Out of sight, out of mind?

Do you remember how many friends you have? Can you keep track of that? Anyway I know many of us thinks that we are not like that (out of sight, out of mind) but do you seriously remember them all? If yes try to list them all down according the category:-

1. Pre-school friends

2. Primary school friends

3. Secondary school friends

4. College friends

5. Ex-colleagues

6. Current colleagues

7. People known through business

8. People known through leisure

9. Friends of friends

10. Friends of relatives

11. Community service friends

12. Religious halls friend

13. Others

I know you may be able to break them down further but this is what I could do in 2 minutes. Anyway check out your facebook. From time to time you suddenly see a familiar face and add them to your friend list but do they remember you?

Since its been some time since we met someone, maybe they changed a lot. Remember the days when you were in schools? You have many friend doing something with you. You joke around, play around, skip school, visit them during festive season but now its been years since you last met them, could they remember you?

Over the years I had seen many changes. Some bad egg of the school turn out to be a very loving parent. Some of those very good boys turn out to be drinking and smoking in some bar or pub or worse in somewhere doing drugs. How are they now?

Recently one of my fellow colleague sent me an sms and I am extremely happy about it but I could not reply him. I was too busy with the S#*ts in the office. I am glad to receive his sms.

Now the thing is this, everyone is busy with something, what are the odds that you could gather all these friends together to update on each other’s news? What are the odds that all will turn up at the gathering? For this to happen, the odds are lower than hitting the big sweeps first prize + jackpot.

Seriously I miss the good old days. We were not appreciative then but now when you think back it’s a blessing. That the problem with people. When you have it, you don’t cherish it. Now that its gone you missed it. When you want to do something about it, its too late. HAHAHAH!- Humans…
