Guy, I don't know and I don't understand the point you are trying to prove here, I kind of get what you are driving at but there is nothing that stays for ever. Even the loyalist, supportives and best friends that you are talking about doesn't stay forever. Only family can last for a life time but sometimes too things can get complicated and you might just end up to lose the family bond which still define the statement that nothing last for ever. The only thing that is constant in life is change and anything can change in the future, including humans.
The maximum is still the family, especially if it is in trouble with the law. For example, when one of our family members like our brother or sister is hit by a problem, whether it is small or large, will we remove him where at that time he needs a solution to get out of the problem. Of course not, isn't it. Even if he tries to tell the people closest to him whether it is a friend even though they just listen to him without being able to do anything, let alone maximum.
Only the family will fight with all their might to provide any support so that family members can be reunited as before.
