Have you ever wondered why you feel more relax when you are with certain group of friends? Is there any certain group of friends you preferred more than another? Do your phone's last call list always have the same names appearing? Is there any single person's name that your outbox and inbox always show?

The truth is that we always have a certain group of friends or a single person that we love to hang out with. Ever think about the person beside you in the lecture hall always being the same person? Or in Church that you always sit beside only one person. Is that just a coincidence? It will not be so. We always have a group of friends we contact most and the one person we hope to be with.

But is he/she the true one? Or is it just a fever? That this person is just a substitute until the 'right' one appear? A personal experience to share about this. I used to have this friend whom I feel we are very close. But I am wrong. Now that he is with another friend, I can really see that he is more of himself. He slowly fades away from my life that I don't even know if I had ever known him. What I am saying is that how can we be sure that the person beside us all the time will stay forever.

Just like in church when we can always see one person who used to hang out with one group out of a sudden stop hanging out with that group and treats them like total stranger. Isn't them the group you used to treasure? Isn't the person your best friend? Well this goes to show that nothing last forever. The world is always changing. Nothing is for certain. Everything is as good as it last. So we might not know if the name on our last call or received list will still be there tomorrow. Or the name we have on our inbox and outbox will still appear after a week.

Well friends are only friends when you have a common topic. Like will you ever see a cop having a drink with a criminal? Birds of a feather flock together(if I spelled it correctly). But how long will this topic last? Even MOE changes their syllabus now and then and nothing is forever. Once a common topic is not there, there is no reason for two to be together. Like best friends can be substituted by another. That is why there is always a substitute in this world. Nothing is truely unique and special.

- Nothing last forever, neither friends nor foes.
