Random Musings Of A Sarcastic Mind.....(Part 3)

The People In Our World….

“Random musings installment 3; and the thing I want to just…..’talk’ about, if you will, is the people in ‘our world.’ And what I mean by that is the people in our space, not in the general term ‘world,’ but the term that is only specific to one human being interacting with others that eventually create a channel of relationships. For example: You’re best friends with someone else. Whatever, and you’re hangin’ out, chillin’ and all that fun stuff. Should we be obligated to talk to and exchange thoughts and ideas with your best friend’s friends? I often wonder that.

To further this question and example of sorts, let’s say you’re still best friends with let’s say…….John. Yet you also become friends with John’s friend, Jack. What happens when things get rocky with your best friend? And let’s say for all intents and purposes, your friendship with John ends. Are you still allowed to be friends with Jack, a person who John introduced you to in the first place? Or does your connection with Jack end since your friendship with John ended? I always wondered about this and how people dealt with that.

Another question of sorts, what do you do when you give and give, yet you don’t feel the other person you’re giving to, is giving back enough? Do you continue giving hoping that one day your friend comes to their senses? Or do you stop altogether possibly hurting your friend’s feelings? Do you pursue the friendship, let the other do the pursuing, continue as is and keep giving, or do you let it fall by the wayside? Would it be negligent on your part to stop giving, in hopes of that person recognizing that they have to give back too? Or is this some kind of petty power struggle for the person doing all the giving?

What happens when you’re on the other end of the spectrum? When your friend gives and gives, yet you don’t seem to give as much? Do you simply look at the gifts and things of that nature as such, just gifts since you didn’t force that person to do anything; or do you feel obligated to give back? Is it simply good policy to give back or are you doing it out of the good of your heart? I also wonder about this.

What do you do when your best friend doesn’t go to you for help, but rather someone else? Do you become offended by these actions? Or do you not worry about it? If you’re in the situation where you don’t go to your best friend, is there a reason why you did it? And when you did that, did you consider your friend’s feelings? Or what that person could’ve been thinking in your time of need?

Do you ever wonder if you have these thoughts for a friend of yours, if they’re really worthy of being in your world? Do you ever look at the people in your space and just have doubts? If you have doubts is the core strong enough?

And lastly, I wonder why people who have friends, real in the flesh friends, why those people take advantage of them? Is it because you were always taught, ‘Aaaah, you’ll make more friends,’ but what if that doesn’t happen? I think the thing I think about most often: Is why do people take true friends for granted? I see it everyday and it boggles my mind. I’ve experienced it two-three times, but I never understood it. Do people really believe that they can do………and say whatever and that person will still be there? And if that person abuses you by just being a bad friend, do you stick around by showing that you’re true? Or do you leave? These are random musings of a sarcastic mind………….”
