Lately i have found that my views on politics have changed to a stronger view for love and friendship. This has happened because of my love and friendship for two people who have had very different views then myself regarding politics.

It pains my heart when friendship and love are lost under false pretense. Sometimes an accumulation of events translated into ones current circumstance give off a wrong impression to our loved ones and as a consequence we lose them. I only hope should paths cross again we are seen clearly, lovingly, smarter or nicer- in any sense.. seen for all the greatness that exist in both of us.
I’m impressed by your post and it goes to show beliefs change over time, so does ones focus and love transcends.

The accumulation of events giving off the wrong impression sometimes is a test of endurance and loyalty to a relationship. We can learn much about who is real and who is not by events in our life.

Hi Steve,
I guess some people, no matter how hard you’ve tried, just don’t work out. I don’t think judging whether someone is real or not is the right way to look at things. For me at least, those that are gone were never untrue. I took a sales job for a friend years ago and watched him lose people that cared about him because his personality unfolded for the worse from the stresses of his career. I eventually grew tired of this friend too, which sounds bad to say but it happened. He knew it. Now he’s on a different path and we don’t hang out so much but talk through group messages and I still find myself weary or hesitant from particular aspects of his personality... doesn’t mean I don’t love him... I suppose My ex felt this way about me too, In some fashion. doesn’t mean she isn’t a real friend. Both of these people I’d say I’ve given a lot of my heart to. All I can really do is humble myself and make peace with the reality... should we try again I hope to be more conscious of our interactions in a way that is engaged with positivity but detached from all the drama- after years of trying some people are just hard to be around and I’m no exception to the rule. I guess you could say my one friend and I are still trying to maintain friendship despite our very conflicting personalities. I would say our love and respect for each other- is still there. Same for J and I.

God can work through true friendship. Answers come through friends.
