Warring Siblings!

Self-explanatory

 

By Stanley Collymore

 

Okay! So we’re biologically related, and that isn’t

my doing; or was it ever a matter in dispute as

we have the same biological parents and

therefore are undoubtedly siblings

who’re unquestionably naturally

related to each other. But these

factors in themselves don’t, won’t or shouldn’t

automatically make us clones of each other,

and specifically so in our thinking. For

we are in essence fundamentally

different persons and not only

how we noticeably look in

visible terms but likewise

too to how we normally

respond to numerous

things meaningfully

and that reasonably,

practically, and

level-headedly

in adult terms

is definitely

how it really

ought to be.

 

So give me a break please in terms of your constant,

unwarranted and offensive criticisms, as well as

your never-ending condemnations of me!

And in doing so hopefully as well stop

your irrational trying to change our

established familial rule book

into something to suit your own personal, arrogant

and rather narcissistic ends. And actually doing

so by idiotically claiming that although you

freely accept that we’re close biological

relatives and therefore indisputably

even siblings, our, prescribed by

you, insoluble differences in

opinion over some matters

you consider as essential

accordingly determine

and even necessitate

that we either can’t

or shouldn’t even

aptly be friends.

Author’s Remarks:

Families! The imponderable problem isn’t it? An established worrisome conundrum and state of affairs in which many of us experience multiple disagreements with some or even all of them at some time or other, while for other family groups it’s simply plain sailing, an uncomplicated case of the sun shining out of each other’s backside, so to speak, and there’s not a solitary care in the world as regards their inter-familial relationships let alone any serious problems emanating from them.

 

So how does this happen, and what’s the binding solution for universal family harmony? Respect for each other, love and basic understanding I guess. But if in the meantime you personally come up with a fool proof solution to this perennial predicament and familial quandary then let the rest of us know. But prior to that, and unless you’re saintly altruistic, patent it first, as I’m pretty confident it’ll be a money-spinner for you for sure!
