It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

The best time: One week of vacation - relaxing at home, resolving problems with people, reading old books, eating ma’s cooked food, meeting relatives and shopping.

The worst time: Coming back – Finding out a lot of negative issues evolved between friends while you were away.

When I was fixing a part of my life's biggest problems recently, I realized that thinking about the issues didn't help me all these years. When I got down to resolving them, it was rather easy. It was easy because the other person was eager to resolve it too. What stopped this from happening before was our ego. Analyzing several other unresolved issues in my life, I find they are all ego related. I hope my friends are able to resolve their problems on their own and resume the beautiful friendship that they used to share.

Yes, ego is something which stops us from resolving problems with our friends. Maybe we should try to break our ego and bring back the lost friendship because friends are precious. But, let me tell you another thing,please do not try to force a friendship to return if your friend does not care abt it. If only your friend still cares abt you, you should care too. Otherwise don't. Even living with your ego is better in such caes.
