Our very birth creates a family if there was none beforehand. The life we experience after that birth is what will define kindredship. There is a set definition to the word family and we all know and understand what family is supposed to represent and how we should behave and feel within it. However I place friendship as the materialization of this definition. Someone who betrays you is not your friend yet can be a member of your family, even though a family member should never betray you. A friend will always stand by you and help you in your times of need. They will go through the good and the bad and sit next to you when all is done to share a drink and a laugh. They understand you because you became friends through communication and they are very often the person who knows you best.
A family without friendship does not fit the set definition of family. It becomes a system we are born in to with set rules we are forced to respect. Rules reinforced by an aging hierarchy.
