We've all heard it.... "Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry, and you cry alone". What a crock. I well recognize that for some this might well be true. There are some (a minority from personal experience) who are so narcissistic that they have never managed to have close friends (the old "To make a friend you must first be one" restricts the relationships for these individuals). I have known a few folks that have something "bent" in their makeup whereby they are just unable to put others first. For them, in their reality, everyone is probably just out for themselves. We do tend to see a reflection of ourselves in the faces of those we meet. So, if we were self centered bone heads too, that is what we would expect from everyone else. That would be our reality. In life, one does tend to find whatever one is looking for.
That is not my reality. In my world there are many who share in my experiences. They exalt in the triumphs, and are truly crushed at the things that cause me pain..... and it is mutual. How lonely to have no one to share whatever is in your heart. What a sad existence............
Thank God for friends.
