6 candid thoughts about friendship and growing up



Website and Psychologies lead story of the poet and philosopher David White about how the inevitable disappointment and a real friendship helps us to grow and become stronger.



Friendship - a reflection of our presence in the life and testimony of forgiveness. Friendship not only helps us to see ourselves through the eyes of another - it can withstand years only to those who time and again forgive us our faults, as we find the strength to forgive in turn friends.

A true friend knows our difficulties and our shadow and remains close - and often when we are vulnerable and shows weakness than when we experience success and was ruled by the strange illusion that does not need friends.

Deep within this friendship - a blessing, because we can open it in the original form again and again, through understanding and compassion. No matter how many lasting friendships, it is based on constant, mutual forgiveness. Without tolerance and compassion, friendship dies.
Over the years, a close friendship always reveals the shadow side to the other person, as well as in ourselves. To remain friends, we need to know the other, his difficulties, and even the sins and awaken in him the best - not crashing with criticism and addressing the best in him, the main creative facets of his personality, so imperceptibly easing that understates it does less generous, does not allow himself to be.
High standard of friendship - not to improve yourself or others, a higher measure - to be a witness. The franchise opened under the loving gaze of friends and is the same privilege to be awarded the honor of seeing the most sacred in close friends, to go with them for life and I believe in them, sometimes accompany them, even for a short time, a journey that no one can make it alone.
You can not protect yourself from frustration, sadness, grief. Broken heart - the natural result of our love and care about someone or something over which we have no control ... The first crack in the heart occurs when we are asked to let go, but we can not, in other words, frustration and sadness settled in us, and increase the paint as a magnifying glass, every day; broken heart - not short-term phenomenon, it is the road, which has to go to everyone, even the most ordinary, the "average" person.

Broken heart - a sign of our sincerity: in love, in work, in an attempt to master a musical instrument, in an attempt to become more generous. Broken heart - a great helpless part of love, its essence and emblem.
The path to adulthood is through a broken heart; and yet we say "broken heart", as if it only means that something went wrong: Love has not met reciprocity shattered dream.

But perhaps a broken heart - the core of our human existence, the main thing on the way out of here on the other side, thanks to him we learn to love the fact that we meet on your way. There is almost no road available to man, which It did not lead to a broken heart.
Realizing their inevitable nature, we can look at the disappointment and grief through different eyes: not as the end of the road, or the death of hope, but as a hug that we always want or are about to lose.

Broken heart asks us not to look the other way, because no other way. It calls us to what we love and have always loved, asks the inevitable question, and often beautiful.

Broken heart - things and people that have been with us since the beginning, asking us to be ready when the time comes to let go for the last time.
