The faction over family rule, though, was just to prevent rebellion and stop individuals from having something deep enough to prompt them to go against the council.

Concluding everything I have said earlier, I believe that this quote is accurate. Only we can choose our priorities and what comes before what.

Granted,this novel in general is meant to put emphasis on more drastic differences between certain faction and another, but truth to be told, in real life, we all pick our faction and some point, and divert from the background in which we grew up.
It is also worth considering the way a simple slogan can become so powerful that it ends up ruling people's lifestyles. And I think the book reflects pretty well the way a mere idea, when well sold, can influence an entire society in such a powerful manner.

In real life, this can be seen when people distance themselves from their family because they don't respect that person's beliefs and choices. And I agree with it, for example, I don't see why you should obligate a gay person to spend time with their homophobic family. Though, I believe "family is not the most important thing" is a view most commonly shared by younger generations.

My family is very conservative. I once had to choose between my family and another personal issue. I chose the latter. I talked to my family; they're okay with my decision. Thing is, as long as communication within the family is open, I guess you belong to the lucky ones. GO ahead- the world is out there waiting to be explored.

It's 2021, and I see many family members who choose to stay away from their families. Many cut off their ties from their toxic parents and abusive relatives due to their clashing perspective on sexuality, politics, and religion (or lack thereof).
Despite that, I also see many communities that work together to protect everyone within their bounds. I appreciate those citizens who work on preserving their cultures. I see many people in the LGBTQ+ community who live happily together after being disowned by their families.
I cannot say where I belong because I don't always see myself fitting into the place between where I grew up and where I want to be.
