creaming time, money and friendship

EVER wonder how time act against us all the time. Society complains 24 hours is not enough and wished for at least 48 hours in a day. Yet people still have time to get married, make love and create wars.
Ever wondered what friends were like during school days? They were always around, hanging on to each other, going through thick and thin while gaining experience. Every child, no matter of what generation, enjoyed their time in school. Yet it’s never the same upon adulthood and it gets worse each time the calendar pasts a decade.
Time and friendship go hand in hand. Making time for friends is essential in keeping the bond going. However, some claim while the closeness or perhaps ‘love’ may still be there, in reality there is nothing in common thus there is no need to sustain the relationship. So are school friends or even childhood friends suppose to die off over strangers known in a couple of months, days or even seconds?
Nevertheless, this is how society has decided, as to how men are suppose to have short hair (hint; North Korea still practices a strict crew-cut policy over its male citizens) and ladies are to keep locks. Society has also seem to have decided white is the colour of pureness and black is the colour of darkness, and that up is the guidance of the Lord while the earth beneath is filled with the cruelty of the Devil upon its subjects.
Some claim once leaving a certain circle, there would be nothing 'to talk about'. True or false? True in the sense, but then again should it be left as an excuse? A rather lame excuse as such an obstacle can be overcome by paying more interest. There is no point in asking for the sake of asking, and not listening to the reply. There is no point in commenting without knowing what has transpired earlier.
So does society also seem to forget childhood friends and in fact family? Money is the root to all evil, and its fangs are shown here. And how you may ask money is related to the subject of time and friends? Simple- time is money and friends waste money. Period.
Are we all enveloped in a society which strives to gain money as a sign of authority, arrogance or it’s just what society wants? Or is it due to necessity? Who draws the line between drilled into the money making fraternity and the time to take a break from it all and enjoyed what the past once gave us?
All said and done, society in general are fated to suffer a disease called ‘friendless’. It has already ‘attacked’ some of us, and very soon all of us will die the same way. Is friendship and time really important? Alone they are nothing, but together they mean something. Spending time with friends will ensure a more fulfilling future, instead of walking down the old age path alone. No man is an island.
