By default, the environment surrounding the family should be a natural bond to one another that commonly results in love. It should naturally happen. However, it should not be forced/required/mandatory/expected when that environment is not there. It's sad and tragic sure, but don't blame someone for it. Side: Agree

Yes I agree that family should love each other because you stick together all the time. Why would you hate on your family? They will be there always for you but some families can be messed up but my family loves me for who I am. They will support me when things are going down hill and they will be able to talk to me.

Well it's subjective. It's not like some law, and it's not like some natural way. There are animals, like sharks, that don't take care of their young, so they basically show them no love. There are also some human civilizations where love was put on the back burner for strength and independence. Yet I'm over here because as an opinion I feel you should. 1. It's your family you're born with them and can't change them. This is not including the in-laws. 2. In terms of self preservation, and passing on your best traits, you should love, and look after the ones you are immediately closest to. Side: Agree

Should implies a duty or obligation, and I find those notions to be in stark contradiction with the concept of love. You cannot love someone out of duty, only because it is what you feel. It might be ideal if the members of a family love each other, but there is no "should". Side: Disagree

Jace's argument makes a good point. Honestly my entire family doesn't really get along really well, nor does my immediate family, my parents drive each other nut, and me, and my brother, and my sister seem to have a little bit of resentment of our parents for a variety of reasons, and all the families outside our immediate family all hold grudges against each other. I have come to realize that family is not as special as people think, yeah it is in some way, it is good to be close with family (as I am rather close to my brother). I also have friends who felt like family. It is nice having one of my "best friends" and closest companion be related to me and have known me since I was born and grown up with me, it is also nice that my closest friend whom is like a brother to me to be even though we haven't known each other all our lives. I'd rather have a best friend (brother-like), or a brother whom is a true friend over a good friend or a distant family. I like the saying I've come across, if I'm not mistaken it goes a little something like "relation is blood, family is loyalty". Side: Disagree
