What Do we expect of a FRIEND?!

Helloooooo readers *in Marty the Zebra's voice from Madagascar* 

Well, the few readers i have sha... :D

 I couldn’t help but notice, unlike the saying 'do unto others what you want done to you', most people actually do to others what they feel like doing to them, regardless of how you'll feel if the same was done to you..

 It is a common feeling, especially with really nice people, that “well, I’m nice to you, so I expect to receive some form of niceness back”, but in this age and time, everyone just seems to think of themselves alone. What annoys me most is when these “mean people” who don’t care to listen to others, expect others to listen to them.

Like WTH, do I look like a listening bag to you? I've got mouth too you know, and i dont think God gave me this mouth to eat and eat only; OR maybe that's it, God gave me this mouth to eat in abundance, so that i can grow extremely obese, and  maybe then, you'll actually sit down and listen to me, with the fear that i could BOUNCE on your head if you don’t! Yay!!! that sounds like a MASTER PLAN *evil grin*.

 There was this really nice babe I used to know, dont get me wrong; she could be a bitch atimes, but she was always ready to listen to anyone's problems, and even have restless nights trying to find solutions to people’s problems. Now this babe, shall we call her Daisy? Yh Daisy sounds tight... RANDOM!! but that should be my future daughter's name.... So Daisy was a great kid, had a couple of friends, but was really close to three babes, they all shared an apartment, each in their individual rooms.. Now what is the problem here? Daisy was the binding glue between these four friends, she tried not to get upset when either of them got into their mood swings, which was a rather normal phase in this house...

One day, Daisy thought to herself, "I know, I’m trying to make peace and all, but common, i have feelings too, why should i always be the cool, and overlooking one, why can’t i for once be the one with the attitude problem, infact you know what, I’m going to give them all attitude today, let me see who'll come to my rescue among my so called friends"

She made this decision on a Sunday night, and woke up with an attitude on Monday morning, she didn’t go all smily and shiiiiiii into the others room, but stayed, face tied in her room.

Friend one came into Daisy's room, let's call her M shall we?

 M: Babes abeg i need hair pins

 Daisy: *uses her head to show where they were*

 M: Thanks. Ahn han.. Why are you boning  now, see you using head to talk to me sha..

Daisy : *shakes head*

 M: Seen, because I even asked... *hisses, and leaves room*

Wow!!! the expression on Daisy's face was jaw breaking! And to think that, if she were the one, she would have made M tell her what was wrong with her, and at least make her friend smile...

 "Okay, well, that's just one out of my four friends" Daisy said.

"Yo... Daisy, what time is your class today again?" Friend 2 asks

 Daisy: *with attitude* 12pm

 Friend 2: Seen! And you're still at home?

Daisy doesnt say anything, at this point friend 2 realised Daisy was giving her attitude, but tried to pocket it in.

Well, after a while Friend 2, decides to give Daisy an attitude back, without bothering to ask if Daisy was okay...

 The funny thing about this is; Daisy treats friend 2 like a sister, as in she goes extra miles for this babe..

 Now, what happened to friend 3? You know girls and the way they gossip? Well, Friend 3 had already been warned by friends 1 and 2, so she just *kukuma* avoided wahala, and didn’t show face in Daisy's room...

 This was just the beginning of the exchange of attitude between Daisy and her friends, well after a while Daisy decided to take a matured step and be the first to break the ice once again.

 Now, what exactly is my point? Why do we expect people to be good to us, when we can’t be good to them?

I know this is a really long post, and if you came this far, I'm glad you made it. But this to me is one of the major problems facing friendships today, and like a quote i came across today: "you cannot shake hands with a clenched fist”- Ghandi   “…but you can chop knuckle!”- The PervNerd

LOL!! okay, that was extremely random... *grin*

Anywayyyyzzz....
