I have seen that many people push away good
and caring relationships by taking them for granted or not understanding their
brand of caring. Sometimes, there also seeps into a long term friendship a kind
of envy which leads to two people growing apart.
When you have known someone a long time,
and life takes you into different modes, you tend to look at that friend with a
certain comparison. And if, at that time, you are an unhappy human being, you
tend to forget the close bonds you shared and begin to gradually tear apart the
relationship. And once you reach a point of no return, you have burnt your
bridges until you realize what you lost. By then, it is too late.
Better to make a point in your book never
to reach a point of no return. Life is not about “you”. It works only if it is
about “us”, that “us” could be two people or more.
Besides, those who have experienced the
bonds of love will tell you there is no feeling better, no joy greater than a
no holds barred friendship and closeness. It could be between any two people.
If the base is compassion on both sides, the rest follows.
