"Blood is thicker than water" means exactly what it says. Your blood ties are much thicker, richer, and deeper than any other ties you have to someone else. The article, "The Stuggle For Iraq" has a perfect example. One ofSheik Yousif son's said the only reason you have not found Saddam Hussein is because his family will not give him up. The bond between Hussein and his family is so thick the will not give him up for a reward of 30 million dollars. The bond between his family is much greater than any other bond in the Middle Eastern cultures.
An instance when a consanguiel relationship would help in life is when there is "family gossip". You're not going to run around and tell everyone your families business. It stays in the family.
Another instance would be abuse. You might tell your family that someone you know is abusing you and they can help. You don't want everyone to know that you are being abused and then they run and tell someone and it keeps going.

You're not kidding about keeping family business in the family. I was taught at a very young age not to talk about money, not to ask questions about people's occupations, and to never speak to people about my family's situations.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I understand your abuse example, but I'm not saying I disagree. Just wondering kinda what you meant by that?
