When I was writing this, I knew most people won't agree with this but still wanted to pen it down cause alternate views need a look too. Completely agree with people not able to forge friendships later in life. I believe, that is mainly due to lost of innocence. It is much harder to trust people when we are older. We are circumspect and do not open up that easily to anyone.Dorkstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659953350791873316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387545963412020987.post-50431683898002204132013-08-11T22:00:49.020-07:002013-08-11T22:00:49.020-07:00Hey!

I think I don't look at making friends as choosing from an available pool. You just get along with people you come across and over time become friends. I also feel that our old friends last for life and it becomes more difficult to forge deeper relationships as we progress into our 30's and 40's. Hence people we kinda know since our 20s and have grown together stick around better.

Others have things like obligations or genuine affection associated with them. It might have sounded a rant against friendship but I am all for it.Dorkstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659953350791873316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387545963412020987.post-62878347019786931472013-08-11T11:02:44.254-07:002013-08-11T11:02:44.254-07:00We get a limited choice(of say a 100 classmates) a...We get a limited choice(of say a 100 classmates) and we have to choose the best of them... friendship is like any other relation, we choose to be close to them the same way we chose to be close to that distant uncle out of all our relatives... <br /><br />Also, EVERYONE is selfish - you, me, your fiance and even your parents... They all do whatever they do to make you happy cause THEIR happiness lies in yours'. So lets not isolate friendship from other relations... it is selfish but as you said, may be that's what makes it special.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387545963412020987.post-42390027650950878582013-08-11T10:50:21.947-07:002013-08-11T10:50:21.947-07:00Ek post likhi hai.
