WHY FRIENDSHIP DOES NOT LAST

When two or more individuals come together to share beliefs, ideas and act in common, friendship is said to have developed. It is however one thing for friendship to develop, it is another for such friendship to be sustained. Many friendships end up collapsing like packs of cards these days due to several factors. One of the factors is disloyalty between or among the partners involved. Ordinarily, partners in friendship should be loyal to each other or one another. They should not speak evil of each other or one another and should always defend each themselves. When the opposite is the case, friendship will break.

Partners in friendship should not do anything in secrecy. When partners are not transparent in their attitudes, this can lead to separation. Inability of partners to respect the views or opinions of each or one another can also break friendship ties so also is the inability of partners to study themselves very well to detect their weaknesses and traits.

Rumours often develop from association of human beings. Partners should not give room for rumours and gossiping from neighbours or other individuals in the society, which can break friendship.

In addition, partners in friendship should not report themselves to external party (ies) anytime there is (are) conflict(s) but should endeavour to settle these amicably. If they report to external party (ies), such individual(s) can discourage the continuity of the friendship.
