    This text focuses on the value of being "us" within the family. The feeling of being "us" enables individuals to establish healthy and satisfying relationships emotionally and socially. This feeling creates strong family bonds built on love, respect and commitment. It is emphasized that in our society, individuals have difficulty experiencing this feeling and often turn to selfish behavior. Cultural influences, especially competitive and individualistic approaches, make it difficult to be "us". The text states that setting personal boundaries, taking responsibility and establishing empathy are important steps towards becoming "us". Being "we" in the family brings with it many positive results such as commitment and trust, support and solidarity, empathy and understanding, growth and development together, values and traditions, happiness and peace, and problem-solving ability. Finally, by discussing text representation systems, it explains how visual, auditory, and kinesthetic representation systems affect the way people perceive and communicate with the world. He points out that understanding representation systems will help individuals communicate with each other better.
