Well the entire earth is my family because we don't know each other that doesn't mean we are not related. We are related and everybody is.
My Parents:
My parents are very religious in nature and also highly educated. Because of their nurture possibly I have been so philosophical or religious in nature. My father worked in different capacities by serving government. Though he was a government servant he had a lot of struggle and pains (because he was very honest and sincere) throughout his career. Eventhough he had many difficulties I as a child never used to feel that he was having so many botherations, then eventually I started to know various philosophical things in life that you need to learn in order to keep situations at bay.
My mother has a different approach than father, which I never agreed, but everyone has his / her own way of handling life. Ultimately what matters the most is the situation you are in and how you handle the same. If you are going well with surpassing all the difficulties then the style doesn't really matter in the end. I am not saying that she is not philosophical or religious, just different style.
My Relatives:
I am very fortunate to have many relatives and a very large bank of cousins who really care for me. Since childhood we were very much attached and the relations have strengthen thereafter.
Probably because of my isolated nature and nature being more philosophical I have lessened communications and other related things which usually happen in very strong bonded families. I like to be alone and in solitude that is worsen relations.
