? should you be Obligated to your family members regardless of their Behavior

'There's one in every family'. this quote is mainly used to describe drug addicts and how there's one in every family. but you could also use it to describe relatives that constantly do foul shit.. there is crime all around us everyday and those commiting the acts are related to somebody.. now that concept can either give you hope, or scare the hell out of you.. I think it's a good thing though. family is where the heart is so for anyone needing proper rehabilitation the heart needs the most attention.. It's not only reserved to crime though. there is accepted racism within households on a daily basis as well. kids are looking the other way as they're parents make some of the most shameful comments known to man. i've had fathers looking at me crazy for dating their daughters, and it's just pure ignorance.. not to mention extreme acts of domestic violence that happens in homes.. As far as i'm concerned we're all here on this earth just trying to make it. no one is any better than anyone else and you meet people along your journey to help you get to where you eventually want to be.. Do you actually know the word family even means? well there are a couple of expressions i found from Merriam-Webster but the main concepts are a fellowship. household. a group of things related by common characteristics, etc.. but it didn't emphisize a group of persons of common ancestry or being born from the same blood line.. I don't play that blood is thicker than water shit personally.. the best thing God ever blessed me with has been great friends, and they are family to me. i see everyone that's related to me by blood or not, as the same.. we're all just people and i'm more concerned with what someone's soul is like. forget the physical. i've seen family members do worse things to each other than complete strangers, and that should never be tollerated.. When dealing with biological family I do believe they should get the first chance at the good you have to offer. but if they don't reciprocate, pray for them and move on.. So learn to accept people for who they are because the same blood line doesn't guarantee the same principles of living.. and remember that biological relation is not the definition of family... what do you think?
