Friends For Life?
Or a reason and season
Friends come in all colors, shapes, and sizes. We choose friends in which we feel a connection. There's the saying where friends come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. We, I think always feel that our friends will be there for a lifetime. However, that is not always the case.
Misunderstandings cause rifts in any relationship including friendships. If there is true caring and love between you and your friend you can get through difficult times.
Respect and unconditional love are two of the most important aspects in any friendship or relationship.
Unconditional love is difficult at times but when we can shed our expectations this rare love can be achieved. Of course, if we have the need to be right all the time and cannot shed expectations of others, the friendship will die.
Losing a friend you love due to a misunderstanding is one of the most painful things you can experience. It's like death. The anger, the grief, the insurmountable sadness, etc... is devastating. However it happens and when it does, we need to learn how to move on and get through the painful loss.
We get through it only by forgiveness. By forgiving ourself and our friend. Forgiveness creates peace within the soul and it’s the only road to happuness.
