Friendships…
Bygedra deur nadinesmit op Oktober 12, 2007
In life we come to know that not all friendships are meant to last, and not all of them do. Some stay preserved through time and some stand the test of distance, even the lack of contact can be bridged…
But, a lot of friendships die, even if they can handle any or all of the above. Why is that? Why is it that we trust people and grow to love them, only to lose them after a while…
Cobus, a Q for you. Do you believe that certain people cross our paths because their influence for that period of time is an experience that has an effect on us and ultimately helps us grow in who we are? That certain friendships are made only to last until you outgrow them or their purpose?
I guess you know what I’m refering too, I resently lost a friend and to my regret it didn’t end on the best or nicest note… But I learned a lot out of the friendship and I will never forget it…
I’m just wondering a lot these days about this subject…

I would just formulate it a little differently, look at my posts about determinism here and here, then you might see why.

I agree with you… Thank you. But I would like to discuss it some more.
Why do we outgrow friendships and how do you know when a friendship is outgrown?
