Believe that BLOOD is THICKER than WATER?

I do believe that in general blood is thicker than water. This usually applies to our own siblings though there are always exceptions to the rules. I have met families which stay to each other. They offer all forms of help to members facing difficulties. I myself find it hard not to do so if I have the means and ability to reduce any of my siblings sufferings. The least that I can do is to offer prayers for them. As for friends they usually come to us when we can give them something. True friends are hard to find. I have been cheated and taken advantage of by people who appeared to be close. They were actually after something I had and left me after they got what they wanted.
