The Older The Less Friends

When we studied in school, we had many schoolmates and after graduation those mates become friends. Such friendship is pure and even lasting and mostly it will last many many years, even to the end of their life. Therefore, many students after graduation will form an association of old school mates and get tougher occasionally to renew their old sentiments which they appreciate in their old school days.
But, once you get into society, you will meet new friends, which friendship is basically shallow and not sincere to each other. Especially in business, your friendships can only be built when you need each other’s help in business. Once the benefit of business is gone, you become strangers. It is quite cruel, but it is realistic in society.
When you are over fifty you will not have much desire to make new friends. Only say “hello” in the most occasions. When you are in old age, you shall have no new friends. Besides, your old friends are getting less and less. Some died and some keep themselves at home, declining to see any one due to lack of energy.
