Brotherly Love
City of affection
Brotherly love is deep affection and loyalty between brothers, or more broadly, the warm regard people feel for one another as fellow humans.
The phrase often carries religious or ethical weight—the idea that we should treat all people as family: Philadelphia is called the City of Brotherly Love.
It suggests care without romantic attachment, a bond rooted in shared humanity rather than blood.
