- Mom, Dad
- Relatives
- religion
- Country
- language
- culture etc.
But none of these things are selected by the baby. Most of the time, these things come according to karma, that's true (That's a different story).
So when that little child grows up, the child starts to understand some things. The child starts to feel feelings like love, care, true lies, pain, and happiness...
At the same time, little by little, kids mix with society. Meanwhile, relatives are the biggest and main social system a kid is exposed to. It is more common in Asian countries.
So that section called "relatives" is a very strange creature (not in all families). First and foremost, let me state that I am writing from personal experience. But some of my friends that I know have great relatives.
Among them, the blood relatives that I inherited from birth are amazing in a negative way. I think that those people really think we also died completely after my mother's death. If I wanted to be with them, I should have offered things to them (money, gifts, etc). But I was not able to do so. That's why they didn't have any good relationships with me.
But.. I'm really happy about it.
There is something I always believe in.
"There are two kinds of deals in this world: GIVE and TAKE. Many times, people give us something, expecting something from us in return. Simply put, it means they are hoping to get something from us. That means many relationships are built on the foundation of deals."
But...
"Some relationships are built based on only giving. If you have only one such relationship, you are very lucky, because many people in this world are not lucky enough to have such relationships. "
In my life also, I selected relatives who are like that. That means I am really lucky. They are not related to me by blood. They are none of my biological mother's or father's relatives. But they are my relatives. They are 'REAL HUMANS' in the truest sense of the word. They are the people who believe in me more than I believe in myself, who wait to hug me in my hour of need, and who open doors for me in my hour of need.
So this is about my family;
- My sir and sir's wife; whom I went to economics classes when I was doing my higher studies (they are my full strength, the two wings of my life... they are my first family).
- My grade 10 Maths teacher and her family (Uncle Raju, Sammani Nanghi, Jaya Sri, Hansi, Gamitha, Uncle, Punchi, Seeya, Achchiamma.. they are my second family)
- Everyone in my life partner's family (They are my third family.. I am lucky enough to be embraced as their own child without making any difference).
They built and still sustain the person called Gimi. So thanks and respect should always go to them.

I wanted to give you only one message in this post...
There are many conflicts and tensions in your family also. Exclude those things from your life. You go your own way. You are not there to make anyone else happy. And you can never do that. Relatives are the "only people who accept you as you are and give you strength".
Help them as much as you can. Be kind to them. Discard those things when you feel hurt. Remove these toxic people from your life. Live happily. You will undoubtedly meet wonderful people with humanity one day. They are the people you can call "RELATIVES".
Good luck ..
