Sometimes I wonder is it true when people say "when one is in a relationship, he/she tends to leave their friends behind and when the whole relationship comes to an end or when he/she is bored with their partner, they will turn their back back to their friends."How true is this?
Come to think of it, somehow I agree with that statement.
There's people out there whose life is only about them and their partner and they never realised that the friends around them are beginning to drawn away from them while the whole "dating" scene is taking place.
And when this whole dating scene end, they tend to return back to their friends but never do they know that the friendship among their friends are somewhat different from the way it used to be.
Is that really true?
'I Kissed Dating Goodbye' has indeed taught me alot on my personal life.
I've opened my eyes big and come to realise that there are friends out there who really cares about friendship.
No doubt, there are also friends out there who get close to you because of other motives.
I've seen many of these people around and somehow I regretted being so friendly to some particular people.
But then again, God told us to love our enemies and love those around us. But hey, how can you love your enemies? How can you love those who is trying to steal your close friends? How can you love those who once pierced a knife deep into your heart?
I remembered during one of those NDP leadership day camp, we were asked by this pastor on what do we want to improve on ourselves?
If I remembered correctly, I told the pastor "I want to improve my tolerance and compassion for others. I want to try liking people I dislike."
True enough, my tolerance for certain people has improved. Instead of looking at the bad side of the person, I started looking at the good side.
Everyone of us has both bad and good sides. And it's not easy to make someone like you when someone already holds a grudge or is bais against you.
And this is one thing I have to reflect on myself too.
After talking so much about tolerance and all, I know its funny to say this. But, it's not easy to be friends with someone whom you dislike. (once again, I'm not referring to any of my friends)
I have come to a point where my tolerance level has reached the peak of the moutain.
I KEPT QUIET DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T BE BOTHERED!
