Most of us usually consider ourselves to have a very realistic point of view, about other problems, which for me is an indication of the narcissistic attitude of the generation. It has occurred to me that somewhere between empathy and hypocrisy, we’re clearly contradictory about what we really think when someone is telling us his problems.
Do we have the correct reaction? Or are we being unsympathetic with our friends in hard moments?
Imagine that you were being told a personal story by a truly loved friend, and you’re just listening. Initially you want to be authentic and share his emotions, and understand his point of you. It’s pretty difficult; you haven’t experience what they had been through before, and those experiences can negatively, encourage them to change attitude.
In my personal opinion, you don’t know how heartwarming it can be when someone finally understands your point of view, your pain. But on the other hand, the problem is that your friend won’t encourage your hard to define behavior, they just listen to you.
The truth is, friends leave their own personal drama to listen to your situation, but that doesn’t mean that they have experienced the same drama before. Innocence is the lack of experiences in life issues; and that, just that, exonerates friends of guilt. Even if that fact can make then be insensitive. The color of life has never been black or white.
The wisdom of friendship is charming, and for its knowledge, we should be thankful. Friends are trying to accept you as you are. In their own way.
Finally, ignorance is a growing ill in the world, and in my opinion, the cause of many problems in this unpredictable world. Don’t ignore your friends, love them. Friendship helps against all the hallucinations of the daily life.
