I've often been both saddened and shocked that most people take better care of their houseplants than they do the relationships in their lives.
All relationships take work. Business, personal, intimate, familial....they all require time and effort. Few people realize that and are willing to do what needs to be done.
Yet we go on using the word "friend" to describe "people we know."
Has "friendship" been reduced to that?
