Re: one true friend

[manus_nigrum]

Not one friend...One true friend. We all have tons of friends, people that we hang out with Denny's, school, work, Starbucks whatever. Everyone has lots of people like that they like, that they talk too, but you don't always have the ability to be completly comfortable with everyone you talk to, or even everyone you even like. She's talking about that one person that she feels truly connected to. The person that she thinks (rightly or wrongly it dosn't matter) understands her.

The reality of a situation is often irrelevent in life. It is one's perception of the world around them that determines how they will interact with the world around them. So in a way reality is in a certain fashion subjective. It dosn't matter how many people extend their hands in a gesture of friendship, if they don't see the hand it may as well not be there, additionally even if they do see it, if it isn't from a person that they trust (I'm not implying that they feel that they offer is made by a person with a malevolent intent, simply that they have no confidence in the offer) they won't be capable of taking the offered hand either.

It is often the people that we are closest to that we drive the cruelest actions towards. Familiarity breeds contempt? Maybe not, but those who are nearest and dearest to our hearts are often the ones that see our worst sides. The people we vent our frustrations on. It is a sign of a strong relationship if it can weather these storms but even the greatest ship will sink if there is no respite from the wind and rain, no safe harbor for it to find the maintainence needed to keep it afloat.

Dose this mean it's ok to abuse those near you? Of course not, I simply think that over time you will grow slowly to depend on those around you and a true friend will be there no matter what happens. A friend of mine once said to me, Throughout your entire life people will come and go and if your lucky you might have one true friend, if your really lucky you might have two.

But what do I know, I could be wrong on the entire subject, it's just how I see it.
