Chivalry Should Never Die

I got back today from the 2nd CCA sleepover. Tiring stuff...then again,when is it anything else but? Managed to catch some shut from about 430am to 7,an hour longer than in the previous sleepover.Couldn't say that for my teacher who did not sleep at all.

One more week of meetings and rehearsals to go.Might as well be a month.June 4.That's the date when all this will be over.

How would you feel if you knew someone that life had not been fair to? That person is no one special to you but you still feel for her and the bad thing is that you can't do anything to change that.That sucks cos all you can do is lament how unfair it is for that person.So what else can you do?

What I would do is just be a friend that helps a friend in need.The friend needs no pity or sympathy friends but real and sincere friends instead.That friend has no absolute disability but it does make yours truly feel real sucky when that friend suffers her bouts.To have to live with a condition for life is an impossible thing to ask of anyone.The fact that this condition is veiled and is tucked in with the normalcy of daily life makes it even more amazing than if it were to be seen for what it is by everyone.

It would be less fun but even when lending small,neglible favours to that friend,it would be best to do it with all of sincerity and as hard as it is,expect at the same time,to not receive recognition from others or even from that person receiving the favour.For those are the favours expected as a friend.

What you should find as the issue of utmost importance is that you do those favours with the fullness of your heart and again,sincerity is key.Doesn't matter if reward is nowhere in sight or you even seem to get 'pushed around'.If you think what you do is the right course of action then care not the conditions.

Difficult matter in this day and age and I would agree but even if we do it once in a while,it would be a fair thing.

The worst thing you could do is to evoke sympathy into that friendship and looking at the condition instead of the person and their own personal qualities.Be a friend to that person and do so without asking yourself whether that person would do the very same things for you.Do because you want to.

It is easy to mistake favours for hidden agenda but what this writer believes that if you believe in what you do with your heart then you should not be affected by what others say.

I'm not sure if readers would understand me or what exactly is the point of this post but lets just say that it is my personal view on a matter I've come across recently.
