Friend?

Received a call from my long lost friend yesterday. I was unable to contact this friend of mine when all her contactable numbers were disconnected. Anyway was happy that she contacted me.

She is aware of the demise of my father and I thought she is expressing her condolences. But what a joke, she is selling a ‘get rich’ plan! It is okay to do business, but where is the spirit of friendship? Since we knew each other since secondary school, why can’t she give me a call during my recent bereavement? Lost my number? My number is obtainable from the rest of our friends. She called again this afternoon and is persistent to meet me. She knew that I will be busy this whole week as I need to make preparation for my trip to Europe.

Money matter is more important than friendship nowadays. Gone are the days when the value of friendship is priceless.
