There’s a saying, ‘blood is thicker than water’. […] It’s like that
other idiocy, ‘my country, right or wrong’. Blood is an excuse. It’s a
reason not to face up to things and it is never a good reason.
(Rosalind Munlochy, p 256)
People sometimes find it hard to accept that several guys I met later in
my life are much more important to me than my parents, although I
hadn’t had an unhappy childhood. But I believe that how much you have in
common with somebody (mentally), and how much (good and/or bad)
intensely experienced stuff you’ve been through together, is much more
important than mere genetical relation.
