I regard you as the only one, and you regard me as one of them

There are two monks living in temples on two mountains respectively. At the same time every day, they go down the mountain to the stream. While carrying water, they became good friends over time.

Time passed day by day, and suddenly one day, one monk did not go down the mountain to carry water. The other monk thought to himself: "He probably overslept." He didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, he still didn't go down to fetch water on the second day, and the same on the third day.

The monk thought that my friend might be sick and I wanted to see him.

So he climbed up the mountain carrying water to visit his good friend. When he arrived at the temple, he saw his old friend chatting happily with others. He didn't look like a person without water at all.

The monk asked him: "You haven't gone down the mountain to carry water for several days. I thought you were sick."

The monk said: "Come on, come on, I will take you there." Look."

The two walked to the backyard, and he pointed to a well and said:

"Actually, after I finish my homework, I will find time to dig this well every day, even if I am very busy sometimes. I can dig as much as I can. Now that I have finally dug out the well water, I no longer have to go down the mountain to fetch water. I can have more time to make friends."

How can people do this?

You obviously agreed to carry water together, but you secretly dug a well. I was still worried about your safety, but you didn't feel any pain, and even forgot that I existed.

When we met, you had ten thousand and I had one; when we were separated, you were left with hundreds and I was zero.

How do good friends gradually become ordinary friends?

Maybe it’s because I always remember your kindness and everything about you, but you slowly forget about me. You have a new circle, but I am still where I am.

It is difficult for people of different social classes to make friends

We have studied Lu Xun’s "Hometown" before, and there is a passage in it——

I was very excited at this time, but I didn’t know what to say. I just said: "Ah! Brother Runtu, are you here?" Then I had many words that I wanted to say in succession: Jiaoji, Jumping fish, shells, turtles...but it always felt like it was blocked by something, just spinning in my head and unable to spit it out. He stopped. There was a look of joy and sadness on his face, his lips moved but he made no sound. His attitude finally became respectful, and he shouted clearly: "Master!" I seemed to shudder: I knew that there was already a tragically thick barrier between us. At that time, I didn’t understand why the rare meeting between two good friends made it so sad.

When I grow up, I gradually understand that it is too difficult to have a lifelong friendship. Not only do each other need to always put the other person first, but also each other's three views and vision need to be consistent.

Friendship

The so-called growing up means that we will find that there are fewer and fewer friends left around us. Real friendship seems to exist in the student days and fade out of the general life circle. . There is a kind of sadness in life, that is, old friends are not old friends in the end. Evidence of a broken friendship. Maybe it's because in this friendship, both parties were too unscrupulous and didn't make any efforts to continue the relationship. In August, Chang'an said that most friendships in the world end without a problem. I hope your friendship can have a beginning and an end. If you don't have the chance to reach the end, don't feel resentful. After all, no one belongs to anyone.
