what do words mean to us?

after speaking to someone today I realized the strongest word to most people would be Family and Bond.  Both these words mean completely different things, Family doesn't need defining we all have our family in the world, our mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters.  Although that only names family bound by blood, which brings me to the other word Bond.  This word can have several meanings like the simplest would be saying bond is only used when you glue something together, like paper, but if you use bond in another concept you find that it has a strong sense.  We bond with friends, and eventually they become like family to us, friends becoming sisters and brothers, even though they are not blood related doesn't mean they aren't related in another way.  Word used loosely have one meaning but when you think about it they have another, loosely family means blood related or marriage, but the other meaning brings in a whole new perspective.  The Bonds and ties of friendships are almost unbreakable which is what makes friends become family.  So don't take a word at face value but also don't look too deeply into a word other ways the word itself could become useless.
