Sam’s Hangout #128 - “FAMILY LOYALTY & PERSONAL PEACE"

"Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding." — Albert Einstein."


Hello, my lovely Hive Naija people. It’s another beautiful weekend, and we’re excited to have you here once again. A new weekend simply means another chance to buzz the Hive blockchain, connect with one another, and simply have fun. You'll also agree with me that there’s something special about bringing everyone together to gist, share opinions, and enjoy good vibes. That is exactly the reason we will continue to meet every weekend.

FAMILY LOYALTY & PERSONAL PEACE

Now to our discussion for this weekend! We will be discussing "FAMILY LOYALTY & PERSONAL PEACE”.
Family is often described as the only group of people that will never give up on us and likewise. We are taught to forgive, make sacrifices, and remain connected to each other because, at the end of the day, “blood is thicker than water.” But what happens when maintaining a family relationship repeatedly comes at the expense of your peace, boundaries, or emotional wellbeing?

Here's the question!

Do you believe connection by blood is enough reason to keep forgiving family members, overlooking their actions, and giving them endless chances to make things right?
Or should there be a point where repeated hurt makes forgiveness without boundaries unhealthy? Give reasons for your answer.

OR

Should protecting your personal peace be prioritized over maintaining a relationship with a family member?
If you had to choose between keeping the family bond and creating distance for your own mental health and peace, what would you go with and why?

If you have a topic you would like us to discuss in our future hangouts, please feel free to suggest it to us in the comment section and tag @sam.hangout to it.


Okay Let's Gist!!!

Be as simple and sincere with the discussion, hehehe.

Don't you think we are forgetting somebody?... Well, I'm sure we are...

FRIDAY PLANS, OWANBE SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY REFLECTIONS

To make our hangout more interactive, we have decided to add two events to spice it up.

On Saturdays, we share our owanbe stories, party gists, and even pictures.

On Sundays, we reflect on the weekend and things we learnt so far, as well as share plans for the new week.

Don't forget to join us!!

There are no strict rules as regards this weekend hangout. Feel free to speak any Nigerian language you like, whether Igbo, Yoruba, pidgin, Efik, or others, as long as it can be understood.

Please, do not take it to the extreme.

With all that said, let the discussion begin...

Answer

It is no enough reason. Certain things when not rebuked becomes a habit and eventually becomes normal.

Forgiveness is good, but a repeated action poses a pattern that becomes a norm if not addressed. I can forgive someone twice or overlook their actions certain number of times, but when I notice a pattern, I'll quickly rebuke it with whatever means that seems best at the time.

Boundaries are important, it helps prevent you from certain reckless actions from people, whether connected by blood or not. Allowing every offense makes us vulnerable to so many disrespect, and that's where boundaries sets in

Hey friends 👋😺

I'll give here answer to second question

At first I'll prioritize my family but if the family is who wants to make me down like we always have some relative who really never want to see us happy and successful and always create a way to harm us not by physically by disturbing our peace of mind.

Then I'll go for my own peace of kiny, I'll not fight with them, I'll not forget what they did or say, I'll not easily forgive but I'll ghost them.

I'll become silent and act like i ignore them, i stopped talking and meeting with them because of my own peace of mind which is necessary for me

Sorry for being so selfish but in this entire world at least we should love ourselves 🥺♥️

They say that a good friend is better that a bad brother.

At a certain point in everybody's life you will get to know the value of peace without anybody teaching you that.

Irrespective of who you are, when you try to hurt me or ruine my peace, even as family, i will forgive you but set a clear boundary.

So forgiving and setting boundaries for the sake of your peace is very necessary to avoid somebody hurting you to the point that you cant recover again , and later cry had i know when it's too late.

Forgive and set boundaries.

I will always put my personal peace first, I understand the bond the family share and that we are one blood, but if being close will cost my peace of mind, I will give you a very long distance.

Family is really important, no doubt, and I love my family members, but I won't endure and tolerate constant disrespect, lies, manipulation, and many more negativity just to keep a family member close. Instead, I would love such a family member from a distance.

I have grown to understand that creating boundaries around people, doesn't mean you hate them, it simply means choosing and prioritizing your peace and mental health, sometimes distancing yourself from certain people is a way of even keeping the relationships healthier, I could still love a family member , and keep my space too. My well being really matter to me, I can still love and care for any family member threatening my peace and mental health from a distance.
