I suppose what I'm trying to say here is that I really
Enjoy being around friendss
and feel a tremendous love for them. perhaps
that is why I started this forum with some friends.
I feel that God is trying to manifest his love hrough our friendships.
when we are not receptive we miss something
wonderful in our lives.l
true friendship does not demand anything in return. I'm making an effort
to practice  this principle more and more in my life. it surprises me
 how some people will just  take  and take but
 they miss the point. it is difficult if not impossible
to feel the love behind friendship when we do this.
there is the danger of falling behind the walls of indifference
and spiritual atrophy. paramahansa yogananda has said that
we never can find realization and enlightenment
without helping and bringing others along
with  us on the way.
