Summary

This quote implies that within a family, there is a tendency to take each other for granted and assume that we already understand everything about each other.

Despite living in close proximity, we may fail to appreciate the depth and complexity of our family members' individuality. It serves as a reminder to actively nurture and strengthen familial relationships by continuously exploring, understanding, and appreciating each other on a deeper level.
