Friends can make, friends can mar.
Good friends stay through with you, cry through with you and smile through with you. The ship called friend-SHIP sets sail for travel through long distances irrespective of the turbulence and storm or waves or tide.
The vessel can only sail to it's destination successfully without an automatic self-destruct if the sailors on board work hand in hand to direct it. Sailing this boat isn't always easy at all times because a smooth sea doesn't make a good sailor.
Experience they say, is the best teacher. Through my experience, i have met people who remained acquaintances, those who became friends and those who have become family. This doesn't mean the sail has been smooth, we've disagreed and criticized each other yet we let the fact that we're unique and different be the compass to guide.
Disagreements isn't the problem, but the inability to identify the problem and finding solutions to resolve the issue without tarnishing each others self esteem, respect and ego.
The vessel called "frienSHIP" is a "relationSHIP".
