Some people are like chapters in our lives. During the story they appear as brief characters who leave, leaving only small moments to remember. And depending on how long they remain in our lives, we can remember them with nostalgia, joy, or even pain and sadness. Have you ever wondered why you can't be part of someone's life?

If it's true that all the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players, then the question becomes, "Who is the Casting Director?" Do we do it ourselves, through some mysterious process that's unknowable to us, on this plane at least (At least to most people)? If that is the case, the next question is, "Why do we make the choices we make?" And then, "How do other people's wishes affect ours?" Or is there some sort of higher power doing it? And behind Door #3 is, "Is it all a product of random meaningless coincidence?"

@Aiana18 I just don't believe in coincidences. ------------Some of them do seem to be too unlikely to be coincidence.

When I was much younger, I pondered this idea quite a lot. I wrote a poem about it at one point titled, "A Friend Just for Today."

Yes, sometimes we feel like characters in a book or something. But that's just life..and you wonder why certain things happened in that sequence.

That's a very philosophical question. Some friends I remember with happiness, one or two I wish I'd never met!

Yes, some people come and go in our life, but true friends will always stay and are part of our life.
