Friendships - Gained and Lost

Sometimes in Life,
We got to take a step back and re-evaluate,
Our priorities in Life.
Essentially,
Every man is an island,
No one is truly altruistic.

For me,
Friendship is of paramount importance.
Loyalty and Brotherhood shape the person that I am today.
That's why I feel extremely bothered, concerned and ultimately,
Saddened,
When I project into the future,
And all I see are friendships being tested and lost.
I will try my best and ensure that my bleak assessment don't materialise.
While it will may be inevitable,
That bonds may not be as strong as before,
With each passing phase of Life,
The basis on which our friendships are forged,
Should not be forgotten and left to dissipate.

I can only hope,
And do my best.

Sometimes,
Adversity can bring out the best or worst in a person.
We shall see.
It shouldn't be that fragile,
But Reality is harsh.
We got to accept that.
