Family is important. I don’t think we can do away with them. I understand that we all have different ideas of what a family means, based on our background and upbringing, but there is no denying the fact that family is important to our lives.

Family is a great support tool. When the chips are down, when every other person out there fail to believe in your dreams, they are the ones you can easily run to and would lend their support. There are times when outsiders wouldn’t want to tell us the truth, for the fear of losing us or our friendship, they are the ones we can trust to break the truth to us gently and loudly at the same time hahaha. They would let us know how things are and be honest with us anytime we erred. Family is really important.

A family loves you regardless. We have different personality in the house and we don’t always have the same character. Sometimes, we see a ‘black sheep’ in a home and you still see how they rally round just to make that person better. They wouldn’t wish death on such person, no matter how bad such a person messes up.

You can be very sure your love is never lost in a family. They know you so well and still love you. Family would readily go through thick and thin for you just to support your dreams. Have you ever seen how the love and arguments ensued when there are family gatherings? There is no pretense at all where family is concerned. I can’t count the number of times I have argued, screamed and shouted at my brothers, particularly the first born and you need to see how we laugh and relate right now. There are some things that happen at a particular age and there are some things you drop off when age sets in. Right now, I don’t think I can ever scream, shout or argue unreasonably with him anymore. You outgrow some things without necessarily forcing it.

Arguments and laughter goes hand in hand where family is concerned. You only feel hurt where love is involved. Would you ever be bothered about feeling hurt over what someone you don’t know did? When you are indifferent about someone, it is difficult for such a person to hurt you. Where there is love, then there is bound to be arguments.

I am speaking based on my idea of family and I know we have different views where this is concerned. The good part of a family outweighs the downsides and I would never trade family for anything. Family is important.
