Our Weakness

        

       Family. Family is a word in a dictionary which many of us know but only few could know its true meaning and significance in our lives. The dictionary says family is a social unit consisting of one or more adults together with the children they care for. For some, a family is united by blood and those who are composed of a mother, father and siblings. But for me, one can be called a family not only because they have the same blood or they are composed of a mother, father and siblings. A family can be called a family simply if they love and care for each other. The composition and the blood that runs in the family is not regarded because it is not what matters most in a family. A family only regards the unconditional love the members of the family have for each other.

At this point in our lives, we may already know the importance of our family. Who would just love us when our friends or boyfriend/girlfriend just turned our backs to us ? Our family. All the people we may know can leave us but our family can’t. Instead, they comfort us and help us carry the lift in our shoulders. Advices and recommendations is what they give to help us in every problem. With that, we don’t have to feel alone because we have people caring for us- our one and only family. What our family treats us is what we will also be when we grow up. Our family will be a great influence and inspiration in our life as we mature and build our own family. By the experiences we have right now, we can use them as lessons and guides for us to make our own ideal family.

An ideal family may not be a perfect family for one to have. We could not wish for a perfect one- that’s too much. But at least, in an ideal family, you have loving and caring members of the family. Members that are always there to guide and support. One factor that binds up a family is love. If one wanted to have an ideal family forever, one shall let love reign than pride. Forgive even though it’s not your fault- it finishes the problem. Never let pride reign- it destroys an ideal family built by love.

Admit it, everyone’s weakness is their family. We could not stand our family being at risk. That’s just how they were so important to us. We could not return all the love our family has given us. But by doing our own little ways, they could be proud of us. When they see we are trying to build a good future, a way leading to an ideal family, our family becomes happy for us. For they know we will never go the wrong path and instead follow the words our family has given us. That’s just what they want- us to have a good life for our self. Besides, we do not know until when we can be with our family. Therefore, in every second in our life that we spend with them, let us let them feel the warmth of love and everlasting peace.
