You've expatiate on this topics very well. I agree with you on this points

Even in the family where you have siblings from the same parents, it takes a lot of sacrifice to keep things going between two them.

This is so true, it's takes only understanding for couples to live in peace ✌️ and as rightly said sometimes one person needs to be a mumu.

I am of the opinion that whether punishment has a good effect or not is largely dependent on the recipient

Truly the recipient of the correction really matters. Even the holy book said it that the stupid ones never appreciate corrections.

thus no obligation is on them to give votes to you. They choose to use their resources as they desire.

I normally told some of my Steemians Friends this, truly nobody owes us vote, we should rather be thankful for what we are receiving. Yes gratitude is a must 💪

I wish you success sir!
