The thing which stands as testament for friendship is that you move on with life even though there are differences... But is it true...
Recently I experienced three instances where it shows that life is not all about friendship and love but rather taking stand on what you believe is right from your own perspective.
First instance is losing friendship of 20 yrs....
I recently got married and could not personally call one of my best friend and sent online invite. Yes with 20 yrs of close friendship, this was blunder from my side. For this my friend did not turn up to marriage as expected.
Now coming to point, what is friendship all about. Correcting and forgiving mistakes or is it having something so trivial to ruin long history?
He was correct from his perspective and me a sad loser for letting go one of the best guy around.
So one to self perspective and zero to friendship.
Second round. Again in the backdrop of my marriage he came down from US, a practical jack ass. Next two things revolves around this guy.
We all had gone out for partying just couple of weeks after marriage. By all, I mean closest of friends. This US guy has die hard friend, we shall call him Senti...
A small investment related argument made Senti lose his mind and move out of investing group.
Point of discussion was whether to invest in equity or debt. The part that made me post this was, Senti mentioned that US guy is just an outsider and he had no point in arguing when we all know how close and old friends both are...
2 NIL.
Final nail to friendship's coffin.
They were close and had good relation. But in the same treat they were avoiding each other. One person has become spiritual and other as usual maverick. In either way of thinking is there room for fight or disagreement?
But the things have gone to the extent of removing or omitting each other in mailing list?
Does not spirituality speak about sacrifice and forgiveness? Being maverick does it not mean you dont care for anything and get alone smoothly?
No here also self perspective wins....
With closest of friends fighting on trivial matters... Just tryin to change world has to take back step...
Live life in your own way!!! is the mantra
