Friendship for us is better then relationship (relation with relatives), because relation with relatives is of blood relation, whereas relation with friends we are related/attached by heart. And it our heart which provides blood to entire body. i.e.:
Friend------->Heart------->blood (relationS). Our priority is friend/s.

How amazingly described the importance of friendship!
Great job!
Thanks, misha...
Thanks bet, you have explained the topic very well.
Actually, we like those who can read us, who cares us, whom we can share our ideas, specially whom we can believe, relatives and friends both are important relationship....we do not like or we just can not like our all relatives and on the other hand we do not make friendship with all the people around us...so, matter is whether they care us, are they helpful, do they speak in the right way, can we rely or believe them....bla bla bla.....
Yes, Onee, it also depend upon the parents, how 'friendly' they are close to their children. In Eastern societies, sometimes strict rules of 'respect' make the kids hesitates to open their heart to their parents, by contrast, with their friends they are closely franks and do not feel any shame in to share what is going on in their mind.
Thanks Onee for participation in the discussion.
Surely, I have some distant relatives but we have no connection. Most of my close relatives passed away. Anyway I am married and have kids. My family and my friends make me happy.
Dear Mishaikh, you can call me Lana. ))) I know my name Svitlana is difficult to write and espacially to pronounce for foreigners.)))
Thanks for your comment on the topic.
It happened that I have no relatives at all. However, I have a few close friends who replaced my relatives. They are my real soulmates. We share everything with each other: our happiness, our troubles, our sadness.
I fully agree with Rose. People choose friends with their hearts. And If we listen to our heart carefully we will never be mistaken.
Your discussion is really meaningful, dear Mishaikh. Thank you for opening it.
Some people are closer to their relatives than friends, some people are closer to friends than relatives.
Well, I think it depends on how parents tried to get close to their children.
Thank you for your nice discussion, Mishaikh. :)
