My reality perspective on the elusivity of a true friend:
I am an individual who loves to communicate with the 'inner person' but due dads death I lost a soulbond and the reverse became a reality through monther ( who made that an impossibile reality in the home) and then WT lifestyles decades ( that kinda thinking was off limits!). The nearest became gran who had lots of 'old notions' about what is spoken and what is not so guesswork was high on the agenda again.
So fast forward to the last few years:
Doing that now has become a misnoma! Everyone is a mirage and evaporates whenever you approach their reality!
So to me a true friend is one with a sincere, active and compassionate interest in ones welfare, lifestyle and general pathway through life whose wish is to share their reality with you!
So there is no onus on either party except how they choose to look out for each other and predominnatly to inform and communicate to each other in ways which are always 'on the level', 'on the lookout' and 'looking for opportunity'.
So all my life I have been looking for an opportunity to engage suchlike ones but to zero avail!
I must be mistaken! Based on my reality - very much so!
