True, a group may cause delays but it will never stop one with a purpose. It is not society that causes me to lose faith in my purpose. I assume full responsibility for me. My friends are not in charge. Regardless of the love I bear for them, they can not cause me to do other than my heart dictates.
True friendship is built upon equality, sharing of bonds.
I no longer have a friend, merely a salaried companion. I assume full responsibility for me. Circumstances never make the man, they just reveal him to himself. They don't rule. They're but a scape goat, an immense recipient for all the blame I want to pass to someone else.
