<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\nIn friendship, power always has its downward curve. One\u2019s strength to manage rises always higher until there comes a time one does not win, and though one may not really lose, still from time to time that victory is not sure, one\u2019s power slowly ceases to be strong. It is only in a close tie such as marriage, that influence can mount and grow always stronger with the years and never meet with a decline. It can only happen so when there is no way to escape.

<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\nFriendship goes by favour. There is always danger of a break or of a stronger power coming in between. Influence can only be a steady march when one can surely never break away.

<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\nI hope you realize or understand me enough, that I try to focus on the positive side of life. Life is too short. This is a lesson I learned later in life. When I made the comment that you were the craziest chick I had ever met, I would consider that the greatest compliment that I could give. In my life time I have met or come in contact with at least 100,000 people. To be considered the craziest is quite an honor. I used to think that I was normal and everyone else is crazy. Through life lessons I have learned it is the other way around.
