< To abandon that useless social contact>

Hot 1831 views. 2015-9-22 23:08 |Individual Classification:Life

I was touched a lot by an article called < To abandon that useless social contact>. Here I want to translate some passages which seems like cruel but also real.

“In many cases, such a rejection, you think you have left telephone NO and wechat with each other, should be able to help each other. But forget a very important thing: only the relationship is equal, can help each other.”

 “We always go to participate in social contact, but do not know that a lot of social contact doesn’t work, seems to have left a phone call, but just a call in vain when you need help.”

 “All in all, because we are not good enough...”

“It’s cruel, but who would like to help a person without reservation.”

“If you are not strong enough, that social contact doesn’t work actually.”

“When you are not strong enough or not good enough, don’t spend too much of your time to socialize, take time to read and improve your professional skills.”

 

“But there is still true friend in the world. No matter when, no matter you are poor or cowardly, she (he) is willing to help you, just because you experienced something together, both of you never abandon each other. Both of your help, no need to exchange at equal value, only the feeling of equality, that’s good.”

 “This kind of person is not required too many, in this pompous world, just a few is good enough.”

“So, to abandon that useless social contact, improve yourself, to make the world greater. At the same time, believe that there is good friendship exist in the world, exist in each others' heart, keep it quiet…”

 

To a certain extent, I think it’s reasonable. When we are in trouble, we always want someone could lend a help, but in fact, why do you think they will help you, except for your family or very few true friend.

We meet a lot of people in our lifetime. Not all can become our real friends. To be real friends, both has to go through a long testing time and the friendship need time to develop.

The friends we meet through social circles can only be seen as contacts. We have basic information about them and what they do. We keep their contact for use when we need to contact them. We cannot expect much from these friends as they have not gone through the test of time which is important for friendships. The normal reaction when you meet these friends are; ''How are you'' but they don't want to know how are you and go on to other things. The next thing they would say is ''lets have lunch together sometime'' but again they don't mean it.

Sometimes we meet people who we have an attachment and feel they can become longer term friends and if both sides have compatible interests, friendship can develop. Most of the other friends we meet socially are the ''hello and goodbye'' type. You cannot count on them for help when you are desperate because people are by nature self protective and a bit selfish.

Your own family is the final recourse. When you have dropped to the lowest point in life with nowhere to turn to, your own family would normally embrace you.

Our true and trusted friends normally come from our childhood or school days. These friends have gone through the test of time. We can count on these old friends for emotional and materialistic help when we are desperate.
