Perfidy in Friendship

I desired of making this as my 1st blog but somehow feared of not getting acceptance from the readers.
So here’s a Disclaimer: It's not directed towards anyone, it’s being framed out of feelings, so just read it as another blog written by an amateur.
It’s a very trite but emotive topic; the one um sure must have made all of us affianced to it.
For once, I used to think Betrayal was in vogue. Every time I trusted a comrade and the next thing I blessed with -Infidelity. The reason for alienation is still vague to me, but that was surely an era when my only companion was “Me”. Sharing of feelings was something, I became ignorant of. Still the irony is: I too may have hurt few of them, but I can always confer a reason behind my (considered) sins.
“Best friend” was something that was being obliterated from my word dictionary. I doubted the presence of a single person who can take care of someone unconditionally. So consequently the word “friend” also got affected (according to the butterfly effect) :). All the past circumstances related to that individual seem to give no authentification to the bond of friendship and was labeled as superfluous. Albeit, someone preached me with the significance of having friends in life and the instants when & where only friends can assist in life, but my own sermons ruled over & henceforth friendship was mulled over as just another selfish trait where you receive kindness only because you revert in some or the other way. I only had one axiom in life “Never expect anything from anyone”, which in a way I follow till date, although with tad amendments.

But with the advent of time, I was persistently enforced by circumstances to acknowledge the truth of life, reckoning the fact that we are fractional without the support of friends. From helping out in the speck of things to doing the needful as it when necessary, they are the creatures on whom one can count upon any time. I surrendered to the fact but subsequently became more judicious in choosing my friends to shrink the effect of betrayal. But it made me learn one vital lesson in life which is not to get involve too much with everyone, that it becomes painful to overcome at time when you get hurt by the same person.

So now, I am fairly content with the friends I have (the ones with whom I had misunderstandings and fights before, but still are friends to the ones with whom the journey of friendship has so far been so smooth) and give a damn to those who transformed from friends to acquaintances.
Hence, maybe most of the civic would disagree, but I now think of making MANY good friends in spite of a single BEST FRIEND, so that when one hurts, you have many others to share your concern. Though I am cognizant that everyone occupies a unique place in heart but then, it can certainly help to diminish the tough feelings one go through after the trauma of perfidy.
