Lets talk about this for moment. When you hear this saying what does your mind automatically think of? Does it think of clothes, cars, jewelry? Materialistic things? Except, have you ever thought about people being part of that list? If you have enlighten me. As a 22 year old I have my circle of friends who have their friends which those friends have friends so the circle shortly becomes a web and the web can get sticky and claustrophobic. Well, one of my close friends decided that some of his friends were no longer the people that he could trust. I won’t go in full detail of what happened but I will say that his recent decision provoked me to write this blog post. In my head as I learned about his decision I thought of this saying. “Quantity vs. Quality.”
A lot of people want nice clothes, fancy/expensive cars, and jewelry and what have you, but most importantly people want to have people. As a human race we are attracted to others in a sexual way, but usually we are attracted to people who imitate the same way of living and beliefs as we do. Thats how we create “friends”. Once we find these people we get attached and want to have them in our lives. Friends are still people. They will make mistakes or do things that we don’t agree with. Though after time and time again of disappointment we get tired of the heart ache. That is when “Quantity vs. Quality” comes in.
People who cause us heart ache, disappointment, loss, frustration, anger, etc. are people who we must say sayonara! I know you know someone who gives you at least one of these emotions. If you don’t you’re fortunate! Eliminating these people is okay. They just aren’t meant for us and our lifestyle. That doesn’t mean we are better than they are in any way. It just means that we outgrew them. Life will go on we will constantly meet other people and they will give us what we need in that time. That is the great thing about friends. You have the control of who you allow to spend your time with, your secrets with, your passions with. Once you choose to keep them it is okay to choose to not keep them later. Life is always changing because we are constantly evolving becoming better, and wiser. Thus, the quantity of friends we have shortens, but the quality of friends becomes greater.
