Friends VS Family- The better of
the two
Family makes the first move, just
like they do in the average child’s life, but friends are not far behind.
Friendship gives family a damaging blow with their acceptance but family
strikes back with constant support. It looks like a close one guys! Stay tuned
to see who will win in this never ending battle of these two superpowers!
In all our lives we have two main
spheres of socialization, our friends and our family. Both these groups tend to
be equally important to us and are constantly at war for our attention. Is one
group more important than the other? Some, or rather most might say that
definitely your family is more important than your friends, because your family
has been with you since the beginning of time. But in my opinion they both
enjoy equal statures simply because your families are people who due to their
blood relations with you, on some level have to accept you whereas your friends
are just random people you happened to have met who like you because of you.
They have been charmed and swept of their feet by nothing but your personality,
or at least we’d like to believe that. I think it’s sad that we live in a
society where friendships take a back seat.
Our relationships with our
friends are treated as frivolous and expendable. It’s not uncommon for us to
hear things like you can skip that out going with your friends and stay home
with your family, after all your family is more important.
Now you also have to understand
that your family too wants your time and attention and they believe that
because you are related to them by blood and that they will always be there for
you, they command more importance. They feel that friends come and go, but they
will remain. They are strong believers that only they truly have your best
interest at heart, no one else is capable at treating you the way they do. And
I mean you can’t blame them, most families are strong protectors of their
members. They support each other both financially and emotionally.
