Summary
This quote highlights the idea that we have little control over our family members, as they are predetermined by birth. However, it also emphasizes the blessing of being able to choose our friends. While we are connected to our family through blood, friendships are formed based on compatibility, shared values, and mutual trust. It suggests that friendships are special because we actively opt to have these relationships in our lives, and they have the potential to bring us happiness, support, and companionship that we may not always find within our relatives.
