title:
I've thought it over, and I've come to a conclusion.
It isn't worth it troubling myself with a friend that doesn't treasure a friendship anyway. Perhaps it's just wishful thinking on my part that friendships can last forever. But now I've to learn the hard way that there are no such things as forever friends, just friends who stay as friends for a long period of time.
Fortunately, on the flip side of the coin, there are no enemies that are forever enemies. In fact, there are no such things as enemies. Enemies are just a manifestation of hatred and anger concentrated onto a person, evolving it into a tangible form of being, called enemies. Alternatively, enemies are just the absence of friendship, just like how darkness is simply the absence of light. Then this brings up the question of neutral people, but I suppose I'll deal with it another day.
Continuing on my previous post on friendship (whereby my thought process just left me in the lurch, thereby stopping there):
Now, moving the focus onto ourselves. Perhaps the reason that we have fairweathered friends are by the very merit that we ourselves project such an image upon others when we make friends. Perhaps it's not intentional, or indeed a facade to hide behind to avoid great hurt and big blows when you realise that theat person is an unreliable person. After all, it isn't every day a person will hurt you in a friendship or otherwise, and that friendships will blossom after time.
However, we must also consider the fact that you may also be the one at fault. Human nature is always to shirk the blame, and transfer it to someone else, but perhaps it's high time we did some inrospection. Are we projecting a veneer of coldness, and that perhaps, just perhaps we cannot be trsuted or taken to face value? Or are we the ones that are at fault when a friendship breaks down, when just the previous day, you two were inseparable?
Of course, no one will be perfect enough to see through the murk and realise that it is their fault all at once, but through time, perhaps they will see that, and time is what is needed to heal. But in these days, whereby you need a friends to survive in this cruel world, a world whereby if you do not have large social circles, you will definitely not succeed, or go any much higher than you were.
Friends are there for a reason, treasure them, don't take them for granted. That is the way to survive, and that is ultimately the way that we can still be called...
Human.
