I haven't written in this beautiful community for a long time, from my friend @wesphilbin, and I love that these weekly initiatives now exist. I invite @mercmarg and @yessi08 to participate in this beautiful activity. Here I share this week's invitation, which corresponds to number 4
This week's question is: Have you had to walk away from a friendship to preserve your inner peace? Describe the factors and reflections that impacted this decision.
Throughout life, we are always constantly evolving. I believe that human beings are not always the same, we change as a result of our experiences (good or bad). When we change, it is quite possible that we also modify the way we relate to our friends, and this is where the quality of the friendly bond becomes important, because if we value friendship, we can adapt to the changes that one or the other experiences.
Since what determines the continuity of friendship is the quality of the bond, we often have to distance ourselves from those we considered friends, because we discover and understand that friendship is not reciprocal. From my personal experience I will say that, on some occasions, what has led me to walk away from a friendship (definitively) is the loss of trust, the realization that there really was no reciprocity in the relationship, that no matter how much I gave myself, what I gave was not appreciated, but despised or worse still, used for the benefit of the supposed friend.
Loss of respect has also been a reason for me to end a friendship. If there is no respect, there is no appreciation and, therefore, there is no friendship, because friendship implies appreciation, valuing the other person. It's not worth waiting for a relationship to mend itself when it reaches a point where respect is lost. The greatest respect, the greatest loyalty must be first of all towards oneself.
And finally I will say that it is better to be alone than in bad company, especially when we see that the person we considered a friend loses his values and principles, or perhaps, we realize that he never had them, and that maintaining the supposed friendship It was for simple interest and benefit. Our own peace, our own tranquility are invaluable, they are priceless, and it is better to first appreciate oneself than to appreciate another and dedicate valuable time to those who do not value what we give them.
