Compare Neighbor and Family

                 I live in a high end subdivision somewhere in Cabantian. I am a friendly person but that doesn't mean I get out in my house frequently and greet my neighbors. In fact, i do not know any of my neighbors. To the top of that, we don't have any neighbor in the back., right, left, and even across us.

                Generally, I could say that there are differences and similarities between my family and neighbors. First, my family is in my blood. Whether I like it or not, I can never choose family. But I could choose whose neighbors to talk to. Another, family is the one who supports you and gives you all the basic needs in life and all you wanted in life--education, shelter, love, care, clothes, food, financially. Blood is thicker than blood. When you'll be sick, it's not your neighbor who will attend and nurse you. It's always your family.

              It's funny how I could describe it like neighborhood is not necessary. But it is. Neighbors are the one who helps. We didn't realized it but we're always watching each other's back. Neighbors has a big impact in the process of molding ourselves. They are there to guide and tell you what is right. They even tell what's acceptable so you could avoid judgement.


              Neighbors are still your family. It's just that they are secondary.
