How many times have you heard “blood is thicker than water”? Here’s the full quote. People often use this quote to justify that family and family bonds mean more than any other relationship you have and that you should sacrifice everything for the family. ☾
But the full historical context of the quote says “blood of the covenant,” meaning that the blood pact made by those you choose to enter into a relationship with is stronger than the bond of genetics. This rings of the real truth. Our family is often karmic. They show us things to heal in ourselves so we don’t pass it on to our children. Sometimes we need to set hard boundaries with them as we evolve, and not sacrifice anything and everything for them. The friends we choose, the blood of the covenant, those are the relationships that guide you through your evolution.
