I think family is more important than friend,because through family we find ourselves as we give and receive support.Family brings out the best and worst in each of us.It is also the first place for us to learn to love others and ourselves.There is a connection there that binds us and asks more of us then we are normally willing to give.When we are true to ourselves and follow our feelings and share openly and honestly with our loved ones we remember why family is important.And we are well rewarded for our sacrifice as it enables us to better appreciate who we are.On the other hand,when we yield to our selfishness and take our family members for granted or treat them poorly we lose our sense of self-worth and begin to despise those whom we once loved.
