It's hard to write when you don't have much to say, you just know that you should be saying something. We need to be active in the world, do we not? Active in our minds at least.

So I'll say that I think they who try to nurture many, many friendships are ego maniacs. They seem friendly enough, but they have nothing really to give anybody, therefore the only person really benifiting is themselves. While it may seem selfish to put friendships in terms of who gets and who doesn't, that's really what they are about and I would further suggest that it's what all relationships are about. Or maybe I do have to cut it up finer and suggest that it's simply what everything is about.

So, I'm really bad about sabotaging friendships with people who don't have enough to offer. I know, I know, I could be accused of being the ego maniac, poor me, but what is a friendship? A give and take. To just give, well, that's just charity. It's great to be charitable, really, but it's not really a relationship. I'll give, and I'll give, but let's call a spade a spade, it's charity.

I don't know. I suppose I'll ask this question. How many men are capable of being wonderful husbands to three wives? How much time do we have for thirty friendships? We don't, why bother? Burn bridges, walk away.
