Friendship through life
Submitted by Hechkok on Sun, 2008-05-18 14:14.I once put it as a title of an issue I wanted to write about and day after day it possessed my thoughts to write what I feel about real friendship in our life, .
How friendship changed by time, through various commitments, work hazards, life challenges and the daily race.
How we used to see friendship through our childhood, how we ran from our homes to join our friends, how we were there for each other in each tragedy and in every problem, how we shared life, happy moments adventures, how we preferred to stay with our friends more than our families, how we thought we could live young forever and keep being adventurer till death.
How we shared every secret, every thought, every moment, every memory, how we stood up for each other when the world turned its back.
How we thought we were invincible, how strong we thought the bond between us and how all that turned from its imaginary lovely face to its ugly real face.
It was never a surprise nor a sudden event; people begin to get busy more and more because of work, commitments, duties and daily problems.
We are going to analyse friendship transformation through life step by step only to realize the size and kind of this transformation.
OK we must begin with the early days of our childhood, the friend you found on your way and grew up with, the days of childish acts, crazy ideas, foolish feelings and endless happiness.
You use to gain a bunch of friends each day, you never thought what they think, say or do you were just discovering life and relationships.
Then comes the school phase and the beginning of the true friendships, true bodies and only the lucky ones of us can keep this friendship for life, because usually it is the one that lasts.
It was a phase of different friends, some to return back home with after school, some others in football matches, a bunch in your studies and a few with your parent’s friends, with some luck they could be your best memories.
Finally you get out of school with an evil gang of good friends, and comes the first obstacle in life, for the first time you get separated into different universities and places and the so close big gang is divided into small groups of two or three bodies with similar conditions.
Then comes the university days and a whole new era in the choice of friends begins, your gang exceed its maximum allowed number of casual friends, and hardly you try to keep one or two as good close ones and unfortunately it will even be harder after that to just keep these friendships.
Then comes work and real life, when you hardly make any new real friends, when real friends are needed and appreciated, when you finally face life with its ugly face.
Again you will be lucky to gain any good friend in work, although it is not recommended at all.
Then comes marriage and comes with it your final friends filter the ones you will let into your house and will share some kind of social life with the wives and children and all its complications and differences and they are few.
So after all these phases and friends gained and lost through days only very few are considered best friends, only very few will remain in contact, only very few worth your sympathy, care, attention and time.
And those few friends are your real wealth in life and the lost of one of them in any condition is considered a disaster that makes you only wish you can keep them to the end of your days.
