Friendship - fitting last words

If when you give, you expect the same (in equal quantum or more) in return, then you will probably be disappointed most of the time .... particularly in a human relationship called friendship. You can never get the equivalent reciprocity... as you would have hoped to expect in a business relationship - you scratch my back, I scratch yours... with ulterior motives and hidden favours.... Such foundation of any friendship will not last.

One recent example:

maybe you should think back how i treated you & how i tried ?
whatever you proposed & organised - i supported whenever i can..

so what's your " special " offer now !?

My response:

Sorry, no special offer. Can't be what I am not. Just as I am.


We have to learn to accept and be accepted in a diversed group of people... meaning to be congenial (without compromising on your basic principles), be patient and be understanding..
You just don't always walk away from anything or anywhere whenever you cannot have it your way.... Learn to focus less and less on yourself and you will see more and more good of others and life will be less stressful.

Of course we have the freewill choice to walk away from something so intolerable sometimes.

You are observing and evaluating others and similarly at the same time, others are doing just that too. It works both ways. "Take a good look at yourself and then you can look at others differently.."
