Friends and friendship – some thoughts

“Sometime I feel so alone that it seems that we live life surrounded by people yet all we have is ourselves to be content with, is it that I am too demanding from people or is it that no one has time these days to try and build a simple relationship know as friendship”. This came up as part of a conversation and I knew that I needed some serious thought about the subject known as friendship
When we were kids all of us had a lot of friends. We had some that classified as friends, some that were best friends and some were the best of best friend (Ah the innocence). With growing years the number of friends we had were inversely proportional to our age. The more we grew old the fewer friendships we developed and continued with(ah the seriousness of age). As we grow older the number falls down to single digit numbers and there comes a stage where we don't even have enough friends.
Some might ask "how many friends are enough ". Well as a matter of fact I could say that one friend is a bare minimum and having too many is seriously injurious. All though that is my viewpoint and I am sure you have yours too.
Other claim that in this age there are no friends , just people you know while your pass through the circle called life. Well that would definitely be one view we could possible consider and somehow it makes sense.
Last view of thought is that in these mean worlds friends are people who use you the most. Ah all I can say is that time shall heal your wounds if you subscribe to this thought and please forgive those that have wronged you.

In the end maybe all I can say is that may you have at least one genuine friend who is your constant companion through the tough times and the time when you need to celebrate.
