So, I've been wondering something for a while now. To what extent should friendships allow for change? When you become good friends with someone, do you stay friends with them if their personality or lifestyle shifts? Is there a point in which it would be better for both of you just not to be friends?
Like, let's say you and Bob have a lot in common (you both love tennis, you're both vegetarians, etc) and become great friends. Then Bob starts eating meat, which, of course, you think is about as ethical as punching Gandhi. But he's never, say, waved raw veal in your face. Do you stay friends?
Or if you and Albert are best friends, but gradually to the point of imperceptibly both of you naturally morph into polar opposites. And not the compatible kind. Should you stay friends just for longevity's sake?
Something Interesting: No matter what crazy, nonsensical, or totally biased opinion you have, decision you're trying to make, or point you're working to prove, there will always be something, somewhere, that will give you plenty of supporting evidence or logic.
Something Annoying: My brain always kind of twitches every time I see or hear an attempted quotation or lyric, and even though just one word was misplaced or misquoted, it changed the entire meaning of the phrase. Real life example: "I'm going to make him an offer he can't reuse."
Something Amusing: Have you ever happened to watch anyone attempting to use any motion-detecting automatic device, like a automatic hand dryer, faucet, or paper towel dispenser? There's always this air of awkward confusion. It's comforting to know that in this diverse and troubled world we can all agree that none of us knows for sure where, exactly, that little sensor thing is.
