You're not alone. I understand you perfectly. Our families were chosen for us, but we chose our friends ourselves. That's probably why many times, the love for family can feel more like its out of a sense of duty and responsibility. But many times, with genuine friends I've seen people ready to move the world for each other.AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑04 Sep 2020, 12:15 I am strong believer in found families. I am not sure how we grade what is stronger. But you know how you love some of your family members but don't like them sometimes, on the other hand, friends you chose you love and like. I don't know is that just me. I hope you understand my point.
Do you think free will man-made relations are stronger than blood relations??

I don't really agree with you here. Of course, there are families that genuinely love each other deeply, but friendship is even deeper. I get that blood relationship is unique in its own way, but the only way it trumps found families is if the members actually like and love each other and blood alone can't give that. I've seen countless family members that'll do anything to kill each other. The conclusion is this: found families are more genuine in their love, but when blood relations add genuine love to their blood connection, they'll blow any other relationship out of the water.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.

I agree. I think even blood relationships when worked on based on free will, or when they are destroyed and rebuilt based on a person's decision they become stronger.Maconstewart wrote: ↑04 Sep 2020, 20:46 It has been my experience that what you refer to as free will relationships are much stronger than ones based on blood ties. That may be unfortunate for me, but I find them more honesty based and steadfast. Free will relationships are based on some common thread, whether it be an interest or an experience. Blood relationships are built with peole you just happened to be thrown in a certain gene pool with. Sometimes that pool will drown you and the free will relationships are typically there to save you.

I don't think all man-made relationships require time. Some people feel like long lost relatives. Iagree with the trust, 100%. But I think that trust doesn't always need a long time to build.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑05 Sep 2020, 00:57The other issue with man-made relations is that they require time and trust. Blood ties grow naturally. In most cases, they do not require much time to build. Indeed, it's hard to break blood ties. If it happens, they also leave more sorrow compared to man-made relations.Kirsi_78 wrote: ↑04 Sep 2020, 14:32 Man-made relations can be very strong. I have a few such relations in my own life, from which I can say they are at least as strong as the blood relations. The problem (that is, if you want to see it as a problem) is that man-made relationships are easier to cut off. To my opinion, the bond with the blood can't really be cut off. In both types of relationships, it takes a bit of luck and a lot of hard work to create a strong relationship. Once it is there, it is a true blessing to one's life.

Free will relationships always travel long periods because they are formed with purpose, unlike blood relationships that are out of compulsion.Aishwarya Chhabra wrote: ↑03 Sep 2020, 05:30 Relations formed as a result of circumstances, attractions, similarities out of free will sometimes travel long periods of our lifetimes than our sometimes imposed closest blood relations. This is something that happened among the three- Kalayla , Maureen and Lena in KALAYLA .What are your opinions??
