Lessons in Life
I learnt two lessons in life from my very funny colleague today.
1. Friends come and go like tissue paper.
Sometimes we put in so much effort for friends, but to no avail. Are they ever going to change? Are they ever going to make an effort as much as you do? Sometimes you feel like giving up on them because you're drawn to the edges of the plain white A4 paper and you can't go any further. And when new people come into your life, they get pushed back and soon or later before you know it, they become"former friends" and then not a minute too soon "associates." Sometimes it's best to just let it be.
2. Life should not be like a debit/credit card.
Sometimes we give and give and give and give and GIVE! Giving has no end, yet we receive nothing in return. Should we in fact be expecting anything in return for all our giving? Does it seem fair that we give so much and yet get nothing back? All our time, effort and money is spent on giving and in the hopes of getting something in return that is of equal value... yet again, to no avail.
C'est la vie.
