I just got a text message, forwarded message actually, from a friend that says:
A friend is never a coincidence in our life, they are once a stranger, meant to come into our life to bring you priceless lessons and funny memories. Thanks for being one!"
Well, of course I feel grateful for having been remembered on an ordinary day. I agree to some points of that message except for one thing. I like to debate on a "stranger" outlook in finding a new friend. I've been simply convinced that everyone of us, regardless of identifying groups (blood, geographical locations, races, religion, economic status, etc) has been known to each other since time before the formation of the earth, sun, stars, and the whole universe. Everyone is part of a whole, which means every man are interconnected to one another and it's useless to assign various relationships to just selected people. I can refer to the "whole" as love.
As we (appear to) face a person the first time, we should recall such divine connection between us and establish a harmony for a better world to live in. We may find some people to be pleasant while others are not, but we should look at things as it is. There may be personality clashes due to everyone's differences but these things can be worked out right by the gift of wisdom. Our physical existence on earth is a privilege because it is our chance to experience our own creations. We tend to meet one another because we are bound to give and receive love freely, and to realize each moment who we really are. Great to see life this way rather than live in the delusion of fear.
To conclude with, I therefore agree with the forwarded message in the sense that a friend, or any kind of relationships are worth it. It could never be a coincidence in life but rather a reason for every worthy experiences.
