Friends are just like food
Some help us, some harm us.
Some inspire us to grow day by day,
Some eat into the existence of our very soul
In a way or manner, we choose what we eat
Just like the way we choose our friends
Home cooked food
Junk Food
Snacks
Medication
Outside Food
Just some of the kind of friends that we meet
Have you chosen what kind of food you eating today?
Home Cooked Food
These are friends who nurture us day by day, helping us to grow in strength and character. A mixture of meat and vegetables, proteins, carbohydrates and vitamins in between, these friends do their best to help us succeed. As we become older in life, home cooked food becomes a rarity, so savor it when you do get a chance to eat. Perhaps this is what true friends are because they make our lives complete and fulfilled. It may be simple and bland but who can ever understand the joy of simplicity? It is not the taste of the food that matters but who and how it was prepared that matters more.
Junk Food
These are friends that are there for a quick pick me up. When we are sad and down, when we are in need for someone to be there for us, they are those whom we find nearest to us and we consider them friends because of our innate need to feel loved and accepted by others. These are the kind of people who participate in frivolous things whose ideas of fun include inputting poison into one’s own body. What kind of a sick perverse concept is it to have alcohol, tar and drugs pumped up one’s veins as an idea of enjoyment. Sometimes in our hearts, our morality tells us it is wrong to waste the time away or to “kill” ourselves. Companionship is what we look for in these people and the more we eat them, the sicker we become. We become fat and obese and severely unhealthy as time passes by. If nothing is done to stop this diet of ours, such friends may eventually lead us to our “death”. We begin to lose the meaning of life and we begin to ask ourselves this question: Was the initial thrill and excitement that was promised all worth our lives?
Snacks
We have them when we feel like it, when we crave for a certain feeling or taste. We eat them bit by bit and sometimes, we eat them like there is no tomorrow. They are cheaper than junk food and more readily available, 7 Eleven, supermarkets or the nearby grocery shop. Everywhere you go you can find it. There are also more varieties to choose from and yet their origins unknown. No one really knows how they were created or what their ingredients are composed of. They work the same way as junk food except that the effects are slower. Ways of “dying” are more unique and interesting. Would you rather die quickly with excruciating pain or a slow painful death?
Medication
These are what help us to recover when we are sick, when we have a headache, a tummy ache, a sore throat or a heart burn. We look to medication to give us that relief from all the pain and suffering that our choices have caused us. Over time such intense use of medication can lead to an addiction where we become too dependent on them for us to feel good. It becomes really sad when this medication indicates how much we love ourselves.
Outside food
These are the kind of friends that appear to be like home cooked food, nurturing, caring and kind, always willing to lend a helping hand etc. However behind these curtains of deception lies a treacherous truth that may shock us all. The oil, MSG and fats slowly eat into us and cause us to fall without us even knowing about it. It becomes a convenient substitute for people who we consider our true friends. This is the kind of food that appears most commonly in our lives. Some claim they have less oil, more vegetables and are the healthier choice, how do we really know what lies on this plate?
Sometimes in life, we make lousy choices. We get friends who backstab us in the end, some who kick up a big fuss over a little disagreement, some who become emotionally unstable at the slightest moment. Yet, there are a small handful of these friends who make all the search worthwhile.
This is what i get from Gary's blog.And i think what he had said is so true..
There are just so many types of friends in this world..we do not know what they are thinking sometimes too..
i am just too tired of things going on now..
can anyone just understand what i am feeling now??
its like...
im stress with my work..and now this friendship things had to happened...
and there's nothing i can do to stop everything.
i will just tell myself to not think too much
what i want is just to be happy..
can i regain those laughters again??
i just wanna tell that someone to think carefully what you had done to make me do all this to you..
Just search your conscience..
Some help us, some harm us.
