Friends and Wisdom from it all

Friends

I never did understand why we gain friends and lose friends. Why sometimes the best things in life end up being the worst things in life. Even why bad things happen to good people. There is so many questions I want to ask friends I have lost, family that have past away, or even loved ones whom are no longer loved. Like what happened, or if I could change anything that would make a difference what would it be?

While everyone reminds me that given time life will change its hard to believe. Yet when I reflect on all that has happened in my life I seem to always come back to one conclusion. Even though I have been through many tough situations there has always been someone there to help. Even though I have lost a lot and made many mistakes (Yes I am human after all) I have also gained a lot. I have gained knowledge and something recently made obvious to me I have gained wisdom. You see everything I have been through all the mistakes and all the achievements. I have gained experience that I can share with others, things such as in relationships sometimes the best thing is time. And in life things will change, just keep moving forward and life will get better. These things I have learned not from someone else but from my own mistakes. achievements and life experience.

Yet almost all this the best wisdom is not the wisdom I can give others nor the wisdom others gives me but the wisdom that only God has and can give if we only listen. Years down the road I hope to be able to look back and share my experiences with my children hoping that they will not make the same mistakes I did and will learn from my own wisdom. I also hope that those reading this will think twice about what elders tell you. Sometimes the best source of advice comes from those that have been there.
