Friends And Reciprocity...


Had an interesting conversation with a dear friend the other day about dear friendships...

He asked me about so and so and whether or not I had seen him lately?

"Not in years," I told him. "Too bad too. We used to be such good friends."

He asked me why there had been a lapse in the friendship?

"I started giving the friendship the same effort he did. I decided to match effort with effort for awhile."

"And that started a fight?"

"Oh no. It just showed me how one-sided the friendship really was. When I took away my support for the friendship, the friendship just didn't hold together anymore."

"The friendship wasn't a mutual endeavor?"

"Exactly."

I've done that with a couple people. I just hope a couple other people don't do it to me.

I find no friendship holds up if one person is way more invested in it than the other.

I hope your mate holding that power tool in the wet isn't like this guy.
