I have never fanthomed why friendships are so fragile. It seems like people walk in and out of your life so easily that you wonder, do friendships really exist in this day and age?

Some may wonder why I choose to talk about this. Well it must be based on experience that I can mention so much. Sometimes people actually take for granted those who are around them. For an instance, this church friend of mine seem to have forgotten that the people who truly cares about him. It is as though his new found friend had worried about him as much as we have, prayed for him when he seems to go astray, worry that he will one day go so far away that he leaves God. It seems like we have lost all contact with him that we don't know what is he doing or whether he is fine and well. Even his mother hasn't seen him for a day! Well this makes one wonder, are we like him, taking people for granted that they will always be there for us to approach only when things go awry?

I guess life is like that when everything seems so peaceful. We tend to take things for granted. We assume that things will still go as planned if everything is planned last minute; we think that our friends will always be there for us even if we don't make the effort to catch up with them. Do we want people to take us for granted?
