Some people are mean, some are liars and some are helpless. Then there are those who can’t stop bragging and those who are desperate- desperate to be happy, desperate to be sad and desperate to be liked. On the other hand there are happy people and helpful people and dependable people.
When all is said and done there remain two kinds of human beings, the good ones and the bad ones.
I never thought that I would come across the bad ones.....just like no one likes to think that bad things have an equal probability of happening to them than the other person. But I did come across bad people and badder people (forgive the wrong English). These people made my life miserable...I kept wondering-how is it possible for someone to be so selfish, so mean, or so rude.
But my friend always considered meeting “bad” people a good thing because it taught my friend that the world is not such a good place after all and one has to learn to live with that fact.
There are many such lessons I learnt from my friend. I learnt to appreciate imperfections and make out the silver lining in every cloud. I learnt that anything and everything in this world can be justified, you just need to know how. Most importantly I learnt that people care. Human beings have a huge reservoir of affection and love which they bestow on others through their actions and words.
I have not used a pronoun to refer to my friend. This is because each time I refer to a person by a pronoun that person loses a little personality by being delegated to a mere pronoun “he” or “she” which can be used for anyone and everyone. So my friend is just that..My Friend!!
