Friend-they call it!

I always felt there are two ways in which one can treat his best friend. There may be other ways but I never tried to seek, the instances which were visible in front of me, I only admitted them!

Firstly, you can think, your best friend will always be with you and you take him for granted. You think, he will forever be with you even if you invest no time on him which is quite normal I guess. However, it doesn’t mean you don’t love your friend like ever before, but you may love him so much that you just start to believe that he will always be there for you, whatever happens! Staying 24/7 surrounded by air, you never actually feel the existence and importance of air: so, you just opt for smoking, inhaling some other gases which are definitely detrimental to your health (or might not). You only feel the absence of air, when one day you just find out, you can’t breathe. Well this was just a consequence of a case which may not (and I wish not) happen with anyone! 

Secondly, you already know, your best friend won’t be with you forever. You don’t take him for granted. No one will be there for you always. As a human being, we want a lot of things. We want to be all the time with the people we love, share our stories, know theirs and want our emotions to be valued. Knowing this, you choose your best friend whom you will give enough time, importance and “attention” (well, it seems too much possessive speaking and so I deliberately wrote the word “invest” in the previous paragraph and of course, I mean it). You must know there is nothing called Amar Prem and Friend to the last breath but this may only happen when you notice and value your friend’s tiny emotions too.

Now it’s your choice- which side you want to choose. 

Whatever, some people go beyond these two types too. Some people make such friends who are way more than friends, best friends or any relation. And unfortunately, these friendships last the least! I always believed, when two atoms come too close, they repel. This is true for any other relations too. When you are way into another one’s life, you want more, more and more. You start to believe, you have more right on his life than anyone else, you start to think, you are the whole world for him, which to some extent might be true, but not totally! No one can be the whole world of someone! The world is a big concept. We deal with a lot of people the whole day, one can be another one’s priority one, but never be the only priority. That’s what one should understand, where to stop, where to stop expecting, where to know, “Okay, I have enough, I don’t want more, I should not go closer than this!”

Saturated solutions can’t take more solute, even if you expect. Expectation doesn’t hurt, the thing hurts is- expecting way more than you should.
