Is it possible to treat people who have no blood relation to you, as your brother or sister?
Yes absolutely.I will tell you my storyI moved to bokaro for my +2 studies from my hometown after my 10th and had a very tough time settling in as it would be for any 15 year old kid moving out of protective layer of home.But thanks to a neighbour of ours(from my hometown) who were already settled in bokaro and with whom our family had very cordial terms with. They never let me feel that I was away from home with their receptivity.Tough I lived I a PG,every Fridays after my tutions i used to drop by their place cycling 10km and my aunt used to keep the bournvita ready knowing that I would be tired.My didi used to cook the very delicious chicken and my brother (aunt's son,we were in same school) and i used to enjoy the weekend like hell at their house whom I had no blood relation with,and over the course of 2 years i had became an integral part of their family.Looking back i feel privileged to have found such fatherly guidance, motherly love and sibling's affection under one roof without any blood relation.From them i learnt this great lesson to value human relation be it blood or non blood.I myself have 4 cousin sibling,but never ever do i think of them as not being my own brother/sister. I know that this feeling might fade or die down with time but i will try my best not to.
Are blood relations very important in life? To what extent can we compromise to maintain the relationship?
Yup, blood relations are the most important relations in life. Except for a few rare cases, they are the most genuine and purest form of bonding.Misunderstandings can happen anywhere, we need to compromise with our ego to sort out things. The level of compromise can't be decided, there doesn't exist any limiting point. So everything needs to be decided on the basis of our maturity. Everyone has their own perception and opinion for different situations. Relationships need to be handled with care, trust, understanding, love, sacrifices, compromises and patience. What we expect from others, we also must return them with interest.
Does blood relations include husband n wife?
Being married does not make two people blood relations. If two people have a biological child together, that child shares genes with both parents -- each parent contributed to the child's genetic makeup. Therefore, that child is a blood relation of it's mother and of it's father. If the parents have a second biological child, both children will be blood relatives of one another (and to their parents). Now, if I married my brother, we'd be husband and wife and blood relations...but we'd be blood relations because we're siblings, not because we married. Blood relations are people who are related by blood or by *origin* -- so people with shared ancestors are blood relations. Hope that helps.
Why do people insist that blood relations are so important?
I have often wondered the same thing. We don't like each person we meet through the course of our lives, why do we feel so much pressure to not only like but to LOVE our family? I have some family members who are just about as flipped out as you can get and I don't feel bad because I don't care for them. I think it's cultural and we've been conditioned to think we need to love our family. We've been so conditioned to love them that we take more abuse from them than we EVER would take from our friends! Think about it, stop yourself sometime when you're dealing with family in certain situations and think ,"Would I say these things to my friends?" or "Would I accept this treatment from a friend?" Chances are we would not...............
Is friendship better than blood relation?
I think this is subjective, depends upon experiences,etcThere are numerous cases in which blood relations(parents,siblings,grandparents, uncles,aunts) are more important and vice-versa.When parents are working, single child then for him/her friends maybe more important and close to heart.However, for an introvert child his/her parents or siblings maybe more close.There's a saying you can choose your friends but not family members.But no one can replace family too.In my case, i can't categorise who is better, family or friends. Both are equally important to me.I hope this helps. Thanks for A2A
Is it true that all relationships in your life are for selfish reasons?
Not all relationships are selfish. A mother gives up all her comfort for her child, a father spends his hard earned money selflessly to mould his child into a better person. A husband works day and night for her lovely wife and she pours all her heart to keep him happy.But this hardly follows in young generations where the defination of love is highly influenced by Bollywood. Where even a 10 year boy/girl feel like they found their true love. They grow up, get to know the real world and here comes the heart- break ( ouch!), realizing reality is far away from silver screen. After stupitidy followed by lust then comes maturity where we understand love doesn't happen, no its not love is a commitment and commitments dont go well with selfishness. And hence the answer, you fall into love secreatly , you observe him/her till you satisfied then you love selflessly. Otherwise its just lust and attraction and curiosity to explore which sooner or later you find selfish.P.S. - I am truly deeply not madly But. In love with you ma'm. Rest assured.
Friends lose touch, spouses separate but blood relations between parents and siblings are mostly never broken - even with conflicts and lack of nurture. Why are blood relations so much stronger than other relationships?
Thanks for the A2A.The relationship you have with your family is your first true relationship, and your first contacts in an alien and dangerous world. For the first few years your life is dependent on your family and you literally cannot live without them. This bond carries through partly because you have an obligation to take care of your parents as they age, in the same way as when you were young, and you have a strong innate desire to protect those who are the reason for your existence.The family is also (generally, though some exceptions exist) trusted more than non-blood relationships because the older members of the family have a biological need to protect the younger, as their survival is crucial to the passing down of your genetic code (albeit a slightly watered down and modified version).
