Do I have duty to love my family?

Not at all. Just because your family brought you into this world doesn't mean you automatically have to love them. They still have to earn your love and respect just like anyone else in the world has to.

Biologically speaking we love our Family because that increases the chance of having our genes passed on to the next generation. If they treat you badly however, then you should stay away from them.

You do not have a duty to love your family if they are abusive in any way towards you. Just because they are your family doesn't mean you have to give them second chances if they hurt you or make you feel bad.

A very good question! I think love cannot be a duty. Love is a freedom and a choice. It is difficult to practice love to our family because they are the ones who can hurt us the most. But i guess it hurts because of Love! which is somewhere behind the layers of broken promises, expectations, etc. and pretty much unconditional. So the question is to practice love or not- is a separate matter, which requires skills, patience, acceptance perhaps. So thats my philosophical view on it..

If your family has given you multiple reasons to not like them, you shouldn't have to love them. It's not your fault if you can't love them.

It is not a duty to love your family no. But family are people who have brought u up and will always be there even if u need them or not. Might as well have a good relationship with them.

It was really depend on how they treat you. People feel guilty about feeling indifferent to their family member because society pressure us to love them just because we share the same blood. But there's peoples out there that get abused, there's peoples out there who experienced things that shouldn't have happened in the first place. And I think it's important to consider that, I think its important to know that it's your life not theirs and it's not your duty to love a person, even as a family member that cause you nothing but pain. But, if they have love you endlessly than it is your duty to love them endlessly as well.

well one should love their family, because your family loves you and has been there for you, supporting you whenever you needed help. even when you didn't know about it. You shouldn't think of it as a duty but love should come naturally.. :)

YES! I should love them I mean they're my family.

I'm not sure if it's so much of a duty I think loving ones family just comes naturally. I guess in our society we just deem it to be natural to always love our families unconditionally
