Why complain that you cannot count on others? You imagine that, wherever you go, whatever you do, people will stay where you have left them and that at any given time you will find them at your disposal and in the same state of mind. Well no, for them like for you, everything moves, everything changes, everything transforms. So by all means, meet people, socialize with them, work with them, but do not rely on the stability of your relationship, because one day or another you will be forced to see that things are not going quite the way you had thought and hoped. You will say: 'But what should we do then?' Concern yourself with your own development, concentrate on strengthening yourself, enlightening yourself, because that is the only sure way to face up to all situations. If God has given you a few good and faithful friends, that is wonderful. Thank Him for it, but never abandon the living spark within you, thinking you can put all your faith in others, because some day you will suffer. Never forget that change is the law of life.
