QUESTIONS ABOUT FRIENDSHIP
 
Two people were friends, and pledged to remain so with a vow. One of those friends, for whatever reason, forsook the friendship and left. The other friend, committed to the vow, continued to pursue peace with that other person and reestablish the friendship.

a) What should happen to the first friend who broke their promise?
b) What should the second person do, seeing as they actually valued the friendship, now that the first person is gone? Should they continue to pursue it or will it be an exercise in futility?
c) Why would the first person have left despite their vow?
d) What should be the second person's course of action now that they have been betrayed?

Please be thorough in your answers. Thank you for your assistance in this non-hypothetical matter.

I recommend sharing a spam sandwich.

I, for one, do not put up with forsooking. I'd pop a cap in his ass. But that's just me.

Then I'd eat the sandwich.

Shawnee you just made me choke on my coffee.

Shawnee123 07-30-2007 09:08 AM

Then my work here is done. Go in peace to heat and serve the spam. :p

A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.

Maybe the second guy preached so much that it seemed to the first guy to be more important to the second than the friendship, so he split. Therefore, it was actually the first guy who was betrayed, not you.

Well, this Gannet has certainly stirred up a ruckus. I wonder if 495 is the number of friends he or she lost to heavy-handed proselytizing.

Nothing like a common enemy to unite us, eh?

Uisge Beatha 07-30-2007 11:57 AM

Aha! Maybe glatt hit it with united -- is this a trick by Rexmons and/or Usup? :haha:

They should seek out, and destroy, all who interfere in the relationship

c) Why would the first person have left despite their vow?
Probably lured away from a decent relationship by some Nazarene.

Drive a truck bomb into a kindergarten.

I think the first person has realised that people grow and change, and the second needs to realise this.
I think the second person is in love with the first person, but that is not requited.
I think both of these people are in high school.

I tell you what, when you Cellarites put your minds to it, you come up with the most thoughtful, introspective, intelligent, and quintessential answers I have seen in my (cough)-odd years in this world.

God love ya!:p

yesman065 07-30-2007 12:51 PM
