Friendships

Within the mystery of life we attach ourselves to spiritual things that we hold beloved within our hearts and souls. In the Beginning, God created Heaven and the Earth, and filled it with life. First came Adam and Eve, who ate from the Tree of Knowledge, and therefore were condemned from the sacred garden of Eden. They spread and populated the earth, spreading God's Master Plan of human existence throughout His world. God then watched royally pertched high Above as his Creations unfolded, eventually establishing bonds of growing to love and respect each other. But, a newly learned thing called sin spurted from that Tree of Knowledge as well, and hate spread throughout the earth. But God's plan was not all in vain, for parts of his Plan still succumbed the earth with love and a special aspect known as......friendship

Friendship can be defined as a spiritual bond that is inbetween love and hate for all beings. Throughout the miracle of life, we establish these sacred bonds with others that see our ways, and often these bonds are never separated despite the tallest mountain which may ripple their path. This path of friendship is something that can endure forever, or crush into hatred that Adam and Eve learned so long ago.

A bond that knows no limits of hate is something that we may never discover. The sacred bonds of friendship we know with other people of the world is not always in happiness. Ever since the snake convinced Eve to learn of sin, we as God's Creations have sinned, even within the sacred of friendship we value so dearly. Often times we lose our delicate heads, and sin to an extent that our sacred bond of steel becomes so depressingly brittle, so brittle that it vanishes. NEVER, should a bond that you once held so dearly within your soul be broken forever, for it is up to you to take that extra once taken. You may have to climb the highest moutain, or cross the widest sea to get to the other side of the story, but this journey will not be taken alone for righteousness and the once determination that you kept with your end of this bondage will be behind you every setp of the way, until you find the friendly light at the end of the tunnel.

Friendship is not all in vain. There are times when you are plunging downward in a endless pit of despair. There are times where you are a speck within a hustling world, unable to take the agony of it all. You forget all that you learned and lived to conceive, even that sacred bondage with another. But, that other end of that sacred bondage, HAS NOT forgotten you As you morn in a pit of despair, with a blanket of darkness surrounding your spirit, the other end of the bargain is watching out for you. As you weep in a solemn corner of forlorn hope, that darkness that once surrounded you is then cloaked with a layer of impeccable light, for the friendly light of the tunnel that you worked so hard to achieve is here, next to your side. They have kept their end of the spiritual bondage that now the BOTH of you have established.
