Greetings good citizen, a wise man once said 'There is no such thing as strangers, they are just friends that we haven't met yet! Considering the world stage and the GWOT [Global war on terror in case you forgot what the acronym represents] it is apparent that not all friendships 'bear fruit'.
Our unidentified sage was probably the same guy who opined 'In order to have a friend you must first BE a friend'
While we all point (and laugh) at Preznint Pussygrabber as being our most 'friendless' [as well as clueless] nominal leader, the lesson learned here is people raised in a void [even one of their own making] are ignorant of the 'dynamics of friendship.'
The tragedy here is he remains clueless that he is friendless because he has probably never known friendship or what it means to be there for somebody.
Again, we time travel back to the campaign, not one pundit [even Karl Rove's twisted stand in, Steve Bannon] put forth the false idea that 'The Donald' [what he called himself before he dubbed himself 'Pussygrabber in Chief'] was the kind of guy you'd enjoy sitting down and having a beer with.
Ironic that both The Donald and W. share the 'empty suit' affliction. Is that the quality our overlords have decided best fit for the manappointed, er, elected to the office of Leader of the Free World? Both D & W also share their gratitude towards the Electoral College for their victories as neither won the 'popular vote'.
So much for Democracy, eh?
One would almost think the elections were 'fixed'...
Not that there is anything anybody could do about it [legally.]
[Herein we see the danger of being clueless when it comes to the 'dynamics of friendship'. Neither of these clueless morons knew what a friend was so they didn't question their 'appointments' or their marching orders [which they were advised was one of 'the conditions' of their ongoing 'friendship'.]
Of course, once the die was cast the ruse was probably dropped. Both were likely told where the bear shit, they'd do as they were told if they wanted to live.
But the obvious cluelessness regarding the dynamics of friendship is a trait shared by all presidents elected since LBJ.
They were all 'stupid enough' to want the Presidency [at least initially] and once 'anointed' it was too late to back out.
Should you work up the courage to defy them you'd be given a state funeral, courtesy of a 'grateful nation'. Naturally, after leaving office you 'enjoy' Secret Service protection for the rest of your 'natural' days. How this differs from 'house arrest' isn't easy to quantify. Sure you can go wherever you like but 'security' has to clear your 'requests'.
Um, since there will always be the 'danger' of somebody you made an enemy out of in office will come calling, all visitors must first be 'vetted' as well.
These 'friendless' types probably don't have 'friends' come calling [not that there aren't sycophants that nurture/exploit their old political contacts for everything they are worth! (again the clueless who brag they are 'friends of the president' despite them no longer being in office.) is another reason why the pool of candidates for the highest office in the land is dominated by the elderly, whose list of 'friends' has shortened considerably.
Yeah, F. Scoot Fitzgerald spoke true when he wrote, "The rich aren't like you or me." Friendship is meaningless to them and they shamelessly exploit one another without a second thought.
When you're counting your blessing this December 31st, count those who have stood by you as your most precious blessings because one true friendship is more valuable than all of this world's riches, [and ten times the fools that covet them!]
In this respect I am a wealthy man because I count many of you as 'true friends'. I expect none of you to 'die' for me although some of you would risk life and limb for me, as I would for all of you!
To have a friend, one must be a friend. If you didn't turn to me in your hour of need I understand, I'm not your only friend and solace is in the eyes of the beholder. That does not dim the bond of friendship, in fact it makes it stronger for the first part of being a friend is UNDERSTANDING (and supporting) your friend's decisions.
While many of us have drifted apart over the years, our 'friendship' remains as strong as the last time we met.
I hold you all precious in my heart and that is more than any one man can want.
Thanks for being my friend,
