Friendship.It's a word that many people take for granted. It's a word that was sacred, used only when there is absolute trust between two people. However, in recent days, the whole notion of friendship has been twisted and contorted and perverted, and out from the abyss pops out things such as fairweathered friends, and other types of undesirable stuff. This is a crisis we're living in, and this crisis is not global warming, though admittedly it is obviously a crisis that we're living in. The crisis is that we now have no idea who to trust anymore, or who to believe in. When was the last time your friend stood up for you, be it maligned or you being really at fault? Since when did your friend last helped you pick up from where you fell? In this world, we have no longer lived by the principles of the past: working together for success, and victory belongs to both. Rather, we're living in a world whereb it all matters about YOU. And when that is the case, you do need friends along the way. Correction, disposable friends that you can utilise, but when you have used up what they can offer, you throw them to the side. Friendship has never been perverted to such a degree before. Never. Where did the building pillars of friendship (mutual trust, mutual care and mutual understanding) go to, only to be replaced by the pillars of self gain, self expectations and self care? This is something that has to be addressed, or else the whole notion of friendship will crumble into pieces, and future generations will never understand the real meaning of trusting someone else.
