I had listened this many times, love is immortal, love never dies, relations are precious etc…..My philosophy differs from this, according to me relations never dies it just transforms into another form. Like law of energy, you must have heard this before, “Energy can not be created nor destroyed, it can be transformed from one form to another”.
Relation are similar, they never dies, today you are having friendly relation with someone, tomorrow you may be enemies. This world is very selfish, I do not believe this fact that there is such thing exist called “Friendship”, always there is a motive involved in each and every relation, if there is no motive involved from your side, then hats off to you and your thinking, and one should give me the same credit. But most of the times both the parties involved in relation are doing some kind of adjustments or compromise or i will say serving each others.
Most of the times when compromising factors are acceptable to both the parties involved in relation, then relations stays intact or else it breaks or turns sour.
Let me prove this to you with my personal experience. I had a friend, we had a nice relation, we got into this friendship due one of the stupid multilevel marketing business. If you know the terminology, she was my up line, everything was going well and I was trying hard and struggling to achieve the designation in that stupid business but it was not working very well. Both of us knew that this thing is not working but being an up line, her bosses trained her to not to share anything with the down line, even though i was her best friend (according to me) she was hiding all these things from me and pushing me to get the clients and business, sending me for prospecting and all. One day she must have realized that there is a good opportunity outside this MLM business and decided to work outside this MLM to make money. One fine day she approached me and said we will do this business and open the brokerage firm in partnership, I agreed. But i didn’t know that, something was cooking in the background. When I didn’t agreed on the percentage she was offering me and that too after I got that better deal for us considering she is going to do this business with me in partnership. When I refused to do this business with her on offered percentage, since then I could feel that such a nice relation was dying everyday,and one fine day this relation was not in existence at all. The worst part is she tried so hard that I should not get this contact from the main dealer at same rate and she should get the overrides of my business.
The bottom line is there is a motive in every relation. It always happens that we make new friends and forget old ones, or the contact with old friends diminishes over the time. This is due to change of motive, when the need is over, friendship is no longer required. Of course everyone is not same, but most of them are like this.
