Friendship- Something to cherish

In my previous post i had explained my situation about not being able to concentrate at work and having lost interest in actually attending office. 

However, i come to realize that it is not just me who undergoes such a turmoil. Many other souls like me undergo this phase of uncertainity, where what you want is never there and what you get is not what you want. The bigger problem for someone like me is the constant guilt that plagues me that i am not doing justice to the amount that i take home at the end of the month. 

How to get out of such a situation; where on one hand you feel you are underutilized but at the same time your superiors don't want to utilize you by moving you to some other group. Either they have bigger plans for you which they don't want to reveal, or they want to prevent their guy from losing him to some other manager. It is almost like manager treat their employees as their wealth and dont want to give it up to someone else. This makes me wonder if this is some kind of a power game which we quite often see in our parliament. Hey wait, don't we see this power game everywhere? 

I have seen this happen in my family, within my relatives, within communities, with religions and at almost every other place where more than one person is involved. Where i have failed to see this is among friends. When i say friends, i talk about those who are called "BusenFreund" in German, loosly translating to "BreastFriends". With friends you have this freedom to talk what you want, share what you like and be open; without having to worry about how this information might be used in another forum. You dont have to maintain the constant vigil trying to check your tongue, trying to see what other people around you are talking and also not keep guffawing when you don't really have to. 

Friendship is a beautiful thing, because it is demanding and at the same time rewarding. It is about giving and taking. It is more about the relationship, than about yourself. It is being able to curse your friend who calls you at 1.00 am and still the next day do what he asked you to do. 

I also therefore have come to conclusion that if everyone around you becomes your friend, then life will be at its colorful best. To make everybody around you your friend...The simplest way is to make the "assumption" that they are your friends. Yes, You read it right make the "assumption". It mayn't work, but this is the way i have thought of right now. 

The friends you make may later turn out to be your enemies...However , how to handle that is a different story altogether.
