Fake Friendship.

Recently, I was given an opportunity to reflect on human relationships once again.
Being friendly and having a deep friendship are totally different things. After all, haven't I experienced firsthand how it was like, when facing the death of a loved one, the affection between even parents and children can grow almost cold, approaching zero?

And yet, due to the frailty of human nature, I acted as if those ties were significant—giving affection, relying on others, trusting them—only to realize once more the futility and vanity of such actions.
With this realization, I pull myself  back from the imbalance that had leaned too heavily toward the trivial.
And with a bitter smile, I withdraw my focus.

Let's step back!
