Friends & Trust !!!!!!!!!!

Why do people come into one's life..
I always believe there is some reason because of which they come to your life.. and once that's reason seize to exist.. then they fade away.. n then there are some people who you will find always around you .. to give that helping hand.. the shoulder to cry upon.. to give the tactful advice when you need it and stop you from making the fool of your self..

Now these people we call them as FRIENDS..

What does a friend mean.. the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem and affection along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis.They will also engage in mutually helping behaviour , such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviour. Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them.A friend is a hand that is always holding yours, no matter how close or far apart you may be. A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care. A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

But then what happens if they come to harm..
And this harm is done unintentionally by the friend.. and there has been a small slip..
Because of this small slip the trust is lost.. how much ever you try to alter the things.. and try to convince the people involved that it was unintentionally.. it does never change..

Because the whole basis of the relationship was TRUST..
Its such a powerful word..

I had read somewhere.. that

“Trust is like a vase.. once it's broken, though you can fix it the vase will never be same again."

And I have come across situation's that seem so true.. The circumstances have lead it to be what they are in the present.. And one has to stop and wonder.. Why couldn't they just stop and think and realise that the person wouldn't have meant no harm.. As they say

It takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it..


And what happens then..

This blog is dedicated to all the people who have come into my life.. and who had left their impressions on me.. and those who are not with me for what ever reasons.. and for those who left me because I hurt them in some reason or the other ( knowingly or the unknowingly ).. Sorry if i did hurt you..
Thank you all for coming into my life.. :)

Finally

You meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet. But sometimes you meet those people you can't forget. Those are your 'friends.


Hope all of us do take times to remember our friends.. as they are so very precious..

hey ,, im the first one here.. :) !! Well i have to say that your right about the Trust part of it. But if the mistake is big enough to break that trust, I think the best is to give each other space and then rebuild. Its never going to be the same relationship, but maybe the broken pieces can join together to a more fulfilling relationship.. thats my take :D!

The good thing about friends is that they never forget your good times even if you do.. and they are bent to forget your bad times when you are bent to remember
them..

I have made many friends in all these years.. and have let some friendships die... to rediscover the joy of a chance encounter later on in life..

I believe the only thing that counts on this earth is how many people you touched.. and how many people touched you... and friends go a long distance here...

I believe every great relationship on earth... parenthood, blood relations, sister/brotherhood, doctor-patient, teacher-student... all boil down to friendship.. the most fundamental human relation..!

Well composed..!

Enjoy and Take care..

‘I was born too late into a world that doesn't care’ – do you know this song?

It’s better not to bother about jerk friends. Those people, who are happy with new friends, or bored out of old ones, or don’t have time to remember or think distance will separate friendship. They ain’t worth it.

But if a good friend did something unintentionally and we lost trust, when he/she realises it, I think we should regain the trust progressively; we all are human beings and we may do mistakes intentionally and unintentionally.

Anish said...

Good post. I think trust is a very strong emotion. And it has many shades of gray. Everyone has different levels of trust with others.. e.g. you'd blindly trust your parents to be there for you, whatever it may be - which I'd define as extreme trust. Simple trust is to believe that train driver to safely get you from point A to B. Likewise there are middle and other grounds for/of trust. We all make mistakes. Sometimes, the same one more than once. Often we learn, sometimes not. Losing and gaining is as much part of life as anything else. Pain from loss of trust could be directly proportionate to one's expectation from that individual? Finally, I believe that life's one big chance - trusting yourself to make the most of it is probably equally important - with/without the various friends that one makes along the way :)

Shantanu :

i completely agree by what u said.. good friends make things look so much more beautiful.. they bring a different light to things.. u end up seeing everything in a new way..

ani said...

shaji..

hnnm song doesnt ring a bell.. but will check it out though..

i agree by what u said.. but the whole point being.. u cant exactly say or know if it was unintentional or not.. or was geniunely meant..

ani said...

anish..

yaayyy u did comment.. thank u..

and yes trust is on different levels.. some of them recives the trust blindly and we believe what ever they say or do.. with a seconds doubt.. but some we still think about and then decide.. some are expected because we know thts how they are done.. even if its to make decisions on ur own or rely on some one else..

The Seeker said...

Well, I suppose i'm the last to comment! well, you know whats with me! just working. Wonderful post! thought for food, at times! Friends do make you feel down, but I believe once you're a friend, you're always!!!

And it takes a lot to be a FRIEND. i dont think one event can upset a great deal in life

Lena said...

yes, we are so irresponsible at times that unintentionally we might do something to ruin relationship.
But personally think that if both parties are willing to put efforts and if they agree to get over the past mistakes they can get this trust back, maybe not in the same way but it will be there, it might take double as much time to be rebuilt than it took before, but sometimes it is worth this time.. though i agree these might be rare situations.

Kartz said...

That was wonderful... Your dedication was... poignant... Your friends should be proud of you as you are, of them.

Peace.
