What is this referring too and is it accurate? Many may be thinking,
duh blood is thicker, just like syrup is thicker than orange juice (only thing
coming to mind…don’t judge). But for this I am looking at it from the
perspective of relationships and bonds we form with others. When it comes to
this analogy of bonding, some believe it applies that the bond with family is
stronger than those outside, such as friends. Others feel it refers to the bond
one has with both family and friends; then there are those who consider this statement
relates to anyone they are close too, and does not need to include family.
In my personal opinion I feel the latter. To me, those who
are there for me no matter what, accept me for me and there for me through all
my ups and downs determine who I consider to be in my blood group. Personally
most of the people in my blood group are a select core group of friend(s), my
sister, and maybe a second family member. The remaining majority of my family
is water and I can do without them in my life. As cold as this may sound, we
all have certain people we feel this way about, mine just happens to include some
family. Now I like to take this a step further and have a group of friends/acquaintances
that I am close to, not blood theory type, but also not in my water group. I’ll
call them my blood thinner group, they are the ones I socialize with see every
now and again while enjoying their company, but do not share any intimate or
personal life information with them like I do my blood group.
Our relationships are like circles and those closest to us
usually try to protect us, so just as you would pour a circle of blood then
water outside, the blood would prevent most if not all of the water from
penetrating. That is why it is so important who we choose to trust and allow
into our inner circle [blood group].
Until next time!
