friendship...a gift worth receiving life long

"If a man does not make new acquaintance as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone. A man, Sir, should keep his friendship in constant repair."
- Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784) British lexicographer.

This is a phrase that has touched me very much..i have heard this long back...at that time i had my friends with me and i thought...what a stupidity..as long as i have my friends here...y i need to create new ones???and i never found the need to create new friends..i was content with my existing friends...cos they were the best..and still are the best...
But as time changed,everything changed...not that the intensity of friendship reduced...but all have moved out in their own way..chasing their dreams..new careers,new places,new friends....suddenly i feel left alone...i cant blame my friends,cos they are busy in their careers...am thankful to them that they never miss an opportunity to keep in touch...but is that enough?? as said that man is a social animal, he always need companionship..and there is no limit to the number of friends a man can have..
now i feel a vacuum around me...feels all left alone....may be cos am in the same place and everyone moved out..so i am spending my time reviving old friendships...as i am really finding it difficult to create new ones...i need to repair my friendship and also build new ones...never be content with what you have...always find ways to rejuvenate existing friendships..and at the same time not miss any opportunity to create new ones...
friends are those special breed of people who can turn the tables your way even in your worst nightmares...so never miss an opportunity to create friends,build friendship and maintain them..

i think, we start getting these 'feelings of loneliness', once we start working,once when we are on our own..it 's the way of life..it was all together a different world when we were in college...now,life just moves on & on and everybody moves along with it..
