Last night I’ve been hanging out with an old friend from Setapak High. His name is Leroy. We were chatting about those old friends whom I still keep in touch of. I mentioned a few names that we can relate to. When it comes to certain friends, he told me that he aren’t in good terms with them. I told him that yeah, I also have a few Setapakians who doesn’t like me that well. He was surprised and told me that my PR dropped. I laughed and told him that there is this thing call connection.
Somehow along the way, we are unable to reach out to certain people. He say it was the clashes between the characters and for me, the old sayings rule,“One man’s meat is another man’s poison”. Sometimes, that is what a definition of friend should be. “A friend should bear his friends infirmities”. I don’t choose my friends. I make friends with almost – well, almost anyone and I let them choose whether they wanted to be my friends or not.
A friend of mine used to tell me that what a friend think of you is the actions you been doing which implies your impression to them. It is true. That’s why when sometimes when having a gathering or get-together, I am worried. Worrying about how other will react when someone they least preferred show up. Can’t they take it like an adult? Leroy asked me a favor to contact some of the Setapakian next month (June) for a get-together. I’ve promised him that and if any of you Setapakians reading, please make yourself available when you get a call from me.
In my humble opinion, an arguement arise when both side thinks they were the right. When one side were the wrong, misunderstanding and hatred arise. Mostly due to egoism. That’s why sometimes, i rather lose an arguement than losing a friend. There’s no point winning an arguement when you are going to lose your friend. That’s why I seldom win in any arguement (another reason is I am not good in arguing)
How about friend backstabbing you? Leroy told me a story about it. Since both of the characters inside his story are my friends, I would rather assume that one of them is unintentionally slip of tongue says something not pleasant to be heard of and the other over reacted as well as being chaotic about it. This is what I told Leroy and hopefully, both of them can fix the issue.
Quoted from somewhere “All Honors and Wealth in life are just like the sand holding in palm but our friendship last forever”.Tell me, what do you think? And I’m sure Leroy will be checking out this blog of mine soon.
