First time attending cell.It's pretty alright,just that when the cell leader,Cai Jie, started telling me all about how we need have a relationship with God so that we get saved and all,it's kinda uncomfortable.Afterall,the sole purpose of going there was talking to him-which sort of failed.And I wasn't exactly prepared to get into a religion now.Through the discussion,Cai Jie posted this very interesting view about relationships(so as to get to his point about how to determine the realationship with God).
Many of us claim to know our friends well.Best friends,close friends and all.Yet,how do we know that our actions are reciprocated by our friends?Do they understand our motive behind these actions?What seems to show that we care for our friends may turn out to be a nuisance or something that is very simple.Like giving someone a gift.To us,it's a gesture to show that we love and care for our friends.But to them,it may appear to be weird to receive a gift for no apparent reason.Each of us have different perspective about our relationship.We can't expect everyone to show it the way we want.So how can we measure how close we are to each other?By speech?Action?How?
We may spend lotsa time with who we claim to be our best friends.Especially when we're schooling.We tend to spend time with our close friends during recess,before and after school.To us,we're close to them,BUt we never know how they feel towards us.Our inability to read other people's mind makes it impoosible for us to know what other's are thinking.For a couple that hardly meets up,can they be counted as close?Despite the fact that they hardly meet,we know that they have a close relationship.But through what actions that they do or say guarantees and supports our feeling?Afterall,the couple would never ever have a tag around them that says 'though we hardly meet,we are very close'.Thus,what makes us sure that friends we deem as 'close',whom we meet everyday and chat,are our close friends?Or maybe,do these friends treat us as close friends as well?Are we really as close as it seems?
I used to be sure that my close friends are close to me as well.Now it seems that I may have to change the way I think.Of course, I know from the actions of my friends,we are close.Yet there are many whom I'm not sure.We seem to be close.But in actual fact,are we as close as it seems to be?
