Family Blood -N- Bleeding Family

Are relatives family? Or is someone who relates to your being, your existence, your heart, and your true essence family? Sometimes it takes a life of time to see what's not wanting to be seen when it comes to family; be it church family or your natural family. I pondered today after seeing such an insightful reality about people who say they love you; or how about this, people who even say they love. How do you love? Is it by gaining at the loss of others? Whose blood do we have on our hands? Is it the blood of those we selflessly love and carry their burdens, pains, and longings because we push daily to see them excel? Or is it the blood of those we have martyred because we couldn't live with the genuine love they showed us? Jealousy, hidden hatreds, darkened deceit, and plots for demise. Does the family blood bind us? Or does family bleeding blind us?
