family. work. god. relationship. etc.
but its usually friends that we take for granted.
i know i do.
recently a friend of mine tagged me on a picture on facebook.
it was a silly picture actually,
he sent his 'seasons' greeting with that picture
and i simply untagged.
i went further by making unpleasant remarks.
remarks about him and how 'fake' he was by associating himself to these festivals,
knowing that everyone of his friends would see these remarks.
little that i know that he would take it badly.
he deleted me from his facebook.
my immediate reaction was i did nothing wrong.
i was being honest, at least about my feelings.
but then i realized sometimes when we act on how we feel,
we hurt others. we hurt friends.
and i didn't want to do that.
i should have been honest but not publicly where it would
hurt or embarrass him.
you see, whatever he did was him acting on how he felt
about himself and that didn't hurt anyone.
if anything, he has always been a good friend.
sometimes even a great friend. supportive, encouraging and sincere.
i am sorry.
sorry that i took his friendship for granted.
took him for granted.
