Talk about "camaraderie", it reminds me when I stepped inside a restaurant, a simple-vogue restaurant. Meanwhile, a classy-flossy poster in the corner of it captivated my eyes to. I walked to the corner, then I saw a quote:
"Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies." (Aristotle)Nothing to react, unless a lukewarm smiled. Let it be the preliminary of these.
"And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul." (I Samuel 18:1, KJV). As I said, friendship is the one making me conceive the efficacy of love that surpasses everything in this despicable world. "Love", frankly, I am still unable to explain it hitherto. Saint Augustine of Hippo said that "Love is the beauty of the soul". It is hard for me to expound the verse written.

Analogically, RELATIONSHIP is like a FIRE. It produces WARM; the INTIMACY of a relationship. For some reasons, fire will not exist without OXYGEN. It indicates the DISPUTE in a relationship; indeed, fire need oxygen supplies. However, if it is too much, the result is counterproductive; it means in a relationship, indeed, it needs dispute building the existence of fire. Meanwhile, if u could not manage the dispute, it will not build you anymore, yet it acts counterproductive (for the worst, implies dispersion).
Inevitably, fire produces the LIGHT. The beauty of light indicates the AFFECTION in your relationship; how profound your love is. Sometimes, when the oxygen supplies are too much, the light blinks. It means, in some cases, the disputes will affect the affections in your relationship. It is not a problem; a natural phenomenon.
Moreover, the most important is the MEDIA. Fire certainly will not exist without the media.Whether your relationship is built on DRIED LEAVES, which the fire is excessively huge, then it alters quickly to be nothing, or your relationship is built on CANDLE. Indeed the fire is not huge, stagnant, eminent. However, it will slowly be burnt, until the end of the candle's axis. Yeah, it is the end of the TIME entitled.
By and large, there are three types of obstacle in a relationship (Harris, 1969); 1) I am OK - You are not OK; expression of prejudice, ego-centristic, curiosity, judgmental, feels of self-righteous, 2) I am not OK - You are OK; expression of inferiority, unmet desires of mercy, envy, 3) I am not OK - You are not OK; expression of awry, apathetic, suicide (Susabda, 2009). According to my opinion, the best circumstance is "I am OK - You are OK". This circumstance appears when you well-recognize yourself and others. It can be generalized, recognition is one of the most significant thing in a relationship which can be built only by trustworthiness.
Second, about the relationship itself. I had three friends; 1) I treated him as my best friend, he did not, 2) He treated me as his best friend, I did not, and 3) I treat him as my best friend, he does. I used past tense for number one and two and present tense for number three no other than because my relationship with the "one" and "second" has been decay, but for the "third", we keep building our relationship hitherto, and we love each other. To generalize, camaraderie occurs when you both treat each other as the part of your life, then your soul knit together; that is the best relationship!
My tip is; love and appreciate your camaraderie. I have ever been forsaken, and it was very hurt. That grief was terrorizing me for about two months. It caused an unprecedented remorse. Unpredictably, after two years, my friend forgave me and we could restart our relationship. Alas, second chance is a grace, and not everyone could get that grace. Thanks for this awesome relationship, fellas.
Best regards,
Jerren
