The patels of friendship...

Just imagine that today you went to your nearest horticulture store and bought yourself a seed for the most beautiful rose you had ever seen when you passed by a flower shop yesterday. You are all inspired to grow yourself that particular breed of rose that is so deeply intrench in you mind and in your heart.

Immediately upon reaching home you took our your pot, ur soil and the full range of gardening equipment(probably the most expensive one at it. At this point we all know that you dont have the slightest experience in gardening let a lone to grow a flower) Well, you read the instruction and with high spirit, you place a layer of soil followed by the seed and covered with the rest of the soil. Finally, fertilizers and water to add to the final touch. In your heart you said... I've done a dandy job and very soon my beautiful flower will become a reality. Days went by and daily you water the pot with soil and seed. Weeks past....Alas, the seed grew into a plant and then you got busy with other stuff in your life and the plant is left it so called its natural device...
A couple of days later when you finally remembered the potted plant that you had left outside your window. To your surprise, you dont see a flower but a witherd plant... Very dissapointed.

Well, you are not about to give up. you can still remember the beautiful flower that you had seen... ever so beautiful... So you went to the store an bought a seed. This time you ask the store owner what went wrong.. got a few tips and you head home to start the whole process again. This time you put in consistent effort and dedication to growing the seed into a plant and eventually the beautiful rose that you had seen at the flower shop a year back.

Your heart jump with joy that all the effort and dedication which you had put into growing the rose was a success. The next couple of days, you admire and enjoy its beauty through and through. At times you are also hurt by the thrones of the rose.. but your wounds heal eventually...

But to your surprise, weeks pasted and slowly but eventually, your beautiful rose began to wither and one of the day all its magnificent patels just drop of and what remains is only the but of the rose...

In your heart, you know that nothing last forever...But its was really worth it while it last... as the memories that the rose had brought with it was worth every single sweat that came out from the effort you put in growing the rose.

We may not have grown a flower in reality but we have done similar things in our life especially in our social circle. All of us grow relations and friendship from nothing which is a seed. None of us really know how to grow the relations...every single relations are as unique as we ourselves.

Definitely there are moments that the relations didnt work because we didnt put in consistent effort while others are affected by external factors.

But even when we consistently put in effort in building relations or friendship... it is so very easy to lose friends or people who we got acquinted with ... We contant ly tell ourselves that nothing last forever and get all depress and gives up in starting the whole process again..

We must remember that in any relations or friendship, at times what is important are the memories that are left behind when it comes to an end...

So is it worth it? You be the judge of it....

Any relationship is fragile and requires constant care by both party... its hard enough to find and built and its very easy to loose it

:P
