Been torn between loyalty and the interest

Jo Johnson, the younger brother of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has resigned from the Minister of State for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation, and the British Parliament

It is impossible for a person not to love a person. As a result of love, you may have a family. May have children. After that, love does not change. So who should people hate? Brothers and sisters.

Et tu, Jo?

For brothers (including sisters), brothers were like air and had to be recognized as familiar beings since childhood.1

Jo Johnson, the younger brother of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has resigned from the Minister of State for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation, and the British Parliament.2

More than 21 members of the Conservative Party rebelled against the elder brother’s “Leaving without consultation or agreement with the EU”3

  1. Unlike parents, siblings are close in age, so it looks almost like a clone. Acting in the same situation, crying, laughing, fighting and cooperating with each other, close and inseparable may be a term for brothers.
    For that reason, there are few opportunities for brothers to be viewed as independent. Because it is a premise that the brother is familiar, it may not have much opportunity to be separated far away. I feel that the primitive feelings born from such fateful relationships are more hatred than love.
    Such feelings drifting between brothers do not change even after aging. Brothers hate each other even when they are old. They hate each other and can’t leave. Brothers have deep and long connections because they cannot lose their hated objects.

  2. The reason is: In recent weeks I ’ve been torn between family loyalty and the national interest.
    He has reached the point where he can’t keep up with the recent Brexit issue of the British Parliament and has quit his ministers and members.
    During the tenure of the former Prime Minister Theresa May, Joe resigned as a minister because of the Brexit issue. Joe quits if he doesn’t know what to do.

  3. "Parexit" (Parliament exit)? More than 21 members of the Conservative Party (including the grandson of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill) rebelled against the elder brother’s “Leaving without consultation or agreement with the EU”. The fact that Joe resigned was a part of that trend. The outflow of the conservative party does not end with Joe’s resignation. It will continue from now on.
    Joe’s resignation this time is of course closely related to the Brexit issue, but is this related to the feelings of the brothers? If such feelings had a strong influence, an insignificant supporting role might not have resigned suddenly.
    Is it a role in society or a position in the family? Of course, the former is much more important. Because Joe is no longer a younger brother following the older brother. So, although the media is paying attention, I think that the fact that Joe’s brother is a fanatic Brexit proponent did not significantly affect his resignation.

It is a general topic in the family,
but hate between siblings may be maximized when property is inherited. Heritage inheritance changes the human mind. So you have to change. That’s all for today’s post. Let’s get along! Thank you
