About This Quote
True brothers are never blood-related. But born of the spirit. It is true that blood is thicker than water, but the idea of having a brother only because you share a common parent or ancestor holds no real meaning. Having a brother can be very important if your sibling shares many experiences, similar attitudes, and similar values.
But, it’s not necessary to have a brother to feel close to another human being. We can know someone as family without having any biological connections at all.
