This is not a game

Perhaps some of the things in this world are not destined to change. One of them would probably be my perspective of a durable and healthy friendship. I do not view friendships as changing weather; they're not as dispensable as we think. A friendship is a life-long commitment, just like a marriage, except for the latter's case it's mutual love between two people. In any other case, a friend's as important as a family member.

If a friend of mine were to do me wrong, a mental process of anger, disbelief and eventually forgiveness will take place naturally. But the crucial moment would be the period of forgiveness. It may begin with a storm, followed by a drought, and then sunshine prevails. But did it happen this time? I didn't even see a single sunbeam emerge from the looming clouds. This is the animosity between you and I. Perhaps one day, the winds would arrive and send away this gloom. Or will this gust bring torrential rain instead?

Sad to say, this path's full of mistakes and pitfalls, and it definitely took more than just two hands to clap. In the meantime, status quo probably shall remain. I'm not taking the extra step.
