We are the Kisinas: biographical essay: the reduced edition

Abstract

It was centuries ago when families lived in one village, where they came to this world, grew up and found their place in life, died and were buried at a rural cemetery. Nowadays we live in the age of urbanization and globalization. Everything has changed since that time: traditions, customs and dispositions. Not without reason the songs are sung about children who left their homes, who are ‘‘waited and waited’’ by their aged mothers. How important it is not to get lost in this huge world, not to lose your roots, because not only a tree dies without its roots. A person who is not interested in his near and distant relatives is also wrong, so that the family threads are teared apart.
