“Blood is thicker than water.” Meaning: family bonds matter more than other relationships. But the longer version people argue about is: “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” Meaning: the bonds you choose (loyalty, brotherhood, shared values) can be stronger than family. Real-life translation: family doesn’t automatically outrank respect, loyalty, and peace. | Kate Angelic Assassin Stewart

We've all been saying "blood is thicker than water" thinking it means family comes first, turns out the REAL saying is "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb"—meaning the friends you CHOOSE are more important than the family you're just born into.⁣ | Z100
