That's a nice explanation. Sometimes our passions should definitely come before anything else.AlwaysWorthIt wrote:Faction before blood was the book as a whole. People rarely changed societies and therefore stayed with family for the most part, but those that did change left with what seemed like little reserve. In today's society we put a lot of pressure on family comes first, until the point where your family doesn't agree with something that you believe in and then it's beliefs over family. I'm a strong believer in family, but when family is not supportive as a whole, then we make our own family.

I agree with you on this one. Family can be closed minded sometimes on certain issues that you have to call it a day and go create a new family that will support you especially when there is no harm to others or self.?Swara Sangeet wrote:That's a nice explanation.

Families will and should support your passion, but it's very rare when they accompany you in it. For that, your own faction is necessary.Kiisme wrote:Personally I believe family should come first at all times however, with the way the world is operating today it seems as if who ever has the best price or is able to pay more has the upper hand at this point all moral and ethical concerns are now place on the back burner. However the final decision is up to the decision maker which we all have to face in our lives one way or the other.

I think it's bogus and unrealistic. Family is more important than any group you join and they always come first.

I totally agree with you on that. I wanted to answer almost the same thing but I am glad someone already did.Paliden wrote: ↑06 Jun 2014, 08:38 I agree. God first, family second. But then how do we define family? I think that is the question of "Faction before Blood". They are saying that if you belong in that faction, then you can't relate to your family members like you can to the other faction members. I know that when you go through trials and difficult circumstances (i.e. training), you form a bond with those people that in a way makes them family. I think the military is a good example of this in our day and age. You are trained that your brothers-in-arms are everything. It is ingrained into your core. And that isn't necessarily a bad thing. So I understand both sides of it, I guess.
