While many people love their own families above everyone else, there are many examples where people find they're more openly accepted by their friends and other communities than by their own families.
Parents and relatives have their own prejudices and limitations for unconditional love. As such, many people feel more 'understood and loved' by others outside their immediate family.
The entire world is one family and we should treat each other as one family. Love transcends blood relations. We can love (and be loved) by others outside of our immediate family.
In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
