Talked to an old friend who wondered where all her old friends went. Why they didn't talk to her anymore. I told her, distance makes people grow apart. If you value a relationship you would try to maintain it. I was being an hypocrite. I can't even happily maintain my own relationships, yet here I am giving advice. I don't deserve to give others advice, to give them support, when I can't accomplish the same task myself. I merely abused the wisdom of others and gave it to her. Is it the right thing to do? I justify myself by saying, she benefited from their wisdom, but it was hypocritical of me to say it. I will do my best to change it.
People.
Before the rise of cities, people lived in clans and villages. Everyone knew each other on a name to name basis. You learned to deal with the most annoying arrogant people, and you learned to love them,, for they were part of your village family.
That sense of love and connection is gone now.
I tell myself, just think of their annoying company as practice. It will be good for you to be adaptable to a variety of people.
Hypocritical.
Yet I try.
