We can change many things, but we cannot change our family ties

We change many things like clothes, shoes, bags, and other personal things, but we cannot change our family ties; they remain stronger with love. But if you have a lousy family, there will be no strong ties, and perhaps it will gradually be broken.
However, the fact remains that we truly love our family, no matter how disorganized it is sometimes. Only a very few have family ties shaky, but the majority are intact and living in harmony. Do you?

You’re right—we change a lot of things in life like clothes, shoes, or even where we live, but family? That one sticks. We don’t get to pick them, and sometimes that’s not easy. Some families are a bit of a mess; others are super close. It really depends.
But even when things aren’t perfect, there’s usually still love in there somewhere. Most of us still care, even if things get a little complicated. And for a lot of people, family is where they feel most at home.

@cacay1 A family that never gives up on a lost member will eventually help them recover and realize that all they need to thrive is the love and support of their family. A family should always be understanding and caring toward anyone who has lost their way, helping them find the right path to live a fulfilling life.

@rsa101, You are absolutely right. I've seen messy families. Some are as if they don't need a family. They are ok even if a person isn't there. I wonder how. How they are ok with this.

@abhi_bangal Despite all the turmoil, a family should always be the first to guide their loved one toward the right path. They are the ones who can truly help during difficult times, as others might not be as supportive and could even push them away. A family must stand by, offering gentle support and encouragement to steer them in the right direction.

Very very rightly said. There are a whole lot of things we can change. But not family ties. God has sent everyone of us with parmanent ties with some particular people. They are forever. There's no option to change. That's a "read-only" file.
But we can change other relations like friends, acquaintances, and neighbours.
