We are all struggling to make ourselves a spot in the world, and it always seems as though we are pushing for further social status every day. The world seems to be divided into groups or "cliques" (clicks) that range from rich, popular, and nerds to name a few. It is common to walk through a High School campus and see kids standing around with the people that they fit in with.
Now I'm not saying its a good or a bad thing, Everyone has a niche that they fit into or that they feel comfortable with and it is always going to be like that as long as the world is in existence. One thing that I have been seeing in the last several years is "cliques" in the family.
You all know what I am talking about. You go to your family get together and you have the family members that are wealthy, and then you find the ones that are at the bottom of the totem pole. Each and every family experiences this to some degree whether they would like to admit it or not.
This may be the way of the world but it should not be the way of the family. You are only born into one family in which you do not get to choose. You should never discriminate in your family because they are the only people in your life that will always be a part of you. In a marriage, it could end in divorce for some reason, or a friendship could be lost due to jealousy, but a family is bound by blood no matter what you do.
Think about how much more productive we would all be if we supported our entire family and never made anyone related to us feel like they don't belong. I mean after all, if you don't fit in with your family the who do you have? We were meant to love one another and always be there for a family member in need.
Don't create "cliques" in the family. Try to treat your family like they should be treated regardless of their social status or whatever is separating you from them. Eventually family may be all you have because the world is getting more wicked by the minute.
