Yay thanx Mamdoh :).

How I wish 4 a child to gain experience without losing purity. But I guess no pain no gain.

I do remember one person saying that you can’t really call someone a true close friend until you can leave them move around your home freely and in every direction and let them close to your loved ones without feeling any threat whatsoever, a child is a good indication of your cool and happy loving friends by the way :-)

As always you never stop to amaze me with your input, great words and ideas all in ones personal experiences. Yes, our parents had more than us, times have changed, people have altered their life standards, we have outgrown our parents in the numbers, when we should have looked at the quality.
I do believe that great friendship is a two way street, I have quite a few that I cherish, and adore, and would stick my neck out to them when in need, its the asking for help that bothers me. The true ones seem to jump in before you need them, that is priceless.

Great words, Thank you.

So true that I always wondered why? Why would some people act like that they are your friend? Am I one of those people? How can I Identify the real from the fake?

On my discovery journey I landed in few bus stops, though I am not claiming that an answer has been found. The fact is that I am still searching as we all are & always will, but anyways thought to share.

A simple comparison between the number of friends my mom had in my age with mine. Needles to say that I have hundred times more friends, with thanks to modern technology and few other players here & there. Just take a look at your face book account, how many friends you have there. Ok how many of them do you know in person. Among this number whom do you think will stand by your side. Psychologist claim that an average person may make up to 2 true friends in whole life time, so no wonder the number of fake friends is on the raise.

Also we have this on the raise saying “surround your self with successful people”. It seems that we are blindly following the saying, with eyes wide shut on purpose.

Tell me how many times did you asses this successful guy/girl. We wonder why is this lady pretty by our average standards? From where did she got the bold to wear this dress? How could she be married while I am left alone? Lol this sounds like the day to day friends or even families conversation over dinner, the problem is that we end up hating him/her. We put on our negative attitude towards successful peers for very trivial reason like the feeling of intimation and jealousy, most probably cause we are feeling insecure about our selves.

My only message since we can only change ourselves “Wear your guard without letting it effect your life & plz stop comparing your self to others”.
