Previously in families class, we learned about basic functions of family. I mean, this was really a long time ago but yeah, it just got to me. We were supposed to list down what a family is mainly made of. Most of us had the father mother children house pets love and all those other general things which actually does not necessarily make up a family. We were all wronged about our perceptions on a family. So, our teacher significantly pointed out the word Bloodline, or blood relationship in our posters too. She asked us all, "what does blood means to you?" "is blood really thicker?" You know how we always put family obligations first, and it's family over anything, or family first.
YET,
we are all humans. We breathe, we have brains to think, we have feelings, we act following our intuitions and instincts and we actually have full control of what we want to do. Except, our environment forbids us to most of the time. (Laws, Climates, Health, Etc.) We are thought to be civilized and brought up with state of the art education. STILL, blood in actuality means nothing among families. Who says your sister, father, mother, brother, aunt, or grandpa can't kill you, if they want to? Haven't we all heard the "I hate my family, or my parents suck, fuck that little bitch!" or something equivalent? How can we possibly be made to believe that blood relationships are thicker, it does not even necessarily mean a family.
It gave me quite a scare last time when my teacher explained this to us. I mean, how could most of us not realize that at the end of the day, we're individuals with our distinct personality. Love your family, stay home!
:P
