Friendships

What is a friendship? In the most closeness of the word. I think a friend is a person who stays by you and helps you in a time of need and someone you are willing to do the same for. Someone who you can freely talk with without fear of them thinking badly of you, and the recipricol. But what happens when friendship gets torn? What happens when a friendship gets cut in such a way that two pieces of the originally same string are held by only one point.

Which side of the angle would you lie on if your line got bent and your rays are now pointing in different directions, no longer pointing the same way? What ray would you follow?

Would you follow the ray who will bring you strength and will be there until the end, but will also keep you in a state which you wish to move out of. That friend which will cause you to think about life and challenge you to be the best you can be and to force you to work until the sun has risen yet again. Will you choose the side where money is spent and corrupts, but helps you feel good. Where decisions take time and options are considered. Where new experiences lie and the path you want is laid. The side which takes you away from the rest of humanity and will cause you to drift into solitary confinement, but will also make you become who you want and learn the languages needed to be the person you need to feel fulfilled.

Or would you choose the side where fashion lies. Where the outside determines your inside. Where gossip spreads like wildfire and fuels your life waiting for another day. Would you go toward the side where frugality is considered a good thing and a walk to save money is not considered negative. Would you walk on the side where popular tv shows rule and pub quizes determine life. Would you choose the side where alcohol is prevalent and all the problems of life are drowned slowly in order to make it all seem better.

Which side would you choose? I have chosen mine for it is my dream that I must follow. And so I say goodbye to the world. If you never see me again, it is this that has occured. Aram is following his dreams, pursuing his paths, seeking the knowledge which he needs to know. As Socrates has said, "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing" and saying, "There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance." And so I rest my day in pursuance to be the next known person in history. To have my name etched in stone next to Euclid, Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Newton, Fermat, and so many other fabulous people such that I only hope to accomplish 1 tenth in my lifetime what they did in 1 year.

Regretfully yours,
Aram the Garmo
