Moving On especially when bonds of friendships are broken

"Moving on is not about forgetting, is not about deny-ing the memory. Moving on is about having gratitude for what has impacted your heart without having to dismiss your experience or disregard it. Moving on is about folding the memory into yourself letting it remind you that you fought for something, that you tried, that you felt."~ An extract from the book 'A gentle reminder'.

This quote is a reminder that it's okay to lose friends, best friends along the way and while the memories made will always remain something priceless but it's about accepting the fact that we as people evolve at every moment and we grow apart sometimes. It's all about learning to love and live with oneself first before trying to love someone else.

What are your opinions on this?

friendship was once just the societal connection based on mutual survival.  Today we use it as a hobby of distraction, a tool of measurement and a depository of success and failure.  In the present climate of consumerism friends are a resource to be mined, to be displayed or the stepping stool of the uncertain to bolster esteem.  It appears to be difficult to maintain authenticity, whatever that is, in our social connection.  Perhaps social media has destroyed that aspect - you just don’t have to like your neighbour anymore, you can just look up new neighbors across the globe!

maybe if we regressed to the concept of mutual survival our societies could be less fractious, more cohesive with a good sense of direction that benefits all.  Sometimes it just seems as if we have replaced friendship with tribalism, and feudal tribalism at worst Agh!

just thoughts - we have more in common than what we perceive as division.
