Mental Chemistry

I have not been writing for the whole January 2008. It was a busy month, with lots of work and weddings to attend. It’s already the beginning of a new year, moving fast and without realizing, it’s already February. Another cycle of life for this year – hope new things will happen in my life. Christine came back but will be leaving soon for U.K. I will surely miss her. Lately, I have not been communicating well with her, always arguing about things. Hope she will be successful in her work in the U.K. Marmalade used to say you won’t treasure a person when they are near to you but you will when they are not with u anymore. By the way, Marmalade is also leaving for six month course. Good friends are all going far away. The same thing happened more than a year ago, Noorul went to WB for a period of two years.

You don’t meet or easily get to know good friends. Most of them would like to take advantage of you. But lucky me, some of whom I mentioned their names above are good friends. Good friends are rare species. You need good friends with the same mental chemistry (although Tresna (the lover) and Marmalade (the warrior) do not agree with this term – according to them there is no such thing as mental chemistry). Mental chemistry means the mindset, thinking pattern, knowledge that can all be tuned together among friends or can tolerated by each other. If there is an argument or disagreement, it would not lead to confrontation but would be more of a professional discourse.

You don’t have this kind of friends. Most friends want to put through their views, preferences and ideas. There is no more team spirit or oneness in thinking wavelength. It’s more of an individualistic approach and self-centred. In this kind of environment friends will each fight for glory and success without caring for others and even to the extent of backstabbing close friends.
It’s no more mental chemistry, it’s mental torture.

Well,
nowadays, especially in the globalised and liberalised world, everything is all about competition.People compete among each other in basically, everything.So,having really good friends is an added advantage for us. Threfore, we must cherish them.Because, they can sometimes make us realise/guide/lead how we can have better life.

But at times,a friend can be our foe in just split seconds.Actually, there are factors that will support their behaviour such as.. power, position, money..or any other competitive advantage they have over us.

So,in choosing/making friend, just be careful, coz there is increasing level of back stabbers out there and it will increase level of mental torture too!!!
