Thinking Aloud on Fading Friendships.

How things have changed! How time has flown! How friendship has gone! I seem to be lost... I continuously remind myself of friends that I have and used to have at various times, through various means; some very close, some close and some distantly close. I wonder why some never lasted and I am yet wondering. There are several friends for several reasons and there are different friends for different purposes, it is great to have all the reasons, purposes in one friend; how impossible can this be! I wouldn't be able to pinpoint why friendship degrades; people come, people go; if they came, left and never returned, it was never meant to be. Although everyone is capable of maintaining about 150 friends at a time, the healthy number is between 4 and 6. I don think I have changed. I still talk to and deal with people as I used to. The reactions are overwhelming; some still read it well, others simply just cant. I have done all sorts of things to make friendship stronger; I have invited people over for dinner, I have visited; all, with the view to maintaining friendship. I have helped people move houses, I have helped in cleanups and others; I lend, I borrow; I have received and have given, even advise, I have played the fool's part most times, what more are friends for! Sometimes I feel like I get taken advantage of, if any relationship must last, there is always the fool's role to be played; who plays it? Some are only just after what they can get from friendship and when things don't play to their advantage, then, it's war; fair weather friends I call them. The crux of it all is to get maximum satisfaction from life; if you are onboard SHIP 'friend' and she is sailing you thither you do not want to go, unboard; time heal every wound. Whatever good SHIP you are in, is worth keeping, kill for it! A job, moving on with a partner, starting a family, all tell on friendship; but none can actually kill friendship. With the advent of #‎facebook‬, #‎twitter‬ #‎whatsapp‬ #‎bbm‬ #‎2go‬ and other social networking websites, social networking apps, mobiles, text, emails, the advancement of call tariff and of data capitalization, and even with every passing day of seeing each other, there is no excuse for failure to communicate; it frustrates to be in a one way relationship. How things have changed! How time has flown! How friendship has faded! I cannot be at a loss.
