The End with Friend
If you caught your friend robbing a liquor store and your friend then turned around and relentlessly accused you of being a thief, what would you do? Say, as a matter of principle, you have never stolen anything and would never steal anything in a million years… Let’s further go on to say that no matter what you tried to say, the only response from your friend was to accuse YOU of being a THIEF. No matter what you said, their only reply was to accuse you of being a thief… How could such a situation be handled? To continue and drag it out, let’s say you continued to ask your friend to Please STOP calling you a thief, but your friend would not STOP. And for 24 hours you were accused of being a thief because you caught them robbing a liquor store. What do you think would happen? Here you are having never stolen anything before in your life and this “friend” keeps calling you a thief. This is an example of “adding insult to injury” and it was already bad enough. Would you continue being “friends” with this person? After they stole from you, they then robbed a liquor store and you caught them red-handed, so tell me, WHO is the thief? WHO is the thief here? You? Or your friend? Oh, the friend accused you of stealing their heart and that was the justification for accusing you of being a THIEF. But, it was never brought up to you before you caught them in the act of robbing both you and a liquor store. Only when your friend was caught did they find it to be convenient to now accuse you of being a thief for stealing their heart.
Tell me, who is the thief here?
The friend shows no remorse. Even though you had not done wrong, you still stopped to talk to friend about how you did NOT steal friend’s heart. But all friend did was turn around and call you a THIEF After you caught friend stealing from you and then robbing a liquor store, you felt betrayed. And you had every right to feel that way because YOU’D been wronged. But, after being accused of being a thief so many times when you had been the one who got robbed you decided to throw in the towel because ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. You were not sorry to see friend go. You were rather happy. Clearly, this kind of friendship was not going to work out, and this was not the kind of person you wanted to call your friend. You can only be so nice for so long. You needed no explanation as to why you were robbed by your friend. You know it would only hurt you to hear WHY your friend stole from you. Furthermore, you did not even WANT to know and honestly felt that it would be in your best interest NOT to find out. Being the person of good virtue that you are, there was no need for an explanation. The best thing for friend to do would be to separate themself from your life as quickly as possible and cease any further communication with you, as far as you were concerned. Maybe the things they robbed from you, they needed more than you did- though, you only wished friend would have asked… friend didn’t need to rob or steal from you. You would have gladly given to friend whatever it was that friend needed. But even the unreciprocated generosity would get old. And let’s face it. Friend had just told you the day before that friend would not steal again. The very next day, you caught friend robbing a liquor store. Now you knew you could never trust friend again. You did not know what or who friend would rob next. You did not want to know. You didn’t want to find out. The incidences kept getting worse each time. Every time friend assured you that friend would not rob or steal again, friend did worse the next time. After being called a thief for friend’s robberies, you knew it would not work out. You hoped that friend did not do this again to you or anybody else. Needless to say, and to point out the obvious. Things just didn’t work out with friend. That was one take on it anyway.
