A human being is a social creature and that is why they pair
up and form a family.
Once the children are born then sibling relationship comes
into existence and this depends on the family setup and how the parents raise
them up. Some siblings love each other so much to an extent of doing the
impossible for the other and in other homes the siblings don’t see eye to eye
with each other.
I am supposed to go for a family get-together next month and
I am still weighing the pros and cons of going and that is what we were
discussing about with a colleague when she told me about her family.
Eva surprised me when she told me that she is currently
living with her elder brother and his wife and what fascinated me is the way
they relate. Apparently he can take a trip to their upcountry home to visit
their mother without even letting her know and she is not offended. The following
weekend she will also excuse herself and take public transportation to see the
mother without also informing him of her where about.
The choices that people make also contribute to the sibling
relationship and those who opt to be criminals find themselves without a family
to their name. There are even cases where siblings become enemies and cut them
out of their lives because of inheritance or other family related issues.
When siblings are young the love is deeper and when they grow
up different things take priorities and time to just connect with each other
becomes so limited and the distance between them just grows and what is sad is
that they might end up becoming strangers.
