WHAT FRIENDSHIP?.....

For me....well.....It is an in-depth relationship combining trust, support, communication, loyalty, understanding, empathy, and intimacy. Aspects of life that all of us crave. Being able to trust and relax with your friend is a big part of friendship. Remember when you were young and went with a friend to her grandma’s for the week-end. It was fun but when you got home, home was wonderful. Your feeling was Im home. I can relax now. That’s what a friendship should be. You go out into the world and do your best. You have your ups and downs, your problems and triumphs, your fun and vicissitudes. You charm and you perform. Then you come to a friend. You can relax, put up your feet; you are relieved. If you still have to be charming and/or performing, its not a relief. Friendship is a comfy situation like home. You get home, kick off your shoes, relax and sigh, Ahh, home. But no one can form a friendship until he/she realizes that the basis of being friends is meeting the needs of the other person. One must be a friend to have one. Never forget that friends relate. Relating is the basis of friendship. Is it worth listening to the rumblings of jealousy born from resentment of the closeness shared? Is it worth turning a blin eye to the glee of that surround us at the first sign of dispute and disagreement? Is it worth ignoring the speed with which others, in their frenzied need to denigrate, hurry to add to our uncertainties? Is it worth that benefit of doubt that we can extend to our enemy but not to our closest friends? Is it worth allow the insecurities that dwell inside to emerge and tear at the fabric of love that has been woven in your heart? Is it worth leaving the memories of shared dreams and moments behind on a field of angry words, thoughts and actions? Is it worth an unforgiving heart that refuses to hear another’s cries and will not allow for human fragilities?
Is it worth the stubborn pride that keeps us from admitting we might have been wrong or might not have understood? Is it worth hardening your sweet soul to the pleas for understanding from someone who once shared your thoughts and emotions on a daily basis? Is it worth giving up that part of you that you once gave freely and with love to another?
Is it worth forgetting all the good in favor of the bad? Is it worth the tears of God as Hemourns the anger inside our hearts? If friendship is worth so little, then was it truly friendship? Friends will sometimes hurt you. Life is not fair. Life is not always pretty. Often without meaning to we hurt those we love most. And often those we love hurt us, again without desire or thought of doing so.
