Reasons Some Friendships End
C.S. Lewis, Christian apologist and Irish novelist best known for The Chronicles of Narnia, once said: “Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.” Friendship is a relationship borne out of choice as opposed to one that comes naturally with one’s birth (i.e., kinship) and it has become quite prevalent in today’s society to equate the fullness of life to the number of friends. Built on commonality, communications, and confidence in each other, a healthy comradeship brings beauty to one’s existence. However, the loss of any of these building blocks can become the reason for the regrettable ending of friendship.
