All of those things are fine and good- to a point. When we get to a point where we become leaches and are not being a friend back to that person then I feel that we need to take a step back and make some changes. Relationships are not supposed to be a one way deal, it is a give take, not a take and take some more. We end up sucking all the patients and happiness out of our friends. That is not ok. If we expect to be loved than we need to show love. Lets try to respect each other a little more. We are, after all, a community. Don't make problems out of thin air.
Now, I wrote this using the word "we" because I dont feel that I have always been a good friend. And I know for a fact that I have done things to get attention (positive or negative). This was not ment to be a put down to anyone. I just felt that we needed a little refresher :)
Maybe, instead of risking our lives we should be giving our lives to one another. Showing love to one another is much harder than diving in front of a bullet for someone.
