About This Quote

The only reason that some people aren't ashamed of their parents and/or siblings is because they know that we know that they did not choose them. In this quote, the speaker is talking about the fact that people who have been raised in a family have no say in their upbringing. If you take this out of context, it could be taken to mean that these people are being forced into a life they don't want. The speaker does not suggest this at all in the quote though, but instead feels sorry for these people because he knows how hard it must be to grow up in a family. Instead, the speaker says that even though the person didn't choose to be in their family, he or she might still feel very thankful for all the love and support they receive from it.
