Friends II

Two days ago I had a long conversation with one of my friends. To be more precise, it was about something he discovered, and he was not the only one to do so, as I give it some thought time ago. We are a bunch of over ten people who know each other for more than ten years. A lot have been done and have been spoken so far within our circle. What he noticed was that for the last years we have grown apart in an extremely aggressive way. And he intends to change all of this. It must be said that it is not something that has been passing unnoticed by all others. But it seems that they are not bothered in any way. Excerpt for myself and him. His plan include one to one discussions in the first place, then confronting all of them. He seems convinced that together we should represent a much stronger force than we are on our own.

I could not agree more with him. Still I have my doubts regarding the success of the whole story. Each of us is now living a small bourgeoise-like life, concerned with day to day troubles, each of us is trying to get their $#@$#$# together and to figure out what needs to be done. But all that by themselves. It is not something to blame people for. Actually I completely understand everything that's going on. It is simply a matter of priorities. They have no motif whatsoever to challenge the current status quo, which, as a matter of fact, it proves extremely comfortable for them. Weekly meetings with you friends, chitchat, and, what is most important, no strings attached, let's not go into details approach, no initiative. It is a sad thing to say, but I am almost convinced that in five years from now on, we will regret it. That's life! one might say. And he would be probable right.

I have promised him to back him up entirely. He has my full support, but still I wonder ... You might say that this is no way to help someone. That you have to think pink, in a positive way. But that's life I might add.

Kudos!

in addition, here's a great song about becoming estranged nowdays, and that has not G'nR stamp on it.
