WHO DO YOU TRUST
Much has been said over time about friends and what you can/can't or should/shouldn't tell them. What I find most interesting is how our relationships change over time.
A person you may confide in this year, may not have your best interests in mind next year. How and who we trust with our most important information is a tricky question.
I have a friend, at least I think he is my friend, who I have shared most of my feelings with through out the years. We really don't have that much in common oddly enough. I think he makes about twice my yearly income, lives in a huge home on the other side of town, and drives very expensive cars. On the other hand we share something in common. We have the same view of the an organization that we both belong to. We have our frustrations, our happy times, our sad times, and our most joyful memories all wrapped up in the same nice little package.
We go through the same day to day trials wondering at times why, and who, and if it is all worth it. But what would happen if one of us were to change inside the organization to the point where we suddenly forgot about the other one. Would we, could we, simply forget about the other ones feelings, or even worse, would we use them against each other?
I hope not, but we will never know unless it happens. I would think that friends would remain friends even though power might step in and try and take over. But who is to say, does power corrupt and absolute power corrupt absolutely?
One day you may read about the friend I lost.
