Thoughts for a time

My Thoughts for a Time...

This is going to be much shorter then I anticipated, mainly because I don't have the time. But this little thought for a time is simple, its about time and friendship.

Not so long ago, I was talking to a friend and the issue about time and friendship came up. It was her belief that being distant from a friend for a long period of times and being able to come back to them with little changes denotes a strong and good friendship. I agreed half-heartedly. I think its more important to keep in touch, not necessarily calling every day or e-mailing every day or whatever the case maybe, but to take a moment out of your busy and hectic life to show someone you care or show how important they are. The little things once and while can do wonders. Of course, we all have our own new lives, but its good to know someone cares and takes the time to do so. Regardless of what happens, friends are friends, they last forever no matter what happens, except when people forget.

A Brief Moment of Enlightenment...

As I set off for bed with a book and pencil in my hand, I was struck with a brief moment of enlightenment. My mind went off on one of its tangents and what came up was a conversation I had not too long ago with my good friend Jenny. We spoke for a long while and during this discussion, we asked each other about our faults. Let them be, personality, physical, behaviorial , or whatever we ensued a bagfest on each other. The peculiar thing was that we found little ammunition besides the most obvious of faults (what those were, I won't get into). You're probably wondering what the enlighenment part of this was and here it is.

Trying to find faults in your friends is a difficult thing. They are reflections of you and are in a sense what you are. If you love your friend as much as I love mine, you'll find it more increasingly difficult to find these faults. The obvious reason why? Love is blind. We were taught that as little kids but never in this context. Why shouldn't it apply here? No one likes to think badly of someone they are free to love or hate, ie someone not family. I'm sure some people may say that they can easily find the faults of their friends, but the friends you love a lot? I suppose it is quite possible but its hard for me. When it comes to love I'm the most blind.
