Just Thinking...

Cynicism is the key to success... Or at least thats what I believe. However that notion isn't applicable to relationships. (note: the term 'relationship' encompasses friendships as well) Lately I've been thinking alot about my friendships with others and evaluating the genuiness of them. What I've noticed is the more your are centered around yourself the lower your retention rate of relationships will be. Being a selfish person to begin with will,in fact, bring you many friends, but as time winds down--those friends will slowly and furtively find a way slip out the side door.

Relationships are interdependent amongst both parties. That interdependent neccessity will determine the length and strength of the bond both parties share. When the bond becomes humdrum and one focused the interest in the relations is hieghtened with one party and lessened with the other--much like a balancing scale. Without a proper balance there is no more bond.

Naturally we all want others to like us. We desire and crave that social acceptance of some social group. Well, cynical people have somewhat of an upperhamd with this becuase they have subconciously engendered a strategy to attaining the attention and friendship of others. They are lowkey thirstier for that social acceptance than the selfless person. They earnestly seek a way to befriend all peoplethat matter. However the paradigm that ive noticed serves as the bane of all relationships with a cynic; once the people have befriended the cynic and gotten to view the quintessential personality of this individual, they soon look for an escape route. Heretically to this notion, many would tell this friend about their selfish habits. This may serve as the final prerequisite to a broken relationship becuase it now depends on the cynic to either embrace or refute change. It is the evaluation or recognizance of which path was chosen by the cycnic that now
determines the continuation or death of that relationship.

P.S. I'm in FLA bitch!! =D
