what is your view about family?

to some, a family may just be a genetic relationship between a group of people known as the parents, the children and the siblings. some go through life, hating their fathers for not supporting the family or being angry with their parents for dictating their lives, or bitter about the favourtism shown to their siblings and ended up treating them as enemies or coming home to an empty house with family members living together (but not living their lives together), each busy with their own stuff and living in their own private space or some having only a father or a mother as their family member as a result of divorce or some having foster parents who have kids of their own but became their artificial family when their natural parents decided to forsake them.

why do i start with such a negative picture of a family? well, that's how most families in modern society are these days and that is why, all the more, we should not take our families for granted and we should be happy with the normal families that we have!

a supportive and loving family does not come naturally these days. The love required, the sacrifices to be made and the ability to recognise each other's uniquesness and roles in the family are missing these days. Although the natural bond is there, the natural affection that should come along with it is surprisingly lacking among families. perhaps it's the fast-paced lifestyle that have crowded and numbed our feelings, leading to communication breakdown or the variety of entertainment offered on TV or on game consoles or on the Net that stranded us from reality and responsibilities. whatever the case, the easy way out is to look for another group of people who will accept you, make you feel loved and share your interests. friends now take the place of the family (which is forsaken) to provide the intimacy that humans long for. yet, we dont realise that a friend (no matter how close) can never really stand with you through every thick and thin. only your family can... even though this may not be obvious to some until the most crucial moments... never ever give up on your family cos they will never ever give up on you...the blood is always thicker than water...

for me, i am still learning how to establish my own happy family... i have much to learn in being a father... i have much to learn in being a husband... and this learning will never end... :D
