Friendship is work

It's true-- it takes work to make a friendship go. But I'm seeing a disturbing trend among younger people-- just chuck your friends in the trash if it's not working the way you hoped it would. Plenty more where those ones came from. So it seems as if people get into a friendship, see what they can get out of it and then at the least little bump in the road, abandon ship, pretend they never knew the person, meet someone else and start the cycle again.

To me, a friendship takes work. If something doesn't seem right, talk about it. If someone offends you let them know. But don't just toss people aside the way you toss last year's iPod. We've become, sadly, a disposable society and it seems that's translating into relationships as well.

My big question is:

What are these people going to do when they run out of people to toss aside? How will they react when they're the ones getting tossed in the trash?

Time will tell.
