Friendship Sacrificed on the Altar of Selfishness

 A lot of good friendships have come to an end due to selfishness. Friendships that could go a long way to support each other. 

Friendships that give comfort, healing and warmth from the pressures of this life. Friendships that give a sense of direction in this crooked life. These unique kind of friendships have come to an abrupt end due to the self.

The self that is insatiable. The self that seeks only its own. The self that only wants to do things its way all the time. The self that won’t succumb to any change regardless of the changing scenes of this life. A little adjustment which may be temporarily uncomfortable to the self won’t be tolerated by the self.

The self that enjoys its way of doing things from day one and will not change to accommodate anyone or anything else. The self that does not look at the future and what good the future will bring. The self that is stuck in the past and the old way of doing things. The self that won’t tolerate the slightest change; has sacrificed a lot of beautiful friendships.

If only the self will appreciate the goodness the future will bring and move out of the past. If only the self won’t fight the very change that will bring a break through to it too. If only the self will endure the few periods of discomfort and await the goodness the future brings. If only the self will let go of itself, good friendships will not be sacrificed on the altar of selfishness.
