You can choose your friends but you can never choose your parents, brothers and sisters because they are gifts from God to be loved and cherished.
The family is the best union ever. It is a union of love, joy, peace and happiness. This explains why people feel very comfortable whenever they are at home wether or not one is from a rich or poor family. No matter what one does, his/her family members will never abandone him/her.
How come do family members become enemies, how come do brothers/sisters develop much hatred for themselves to the extent of eliminating the other, how come do children become a threat to their own parents?
I am not referring to is the usual misunderstanding amongst individuals, but the hatred of not wanting to have anything in common with your own brother or sister or parents, to a point of wishing the person dead at all cost.
Children have insulted, beaten and maltreated thier own parents, brothers have imprisoned, abandoned and even killed their own siblings because of little misunderstanding.
Why should a child maltreat his own parents, why should a brother hate is own brother or sister? Where is that union that unites family together, where is that love and care that should exists amongst parents and children?
Obviously this hatred is as a result of money, wealth, affluence, jealousy, women, etc. Brothers who have been united all thier lives now feel they can no longer live under the same roof because they have made money.
A child becomes arrogant to his parents and siblings because he has become wealthy and influential. A man comfortable sends his parents and siblings out of his home because his wife does not want then around. Our parents become witches and wizards because of a lady we are interested in.
You call me your brother still, you plan my downfall and you never wish me good in life. We have become mean to our parents and all those who matter most to us because of power and wealth.
In all we achieve in life and no matter the position we attain, non can be compared to the love and oneness that exists in the family. Nothing can take away that special position of our parents, brothers and sisters. Family is blood and will forever remain.
What is your relationship with your parents and siblings, what is the cause of that hatred and disunity in your family, what is that, that makes you feel bad inside whenever you think of your family members?
Whatever the cause is, it is not worth the division and hatred, it is not worth the pain and torture you are going through. Relieve yourself off that bitterness by reconciling with your parents and siblings. Make peace with them because at the end, everything may go but family remains forever.
