Blood=Love?

I agree with this as well. I've learned to accept my family and I do love them on some level, but I love people now for who they are, how they treat me, what they're like inside, not just because we happened to share parents. I have some siblings who haven't given me the time of day for years. Others are thoughtful and nice. Other times close friends treat me much better than some of my family members so I tend to love people for who they are instead of anything else.

I agree and think that every person should be loved or not loved based on who they are. However, in most circumstances I do think you should love your family if if you do not LIKE them. Generally you should have a place in your heart that you love them you just may not like some of their actions, etc.

I agree with these. I am no longer in contact, by my own choice, with people on both sides of my family due to their behavior. I see people, both in my family and in other families, who act like total jerks because people excuse them for being family. Their family will just say "Oh, that's just the way he/she is". I think if family nipped it in the bud, and choose not to deal with these jerks like I do, they might change their uncalled for behavior.
