Family is the most important thing in life

People put much value upon different things, for

example, money, freedom, friends, etc. But it is often stated that family has

to be on top of all things.

In my opinion, it is really true that family is the

most important thing in life. First of all, it gives birth to you as a human

being and a personality. It is your primary environment where your thoughts,

habits, behaviour patterns are formed. If you are a successful person, you owe

it to your mother and father. In addition, family ties are the strongest, even

though related people can live far away from each other. You may have a large

circle of social contacts consisting of friends, colleagues, neighbours,

acquaintances, but in need it is your mother or father, brothers or sisters who

race to help you out.

But there are people who downplay the significance of

family. They show preference for other things, mostly for money. They believe

that money talks on our planet that is why they spend more time to acquire wealth

than to take care of your family.

Nevertheless I cannot support the opposing opinion

because no matter how much wealthy you are, you cannot buy a new mother or

father. People pass away and never come back, but money is a revolving stuff.

Today you loose, tomorrow you win again. Relatives are lost forever.

To sum up, I would like to refresh memory about an old

wisdom saying that blood is thicker than water. Blood means your family ties, water is everything else.
