ENTROPY IN OUR RELATIONSHIP By Kenneth Chidera Eze

 There is something I realised we ignore but awesome if we do it, which I would like to share.

....................................................

Some of our friends celebrated birthdays or whatever good thing they celebrated, you didn't call, I didn't call. Why?

They never called before, yes, I get it but it's not a bad idea if you call them on their special day or send them something tangible if you have. No matter how small it might be.

Why am I saying this, social media as we think continue to stretch us apart from our friends even our closest of friends. We only post them on social media and say anything we like to. The idea is not bad, it's pretty beautiful.

I am not saying this in any way to get attention or influence people to call me, 😁 but it would be an awesome and invaluable thing to do. Yes they celebrate birthdays, that doesn't mean he or she is having the best of their lives. You can make their birth day beautiful by reminding them that they are loved and you care about them.

Come to think of it, if any of your friends dies, you would travel 20 to 1000 miles to come and give your condolences and say some sweet words about them. We need start celebrating life. In as much as we are busy, we can make that call.

It's not that we don't have this airtime or time, but we thought posting the person on our timelines or Whatsapp status would do justice to that. Oh! No. It wouldn't take more than 2 munites to make that call.

As for Social media, It makes us think we are close to our peers but afar. Well thanks to video calls either.

Hearing that voice is much more than a thousand post about that person.

I only want us to find meaning in what am saying. Am guilty of this, we all are.

Let me ask a question:

When you celebrated birthday,  how many of your Close friends called you? How many funnily sang Birthday songs for you?

The fact still remains that we are friends but no more close friends.

However, know that this in no way judges you or makes you and I bad friends. Only that it's not enough proof to show our solidarity of love and care we try or seem to have for any one we think we love.

Being a true close friend or acquaintance to someone is a choice not an obligation.

But if we say we do care or love our friends, we need to do something to show we care.

It's not only on Birthdays but it could be anytime.

Even if the person doesn't call, it doesn't matter. Many have saved souls that way (which is Calling).

Thanks for your patient reading this.

I love you all.
