What is the Thing that we really cannot live without it?

When I was first introduced to this topic the first thing that comes to my mind is FAMILY. Well, some might say that friend is the most significant thing in this planet while the other might think that wealth takes bigger part of their life. There are also people who have the opinion that health should come first after all. However, I strongly believe that family should top the list base on they are those who understand us the most, they will never betray us and they will share with us all the ups and downs in our lives. Before dive in into the topic, I would like to explain what I mean by the word family members. To me, family members are those who stay with us in the sense our parents, spouse, children and also siblings.

First and foremost, family members are those who understand us the most. When we first come to this wonderful world, the first person who we see is our parents and they are also the one who bring us up. Before we go school, the one who teaches us how to speak and perhaps how to walk and run are our parents especially our housewife mother. Not to mention about all the moral values and virtuous principals in order to survive successfully in this competitive world that taught by both our parent. Just imagine how are we going to survive without those lovely parents when we are just kids? We do not know how to communicate and not even know how to consume rice; our parent will definitely the one who teaches us this entire basic staff. Some might argue that both of their parents are working parents and the one who teaches him or her all these basic survival skills are their grandparents (who I shall consider them as the family members) or the nurseries. Bear in mind, what do our parents do when they left you with your grandparents or at the nursery? For sure they are not hanging around and do nothing. We have to understand that they need to earn a living for the whole family. In this case, they are still play a major role as the bread winners for our family.

Apart from that, family member will never betray us, or I shall put it as they are less likely to do so. As the saying sounds blood is thick than water, it is certain that the probability of our family members to stab our back is much lower than that of a friends. There is once a great author mentioned that if we want to look at what is the perfect love, the love of a mother to her child will do. Moreover, we can observe from what happen around us or may be what had happen to you, there are lots of our ‘friends’ who will not hesitate to backstab others in order to make themselves outweigh the people around them. A friend of mine had once experienced this. He was sick and unable to attend a particular class and he asked one of his so called ‘best friends’ to take notes for him. Unfortunately, what happen was the friend of him do give him notes that are ‘going to come out for the exam’ but it is not the actual notes given by the lecturer on that day. Eventually, my friend failed his exam and his friend obtained full marks for that particular subject. After all, do you still think that friend is the one who we really cannot live without? I, personally stand on the other side of the coin.

Some might claim that health should be considered as the most essential thing in our lives. In addition, it should come before wealth as the saying health is wealth. Without health, one cannot have wealth. One is unable to work if one is in serious illness. Even if he possesses all the best things in the world, without health, he still not able enjoys them. Furthermore, some might claim that without health, one will not have time to spend with their love one and also their family members. On the other hand, I personally agree that health should come before wealth in the sense that without health, wealth is meaningless. However, I stand firm on my point that family member is the thing that we really cannot live without; as in without them, though we own million or trillions of dollars, we will still feel lonely and isolated as there is still nobody to share with us all our dry and wet in lives. No man is an island. Even a healthy person still needs someone to walk with him or her throughout his or her live. In this case, family members will be the best choice as in they are those will share with us whatever we possesses outmost sincerely.

In a nutshell, I would like to restate that family members are those we cannot afford to lose in order to lead a meaningful life. Family members are those who know us the most, those who we can really rely on and off course those who will never leave us no matter how bad the condition we are in. What would a life without family members be? I, as an ordinary people, would never like to figure out...
