You need to be the friend that you crave so that you can help bring out good qualities in the people you meet...in turn helping them grow as they help you...just like kindness is contagious so can friendship be...if it is meant to be a lasting one. Just more food for thought, lol!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967792138883290795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863246161154426792.post-45161146235392029552010-08-07T16:09:59.114-07:002010-08-07T16:09:59.114-07:00Another important thing to remember...on the roads...Another important thing to remember...on the roads in life your directions, goals, and whatnot are constantly changing causing you to be mentally able to latch to certain friends in certain circumstances...you tend to latch to the friends who can perhaps offer you some kind of understanding...understanding in some way, shape, or form is what each person craves...hence the friend choices. It is very, very, very rare to find a friend that can offer understanding in every aspect of your life... Just food for thought...<br /><br />Different levels of complexity in each friendship are to be expected for sure...a big problem in American culture these days is that friends are often taken for granted and thoughts of easy replaceability are high (just like electronics...for many, old friends are like a really old/slow moving computer..if you will, lol) In other countries they just live and keep life simple rather than feeling like they must make a show of everything...of course this is not the case for all Americans, but it may be a strong point indicating why so many ppl consider themselves 'friendless'...mabye they are the ones who are not appreciating the friends they do have, but just want more...more..more! lol Just food for thought.... <br /><br />Ciao for nowAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967792138883290795noreply@blogger.com
