[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1505409012482","data":" Ralph Waldo Emerson, a 19th-century American poet declared that \"a friend may well be reckoned as the masterpiece of Nature\". Most of us have a small group of people that we call our Best Friends, each of us would be ready to swear by our friendship and sanguinely claim that their friendship would last a lifetime. But give it a thought and be more practical, how sure can you be about a friendship to last forever? Just like every other fervor, the fury slowly starts to die with time. The only thing that\u2019s constant in our lives is the change that comes, and like every other feeling, emotion or relation, Friendship is also volatile. The life of a friendship can be increased by preserving it carefully or by taking corrective measures to counter the loss as and when it might happen. When we make new friends and get unbelievably close to each other, we get the positive vibes which scream happiness that we hope would last enduringly. <\/p> A book by Digby Anderson, Losing Friends, argues that the pressures of modern life cause many people to see friends as a nuisance rather than a blessing. Everyone has a different perception of friendship, some get too possessive of their friends while others look for their own space. Each has their own way of justifying the possessiveness or the lack of it. However, everything in life has a saturation point and so does tolerance. When this saturation point is reached, a warning gets triggered and that\u2019s your last call for disaster management, if the right counter measures are not taken, the friendship might be a part of the history.<\/p> But when exactly do you know that a friendship is coming to a slow death? Luckily, unless your friend is a master of deception, you will get certain cues that you can intelligently catch hold of and make the required changes to extend the life of your friendship. But what if you\u2019re on the receiving end? Or rather dramatically told, what if you\u2019re the victim of a rough friendship? Maybe you\u2019re the one who needs to take a call and decide if you want to keep the friendship alive by further pumping in your efforts or just let the ship sink. <\/p> <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1505411466026","data":"59bac1f502565"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1505409540936","data":"At this point, it gets immensely difficult because you know that you will end up blaming yourself for the misjudgment if anything goes wrong in the future as a direct result of the path you now choose. I believe that any friendship that has lasted for at least 6 months needs a second chance, for a long friendship that you value more, you might consider giving it yet another shot and hope for things to fall in place. But if it appears that you\u2019re the only one who\u2019s putting in efforts for the better, then probably it\u2019s time to stop. If it\u2019s a one-sided effort that\u2019s being put in, then the efforts cannot propel the ship of \u2018Friendship\u2019 and keep it moving and at some point, you will finally realize that all your efforts have gone futile! For once the fuel reading might read nil and the ship just keeps floating without any movement, that\u2019s the right time to decide and make your choice as there\u2019s hardly anything to lose then. You know it\u2019s not going anywhere without your efforts, and despite many efforts, you cannot be sure if you can propel the ship all the way to the destination. In such a situation, you essentially have two choices, to toil in the sea and hope for the ship to reach the shore or to get out of the ship and swim to the shore and gradually let the ship disintegrate. <\/p> End of the day, the ball is in your court, you need to take the call and weigh your options to decide if it\u2019s worth the extra move and struggle or you should just let go of things and people for the better. <\/p>"}]
