Friendship 101 (part 2)


Roadblock to a loving friendship - inability to love
It is difficult for people who are deeply bitter, hurt and disappointed to be a loving friend. It is therefore important for us to learn how to first put away those feelings in order to love properly. Love is 100%. Anything less than that is not true love.

So from marriage relationship -> friendship -> love.

Love is the obvious common denominator for every connection we have with one another. Yes, even in businesses/workplaces. I truly believe so and no, I'm not being idealistic. I think you who think I'm idealistic are being jaded.

I think the world needs a bit of a shaking up. Maybe more than a bit. I realize that at least 50% of the time we are being nice to one another not really wholeheartedly. By that, I mean it is often our being nice under the "kill two birds with one stone" scenario...something like, "if it doesn't serve a win-win situation, it is not worth doing" kinda thing.

Of course, that is nothing wrong. In fact, it is very practical and even logical to create win-win situations. But what if you can just do good for the sake of doing good? To someone, or for something? Will you do it? I think it is very hard for people with a pragmatic mindset to do this. Perhaps that's why we love using the heart, and not our minds.
