Love, romance and sex also bring people together. We fulfill this need as we are compelled to eat. With six billion people populating this earth it no longer mandated for the survival of the human race, but this drive is programmed and we can not deny it. One of life’s strongest bonds, the family is created from this union, but not always making friends to the two people responsible. Desires fad with the preponderance of competition and only sustained by commitment and the values taught during our upbringing.

I have yet to give up. Maturity might teach us acceptance of others and ourselves making it possible to find friendship in this natural of all bonds. But I have not observed this first hand.

What is a friend? A friendship has to be worth investing the time, requiring thinking outside of you. Some people have associations not friends with different people all their life long, the relationships never lasting beyond its immediate benefit. Friendships can evolve from a romance yet it is never clear what the priority is and the truth often becomes a causality.

With the few close friends I have, there are months we do not communicate but the bond still exists. There is an acceptance of each others humanity and a commitment to sustain the friendship. Not always perfect and often needing understanding and forgiveness. Now it seems the more I need the more I give in the hope that someday I will receive, quite selfish actually.

I post my comments here to sustaining old friends and cultivating new ones. My words are broadcast for all to receive, anonymously directed, with the ease of access this site I am hoping to connect, creating a foundation for the bond to grow.
