"Family Love"

Why should you love your family?What is the point of having a relationship with someone solely because you have blood relations?I don't mean to insult anyone's relationship with their parents,or brothers,or even half-brothersand half-parents.But the fact is,sometimes people just don't get along.So what if that not-getting-along thing happens between blood relations?What then? Do you still love? Love isn't something you can force out of anyone,either.You can either love someone,or you can't.No way someone can be forced to love-its a ridiculous concept,really--forcing love out of someone.In the end,that person still won't love them,even if it seems like they complied to the peer pressure. I understand that sometimes family is functional;some families just work together well with little to minimal interference of harsh words or violence.I also understand that some families that are overly dysfunctional have a bigger oppurtunity for help from others in that the innocent children,the bystandards of the filth of human inhumanity and stupidity,have the ability and oppurtunity to go to a new home.None of this 'oh but I still love my parents' business,Honestly,they don't know what true parenting love is if they believe they 'love' their parents.I'm not buying it. The families that don't ever work out well,however,are the ones that never get front-page headlines in the newspapers,yet still have a lot of harsh words and even harsher realities facing the children.The younger generation ends up having to live by older,18th century generation guidelines,and are held back from society and their true ways by the same people that claim they 'love' their children who claim they 'love' their parents.It's ridiculous.Love is not forced,and neither does it flow through blood relations. It is earned,and when earned,it is respected.I can only hope my family will not miss me when I leave their ways forever...............
