Frienship, the hard way
There’s one more entry in this blog regarding this - however, that one is somewhat different.
Recently a lot of thoughts have crossed my mind about it, and a time has come for me to share some thoughts (you know, if you want to share something with more people, the best way is writing 
).
I’m just tired of watching “Friends” or similar movies on the TV, switching it off and ending up in a lonely world. It doesn’t have to be this way, and it’s just not right.
Whoever invented the TV, then the internet, the e-mail, irc and all the other chat&talk programs which we use today, sure had something positive in mind. Maybe they thought of a way to entertain us better, or create more opportunities for us in finding friends and mates.
But when you look around you, can you seriously think that their purpose is accomplished? Do we spend more time commuting today than our ancestors did? Do we spend more time actually communicating to real people, or we are just getting to the point of living in front of a TV/computer box?
I’m sick and tired of all this. Living in Eastern Europe, I can look forward in the direction my country is headed (the western way of living) and can see how many people there are on regular depression drugs, regularly need professional psychological help and are overall overwhelmed with work, forgetting the purpose of working - to actually enjoy the fruits of your work with your friends and family.
Hey, is there a meaning in working, just to pay the mortgage on your car & house? So you’ll be at the age of 60 when you repay all your debts, and will finally die just to have the chance to say “I did it! I paid my debts!”… if that will be the purpose of my life, it is a good idea to just shoot myself right now and end this misery…
That was just a point-of-concept, of course I’ll never do something like that. It’s time for a change.
And to actually get back to where we started - how can you find friends in the modern world? The answer is very short and simple - the hard way.
Go help somebody. Don’t expect anything in return. Do it again for someone else. And again. And again. Be a friend to someone you don’t like. And again. Until you realize one day you are surrounded by friends!
That’s just the way it works.
And now, it’s time for me to get started (actually first I’ll go to sleep as it’s around 3:20 AM ;)).
