Wellness Tip for Peace: Don't say goodbye because it cuts everythig. It makes people numb & cold. Don't cut the communication line; don't go away. Stay and be a friend still.

But this time, respect the friendship. Guard it against malice. Protect the friendship because it is already fragile, broken, that was just fixed by two consenting adults, you and your friend. Friends are forever for as long as conflicts were settled. Most of the time, conflicts were brought by uncontrollable passions in accidental settings. Uncontrollable because the chemical reaction is so strong that weakness overpowers the strength of character. Accidental because, as friends, no one would ever think of doing something bad to his/her friend, but rather the circumstances lead them to the situation where their discipline to be tamed were tested. Friendship was broken because both succumb to temptation, which is beyond on what should friendship should be, that is pure, free from malice, and as it is called brothers and sisters. We do not talk about friends "with benefits" here because that is romantic relationship already where the lovers eventually became the best of "best friends" after being just "best friends" or "plain friends". Pure and simple friendship for life is possible, for as long as both agrees to respect its purity and innocense. Friendship will always be tested, but it is the honesty to one self that can determined its purity. If the intentions are not pure, then it is not friendship, but business. Business has a price to pay and deals to negotiate while friendship do not have that. It is in friendship where one can actually experience the practice of pure intimacy and "holistic" unconditional love. Save the friendship, if you can, do not say goodbye, because you care for the person, more than anything else, beyond physical and material gains, beyond fulfilling your fantasy, beyond what you need, you "simply just care" for the well-being of your friend, that is why you want to take care of him/her for life!
