“It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons.”
Johann Schiller
The world is so big that sometimes we cannot handle everything. However, for me, the whole human society is a big family that everyone should take care of and love other people as they always do to their family members. I believe that this big family, if living together peacefully and harmonious and helping others, can together get over any disasters that ever happen to the world.
Family is always a sacred definition for all of us as it, the definition, has grown bigger as they get older. Therefore, treating others as family members can help them get through the toughest time in their lives. There was a time when my present best friend had troubles with her family. She felt lost whenever she got back to her home because she thought her parents did not really care about her. This pushed her to the lowest point of her mood. She cried almost everyday and began to hate everything around her. She cried when she saw someone’s dad picked him up. She cried when her parents ignored her. As a friend of her, I could not let her feel depressed like that, so I hugged her tightly and said that she could lean on my shoulder whenever she felt weak, and that I could be her sister from then on. I helped her to get over her problems, one by one, and told her to find an invisible rope that connected her to her family to hold on and not to let go of it. I made her believe that a family, although she wanted it or not, was still a family, and someday it could lift her up more than anything else could do. I felt so relieved when she finally got her balance back and figured out her problem. Since then, I have realized that the best way to help someone getting along with his family is not taking them apart but bringing them together. Furthermore, treating other people as your family members will warm their hearts no matter what states they are in. This urges me to love others more, help them get through their tough times, and make connection between people so that no one would ever feel lost in the middle of the crowd again, because the human society will be a big family.
Family has no border. Everyone is a family member of another’s, so that we should be sympathy for others’ pain and loss. Three years ago, when I was doing community services, I visited a house for those who have intellectual disabilities. They were children who had Down’s syndrome. I knew they would never have lives like we do, as they could not develop in a normal way, both physically and mentally. However, I knew that there was one thing they had that was as normal as anyone else’. They had families, and, therefore, they knew how to love their families. I played with them, talked to them as I always did to my younger cousins. I spent my whole day there hoping that I could always see smiles on their faces. I also brought some my old teddy bears for my younger ‘sisters’ and ‘brothers’. I still remember the moment that we had to leave, one young boy ran to me, smiled and said tentatively: “Come … back”. I was speechless for a while, as I did not expect this to happen. At that time, I knew I was somehow a part of his family, though temporary or forever. I did visit him a few times after that day, and I still miss him as my unlucky younger brother. Sometimes, a family can be a big compensation for people’s personal loss, and having someone strange treating them as a family would lift them up.
No! I do not believe that it’s blood ties that make us family. I believe that it’s the love within our hearts that brings us together as a family. Because people are born with empathy, the human society is a big family that can never be broken.
