Trust & Friendship

Trust & Friendship.

Trust:

It is a relationship of reliance and dependence. It is the belief and the confidence one has in others.Trust does not need to involve belief in the good character, vices, or morals of the other party. Persons engaged in a criminal activity usually trust each other to some extent. Also, trust does not need to include an action that you and the other party are mutually engaged in. Trust is a prediction of reliance on an action, based on what a party knows about the other party. Trust is a statement about what is otherwise unknown -for example, because it is far away, cannot be verified, or is in the future.

Friendship:

It is the total acceptance of the others for what they are and being there for them at all times. Do you know the relationship between your two eyes? They blink together, they sleep together, they cry together, they see things together, they smile together and they sleep together but they never see each other. That’s true friendship and what friendship is all supposed to be.

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances. If there is a reaction then they both are transformed. Such feelings are the emotions that each one has and we get carried away into another world. A beginning of a new relationship of trust and friendship and a feeling of joy and happiness. People will come and people will go but the ones who find you special will find reasons to stay. How often do people come into your life only because of a reason or a purpose? Then how long do they stay? It’s so often today that people want to meet you only because you might be of use and then when the job is done they walk out like it never meant a thing.

To me having a friend is like having a purpose to live and care for and to look forward to a brighter tomorrow. It’s hard to find a true friend these days but easy to come by with many acquaintances. Hold back your worth and they last a bit longer if not then you are not worth a penny too. In a friendship the understanding needs to be complete and the honesty solemn. One can’t keep telling stories and expect the other to believe you always but when he understands he will respect you.

Truth often comes alive in the most wrong situations and that is where the trusts takes the friendship into another oblivion. Even in times of mistrust is it not necessary to clarify and clear the misunderstandings? A true friend will always take the effort to get to the bottom of things and sort matters. The problem is with others who want to hide and run away. They look for excuses all the time and enjoy blaming the other. Another smart way people use is to induce the other to commit a mistake or to react and then use this reaction as a foothold to depart.

If you want to part then there are better ways and more civilised manners. Part, if you must, but part with no ill feelings in your heart. Part in a way that you are not embarrassed if you should bump into each other. Partings can be sad but they need not be bitter. Either way I would forgive the other, no matter what, because he/she meant something to me once.

The time comes for each one of us to accept and let go. Peace be with you.
Trust if you want to and be friends if you care to. Life will go on.
