DON’T PUSH THAT FRIEND AWAY!

I remember when gaining admission into the University was still a problem. I had a friend, Annie that was lucky to gain admission before me. Whenever I went to visit her, her mother would tell me Annie wasn’t at home.

My friend,Annie started giving me attitude. She stopped coming to my house. I asked her what the problem was, she opened up and told me her mother had Warned her to stop associating with me because I might not be happy she gained admission, while I was still at home. She told Annie I would certainly be jealous of her and that as a university girl she needed to get on with new friends that fit her new level.

Honestly I was pained. I felt hurt, Annie was a wonderful friend and we shared great memories together but after she gained admission to a higher institution, she started acting weird, proud and her demeanor said obviously that I wasn’t at her level anymore. I was sad but of course, I moved on.

Five years later...

I had gained admission and graduated but this my friend was still in the University. It was a 4 year course but a touch of carryover courses here and there plus I heard she got pregnant and had to nurse the baby an extra year so she had to spent two extra years trying to tidy up… Not like I was happy to hear that sad news... There’s a moral to this.

Her mother saw me in the neighborhood shortly after graduation and asked if I was on holiday. “Holiday?… I am a med school graduate”. You can imagine the look on her face. Epic!
I graduated with 5 distinctions and got a palatable investment opportunity with a Network Life and Health Company in the US and two years later she graduated too.

Here’s the lesson, here’s the crux of the matter...

• *When we have a house filled with kids.... Our loyal friend struggling to have kids becomes an enemy. We push them away!
• *Once we get married... Our loyal single friend becomes an enemy.. We push them away!
• *Once we get a job... Our loyal jobless friend becomes an enemy.... We push them away!
• *Once we get to the top... Our loyal friends at the bottom becomes an enemy.... We push away!
• *When we are happily married... Our loyal friend that is unfortunately a widow or divorcee becomes an enemy.... We push them away!
• *When we have food and water... Our loyal friend struggling to survive becomes an enemy... We push them away!

Nobody is your enemy, you are only being an enemy to them .

We quickly forget... Life is not static. It moves and changes.

When you condemn a situation along with the person in the situation. You are only gambling.

At the end, the winner is always the person you condemned, the person you least expected.

Finally, I advice; DON’T PUSH THAT FRIEND AWAY...
