Although we all live in this world of Practicality but if you go beneath of every instance some or other way it has been proved that your family will always stand besides (irrespective of situation) you rather then friends. But there is no thumb rule that can validate that your even if most of the good times you have is with your friends. Only the truth is no matter how good your friends are, none of them will ever be as concerned about you as your family.No matter whether one like their parents or not, but they will always be an intrinsic part of you, wherever you go, whatever you do. You are genetically connected to your parents (you share your blood with them) and therefore, your family will always put your well-being before anything else. Remember that even the best of your friends will have families of their own. Given a choice between friends and family, they will choose family because in a family, you are pampered and loved enormously more than your friends ever will. Your family especially your parents are always ready to sacrifice everything for your sake. Their love is unconditional. They never expect anything in return, except your presence in their lives, and your love and support in good times and bad. Your friends, on the contrary, will have a tendency of avoiding you when you are in misery – it is only natural human inclination. There are a very few people on earth who stand with you always and support you in everything you go through. You may argue that your friends are with you always and have supported you no matter what. But remember, your family has been doing that even when you had not made the friends in question. They will continue to do that, irrespective of how you behave with them, whether you fight with them or whether you insult them. The same, however, cannot be said about your friends.Your family will never back stab you. But there is a high possibility that some of your friends may.No matter how good and supportive friends you have, the truth is they will never know you the way your family does. Your family has been seeing you since your birth, even before you learnt to wear masks for the society. Your friends will be biased by the image you consciously or unconsciously portray of yourself. You are never truly yourself even with the best of your friends. But you cannot hide everything from your family.
