Friends/ Acquaintances...relationships with another human being in general


They often have me wondering about why am I friends with this person or why have I crossed paths with this person? Or even more weird, why i have i seen this guy out and about like 10 times, randomly. Why do we create relationships with people and how do they stick around and thrive? My question is; I don't even know my own question, I have a bunch floating around. But back to relationships. Obviously, relationships stem from a person seeing something in the other person as enduring, exciting, comforting, evolutionary...bottom line the person is in some way using the other person to fuel some sort of need. Not always in an evil way but in today's world, most are of that nature. Seems to be how we are conditioned to think. Always caring for yourself first, no matter what. Yes, in the end it is only you living your life but if you think that way its going to be a lonely, heartless life. You must think of others as yourself in the most loving, caring way, which then allows for your heart to receive the love and care from yourself and others. What you give is what you get !



Sometimes I'll start to wonder how my friends and I have completely different interests and common ideas yet we are still friends and hang out quite often. Most of them are on two different spectrums when it comes to music, ideas,  & just ways of living ! How is it that I am friends with such a motley group of friends, what is it that is keeping me around to hang out with them even though they are almost the complete opposite of who I am? Well, I'm friends with them for a reason. They are in my life for a reason & there is something that I am supposed to give to them that will help them in some way. I'm not exactly sure what it is so I will leave it to them to figure out. And the same goes for them, I will gain something in this life from my relationship with them that was supposed to be brought upon me. So, to keep it simple I think ill stick to looking at relationships in that way instead of the rather.

Lets try and be grateful for the friends that we do have in our lives right now and treat them with kindness and an understanding heart. You will soon realize how special of a part they play in your life. Because in the end, we are all in this together.
