what exactly is support? how do you define support?
being there for a person? hugging a person before she goes for an audition? smile and tell a person that she can do it? and so the person happily goes for her audition or exam or whatever, only to find out later that she didn't make it. so what do you do now?
hug her and assure her that everything's going to be okay? or worse, tell her that the judges were a bunch of shitheads and her tears weren't worthy of them? that's not support. i deem that avoiding, or rather, running away. you brush aside the topic, pat her on the back and tell her everything's gonna be fine. and so she very naively nods her head and wipes her tears away. Only to find herself in crying herself to sleep that night in bed.
Some people do believe in that kind of support, and some do appreciate the silent support. But sometimes the tables are turned and the girl herself can't appreciate the silent support. Why? Because it's
silent. Ridiculous. They'll start bitching about how her friend didn't stand by her when she was feeling very "down". I label those ppl as narrow minded ah lians. So they classify that friend as unloyal. Tell me, that is 101% bullshit isn't it? I really can't stand it when some people can't differenciate between friends and well...
the not so friendly ones. Not that I don't make that mistake myself, I do, I admit, sometimes i'm just so blinded by my rage (or disappointment) that I don't see it. I don't see the support. So guys, i just hope that everyone can be a wee bit open minded, and cherish each friend who supports you.
Cheesy. Ha.
