Comte De Monte Cristo

Here rests the thoughts of an immortal, making of what the world hath thrown at him.

"My dear count," cried Morcerf, "you are at fault--you, one of the most formidable logicians I know--and you must see it clearly proved that instead of being an egotist, you are a philanthropist. Ah, you call yourself Oriental, a Levantine, Maltese, Indian, Chinese; your family name is Monte Cristo; Sinbad the Sailor is your baptismal appellation, and yet the first day you set foot in Paris you instinctively display the greatest virtue, or rather the chief defect, of us eccentric Parisians,--that is, you assume the vices you have not, and conceal the virtues you possess."

Drifting Friends... Its part of life.

My friends,

Though, sometimes people think up stuff like "we were so good friends last time, now look at us, merely finding common ground" OR "now I cannot even remember his/her habits!". I say to you, these are parts and processes of our lives, we all must go through them. No matter how you want it to be, it will always happen, drifting apart is a necessity of life.

For all you social people with lots of friends out there, I do have advice for you. I had seen in my entire life, people ruined by friendship. Why you might ask? Simply because they put too MUCH emphasis onto friendships. Friends are important, but they are not everything... even though your friends might dwindle, do not be affected because of it. Do not sob, weep, be depressed or even think of attempting suicide just because your friend dumped you or threw you aside. These are foolish acts, small insignificant things can add up to something big. Make life simpler, do not complicate things. Simplicity is better than complexity.

For all you non social people (like yours truly), I recommend also the same thing. People like us have a small social circle. Do not be crushed by your best friend's downgrade(from Best friends to maybe casual friends) due to not catching up or arguements nowadays. Remember to make just a few more friends, not to cover up, but to know that life is more than that 1 special friend. Of course go ahead and "designate" that special status to that 1 friend, however, remember the rule. Simplicity is better than complexity.

I always believed in the allocation of time, make best use out of it. Even you are so tempted by the world, remember the one single sentence, "everything has to start from something"... So,

Will that something/somebody be you? Choose your path today :) Have a good evening.
