How does friendship affect our minds?
I stopped today and for a long time just stood there and thought about over my short life about the friendships I have had. I have gone through my life from one extreme from being isolated entirely from the outside world relying on the company of inanimate objects and my own voice. To from my friends now constantly wishing to be with me. But am I truly happy with either? I’m surrounded by so much as it can be called “love” why am I still unhappy with the world? How can I be unhappy when so many people want to see me smile. Is it because I don’t want them to smile back in fear of attachment and feel loss?
How does friendship affect our minds? Friendship gives us power, makes us afraid to lose our power. Friendship makes us weaker. But the truth is friendship is more then that. Much more then words could ever describe.
