I agree that man made relations are stronger. I've seen a saying on the internet several times, I don't recall the exact words but it was along the lines of you can choose your friends but you don't have a say in what family you're born into. I have blood relatives that I'm extremely close to but that's because we work hard to make sure our relationship flourish. Then there are other I couldn't care less about. Every relationship, be it blood or not takes effort to maintain.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑04 Sep 2020, 14:23I dissent with your statement. Yes, circumstances may propagate relationships to grow stronger between strangers, but those related by blood have a unique bond that engraved in love.anoushka_thakur wrote: ↑03 Sep 2020, 07:00 Sometimes relations built by humans flourish far better than blood relations. It all depends on our experiences and how we connect to other people in order to build that relation with them, just like in this book.Some experiences bind us more closely. So its safe to say that man made relations are stronger.

All of us spend our lives growing and changing, morphing into different people. The person you were to your family as a child, a teen, a parent, an enemy or friend, all of that is going to be vastly different.
The people that you make covenants with are the much stronger bond. You make them as the person you are at the time. Not some conglomeration of different versions of one person.
My own father is estranged from me. I made that choice, and stand strong by it. He may have helped give me life, but I do not owe him my time and effort for this.

I agree with this.B Creech wrote: ↑04 Sep 2020, 09:57 I think there are times they can be stronger, depending on a person's relationship with their family. I have had friends I made outside of family that have very strong bonds and lasted. However, I still believe blood will take precedence over man-made relationships in the long run.
The truth is, many times familial relationships are far from perfect and sometimes can be worse than bad. Irrespective of the feelings involved- positive or negative, blood is a tie that binds for all time.
So, yes, blood relationships definitely take precedence over man made relationships. No matter how much one tries to get rid of one's family, you can't shake them free. This is the way of it.
