"Perfect Family vs. My Family"

Perfect Family vs. My Family 

by: Mel Merquita

A Family is one of the most basic units in society. I am going to compare the ideal “perfect family” and my family. First and foremost, A family for me is a group of people united due to blood relationships or law, a normal family must have commitment, unity and balance.

Commitment is like a promise. It is something we hang on to in times necessary or sometimes, forever. A normal family must be committed to each other. A perfect family accepts each other no matter what, like if one is different they would accept the individual. They must always be optimistic, or seeing the benefit in all things. A perfect family must also have a strong bond to each other. On the other hand, my family shows commitment by laughing at the problems we encounter. We don’t make it a big deal not unless necessary. If we need to solve it we find the simplest solution.  We are also optimistic and we share the same point of view in life.

A country must have her citizens united and unity starts in the family. A normal family must be united. The ideal perfect family is strongly united. In terms of belief and conflicts they stand united. A family that prays together stays together, they say. My family is like the ideal perfect family when it comes to unity. We all stand together in good times and in bad. We all share the same belief in God and the Christian faith, and like all families, it’s all for one and one for all.

            By balance, I meant equality. By equality I meant that, if one knows something everyone must know about it. It’s like this big forum. Research proved that a child that shares everything to their family would probably end up successful. A perfect family must have balance in everything. Like in financial terms, the perfect family must have resources for everyone. Everyone must know each other equally so that there will be no secrets. No secrets mean that there is a less chance for family conflicts. Like the perfect family, my family has enough resources for everyone. The difference is we share things that we think must be shared. We keep secrets from one another and respect other’s privacy.

           

            My family has always been close perfect. I can say I can’t ask for anything better. But in context my family is not perfect. We have are own share of flaws just as any normal family in the world. There is this saying that nobody is perfect, so if one can’t, how much more can a group of people be. Either way, I love my family.
