thought about the plants in the garden

What is it that finally pushes a friendship over the edge and destroys it? And when this happens can it be salvaged with an apology and a heartfelt conversation? What is it that defines our compatibilities with other people? Is there a genetic click with another person or do we grow these friendships like plants and then watch them wither untended and die.

Sometimes one person will uproot the friendship with a cruel, unnecessary or unintentional blow. In which case, the plant, if you will, dies swiftly. In such cases it is possible to regrow the plant—if we care to indulge this metaphor, provided the green wood stays alive. And sometimes I believe the friendship is a weed which chokes the garden of our minds, and must be poisoned, although in doing this we harm ourselves with the toxins.

I don’t know. This is simply a musing tonight. This is simply a brief rattle on the nature of our human organisation and I think there may be more to come on this subject, as it is a fascinating one.

anonymous - April 05th, 2007 I find the more time spent with friends the less insane i become, maybe that's something to do with people rubbing off on each other... I think when people have the common flaws in character, in a friendship it often rots away at what they have together. Jealousy, Judgementalness, Greediness & paranoia are the ones i can think of right now... clingyness! When you can take those flaws away for a moment, you can find happiness Whoever you are, we dont have any physical barriers here, i dont see you in the flesh and so i can say this without feeling like i'm judging you or you're judging me. That is the single best thing about you writing here. Thankyou.
