The line between friend and foe?
September 29th, 2008 by blurblurWe are most certainly sure that friendships will not last forever, some are just too fragile to commit and some we may trust unconditionally.
Mutual trust cannot be established within a short period of time, nor we cannot assume them to be faithful even after 5 or 10 years. So how much can you trust your classmate, housemate, kindergarden friend, or your partner?
This question can be very subjective as everybody’s priorities are obviously different. Some may think work is more important, relationship with their partner is their life, their religion is what makes them and lots more. All these are debatlable among individuals and we shall not judge for everyone has different perspectives.
The more important question is what are friends for? Friends are there to help you out when your family is not available. They are sincere at heart with hands to spare at times. They’re the shoulder for you to cry on and the sandbag for your anger disposal.
Some people in our life step over the line too much that you couldn’t stand it. They betrayed you, used you, and forgot about your existance until they run out of number to dial.
“Hey, come over for dinner. There are leftovers and you might like it” Just because they don’t eat leftovers and feel guilty to waste food.
“Can you come and fetch me at the station?” Just because you’re too lazy to walk a couple blocks and reason you have a car.
“Do you want to go for a trip?” Just because you can be their chauffeur. After they got their own car, they don’t even think of inviting you anymore.
It is sad to see your friend’s true face after you had built your trust upon them. However we have to avoid denial and cross them out our friends list, or we shall be hurt.
