    How important do you think family relationships are?Do you find it easy to respect and maintain them more or are friend relationships easier to handle?

    I personally look at family and friendships the same. Through out my journeys of trying to understand what life is, why people do the things they do, why there is good and bad, I come to learn that family or friends can hurt you. You wouldn't let your friends hurt you, so why let your family?

    It's up to each person to choose the importance of relationships to them. Also understanding the importance is something that needs to not go left misunderstood. You need to break down what you will define as important and create your priorities.

    Because I choose to treat them the same, it's very easy for me to maintain them both at the same time. I can't allow my friends to do something to me that I wouldn't allow my family, vise-versa. It could be an option that you put everyone on a certain level according to your own moral beliefs. Treat everyone the same. This alone will put you in a position that shows equality all the way around. Many people make exceptions for people they are closest to. I say no to that cliche. It's your decision to make, treat them both the same.
