As topic says, what is your stance?
I have more or less lived by this for all of my life and I'm about to can this shit in the trash.
Are there any good reasons, really good reasons, why the bar of expectations concerning human behavior should be lower for relatives?
Also, drunk thread.
Everything is energy. You feed it to your family you're feeding it to yourself. You feed it to others and it's lost for good, to the detriment of your family and yourself.
Strangers aren't friends.
Friends aren't family.
All relations aren't family either.
The ideal family is a group which always gives as much as it takes to the seclusion of others. No different to first aid, protect yourself first. A family is a unit stronger than its individual parts. See nations/religions as they mimic what we should do naturally.
Will be cutting a parasitic sister out of my family very soon. Both her and her husband are very similar to functioning sociopaths so they're gone. Not all relations are family, lucky I found out sooner rather than later, could have been unconscious in hospital with them as power of attorney.
Simple rule that counts for everyone-would they do it for me? If no I say no. On the flip side never except from others what you wouldn't give.
Never think friends are family. They're less likely to truely be themselves as they have less bonds to lean against.
If you remember all people are parasites you'll only be pleasantly surprised.
Get off the piss. Not as bad as other drugs but it always takes more than it gives and you always end up worse off.
