   |  I love my friends more than my family
I admit that I feel more love for my friends than for my blood relations. Is that wrong? I mean, I can't really get around helping feel this way. I choose who my friends are, but I don't choose who shares some of my DNA. I'm not saying that I loathe my family, by any means, but I don't necessarily see why I--or anyone else--is SUPPOSED to love our family as much if not more than our friends, yet I get that impression from our culture on a daily basis. It seems very basic and primal, that family is supposed to be so important...but what if you just don't care as much about your family as your friends? I do love some of my family members, but in a rather generic way...and towards the rest, I just feel indifference; they're just people I happen to know. So why do I feel like it's morally wrong of me to feel this way?
