Why is a loyal friend is worth more than 10,000 relatives? I always thought there were 1 million relatives.

Friends are the family we chose for ourselves. They have more things in common with us like character , hobbies , way of thinking and etc...and that's why we like them more. With family , we have no choice but to stick around them. No wonder some of them move to somewhere else that is far from us. Relatives not necessarily love us and have patience for us or a good will. Friend most of the time do have it.

A loyal friend will always be there for you. It does not matter the situation, they will always have your back. Relatives are just people who share your blood. They may abandon you. A relative can also be a loyal friend.
