What happens when friends, who mean so much to you, don’t return the favour?
A bestie queried me the other day, with considerable perplexity in her voice about how one should deal with friends who take advantage of one’s good gestures and take one’s love for granted. "It happens," I told her. I may sound somewhat cynical, but except for childhood friends, we call the many of the rest ‘friends’ just for the heck of it. It’s a self-serving world and if we face reality, we shouldn’t keep high benchmarks and expectations of loyalty and support from our so-called friends.
