Is it red or is it white? Is it blood whose ties lie deeper or is it the invisible bond between individuals which is stronger?? The thread that ties both these bonds is off course the ubiquitous LOVE.
While fables are made out of friendships which stretch beyond the realm of the realm, its surprising to see the blood relation going largely uncelebrated. The only exception to this could possibly be parents. The care of a sister, the sweet pestering of a younger brother the protection of an elder brother is something every human would never let go. While I strive to stay clear out of the debate as to which is stronger I wonder whether the bond of blood has not got its due? While you choose your best friends you never choose your cousin neither can you decide who will be your uncle??
As I think about Mahabharatha, the immediate thought that comes across is the mythical friendship between Sudama and Krishna. On another hand we have our favorite hero murdering his uncle!!Possible this epic set a precedent for trends to follow.
For a person starved for relations for the majority of his childhood I do believe the bond of blood is as strong as any. Although I would steer clear of comparing it with anything else for the simple inhibition of not getting into a topic which has a potential to be really dig deep into..
