The changing colours of friendships.

During my school days and college days I used to hang around with my friends on sundays and other holidays. After college we all moved on in life and very rarely we used to see each other. Some of us reached dizzy heights in life and some got lost in the wilderness of life. Somehow I got in touch with some of the less fortunate ones and again once in a while we used to meet and take a walk along the beachside, remembering all our past friends including the well established ones. But the top guys never cared to contact others. That is life my friends. Do you connect to your old pals?

Wow, i like your topic, sounds like , The United Colors of Benetton . Well anyway, that is true. Some friends go,some friends stay. Each of us live on different countries now with our own families to take care of. Although I still have contacts with them, some we don't even have any idea what happened and I don't have any communications with them also. Anyway, that is part of life. As long as you can still be a friend to your friend, that is important. They will also remember you, but some would really forget specially if they have something to say about life. But just go on and continue being friendly with others whatever their status in life would be.

Thanks for your insight. True, stay friendly with friends whatever their status is. A true friendship never fades away. It was there for you,it is there for you and it will be there for you because that is the very purpose of true friendship. meapas.

There is a saying "Pride comes before a fall". Unfortunately I think for many people an increase in pride can remove them from the friends they once had. In an effort to present themselves as better people, some think this means disassociating themselves with people who they deem are not successful, or from those that were part of their lives when they considered themselves to be unsuccessful. Not everyone does this but quite a lot of people do. It is sad really because those people and friends actually helped to make them who they are today. They are the real friends they may never find again. I suppose that maybe, in one way or another, they are scared of returning to past friends because in their minds that would make them the person they were before? If this is the case then the pride they have gained has already made them fall. They have lost the joys of being with friends that were there for them at the beginning of their journey. I am glad you still managed to keep in touch with some of your friends. Who knows maybe those more estabilished friends will contact you in the future.

Thank you for letting us know your view about real friendship. What ever our present is or future going to be, one should not forget ones past. On that foundation your present stands. A genuine friendship stays irrespective of ones status. meapas.

I love my college life, and i have a lot of friends before. After graduation, each of us take separate roads. Some went abroad for better earning opportunity, some just stayed in the country. I do want to contact my old pals just to have a reunion party and talk about life. I do really like it so i am trying to find them on friendster. Trying my luck if i can still see them there. Happy mylotting and smile always!

It does seem true that the friends who succeeded you can't recconect with. Success changes some people and they don't want to look back or remember that they were just normal people once. Because of this they are not the same and are not as good as they once were. Those friends who have had trouble are much kinder and still want to be friends. This seems like the way of life indeed. I have not had too many good friends in my life, outside of my faith in God and Jesus, and my family. My mom still keeps in contact with her friends, however.

Whatever our todays status is, we should not forget our friends and all those who helped us once. We are indebted to them in many ways. May God bless you and your mother. meapas.
