Blood is thicker than water. Is it that way because it's written in some eternal rule book? Is that way because we're supposed to care about blood more than water? Or...is it that way because parents don't want their children choosing friends over family? If blood is truly thicker than water, then why do we fall in love with water? Wouldn't water only thin out the blood stream? If blood truly were more important, we'd like to keep it thick and pure. Correct? Now, I'm not going around promoting incest or anything (though if you like that, by all means ignore everything I just said) but I'm looking for the true blood/water relationship. Friends are water. Family is blood. (In-laws are oil.) If there is someone who you consider to be family; such as a close friend, boy/girl friend, pet, etc..; would they be blood or water? Friendships end, relations break up, pets die...but does that matter? There's still that one point in your life where that person or those people meant the world to you...as if they were blood. Water can thicken and thin out...as can blood. It all depends what you add to it. Can water thicken into blood though? Scientifically speaking...probably not. Metaphorically speaking, yes. If you ask me, anyone you care enough about can be blood even if to a family member they are water. But what about blood? Blood can thin or thicken but could it really thin out into water? I'd say no. The bloodstream may thin out but it will always be blood. Family members may die but they will always remain with you. Friendships may fade away but the memories will always flow through your veins. Relationships may break up but you will always have that souvenir reminding you of the great times you had with them. So in the end...there is no blood or water. There are only the memories that you hold in your heart and the people who hold those memories with you.
