the original family relationship. Onkel went on to speak of the middle-ages. How the convents attempted to establish the original family relation on a spiritual level. This original family which they established was a great satisfaction for a time, and these 'families' were the carriers of civilization. But, he said, it petered out just as the idea of Christian love did.
