Breaking Up with Good Friends Basically Comes Down to Three Things: The Price of Human Nature
Through three short stories, this article explores three fundamental human issues leading to friendship breakup: habit, taken-for-grantedness, and false friendship. The first story tells of forgetting gratitude due to habitually receiving, leading to envy and breakup. The second emphasizes that others' kindness shouldn't be taken for granted. The third distinguishes between friends who only talk tough afterward versus those who actually help in crisis (the dog). The article concludes that true friendship requires cherishing, understanding, and gratitude, noting that friends who stay together long-term are family members in life.
