You have put into words exactly what the difference is between members of our Family and others who want to be 'involved'. Because you are correct - the choice here is mostly one-sided; whether one wants to accept everything that comes with Family 'membership', including a loving attempt to point out social issues that needed to be addressed.
At some point we should probably go through a formal 'water brother' ceremony (suitably mixed with alcohol, of course...), but you are indeed my water brother, and a member of a Family that I love dearly.
