I always try to think what brought everyone together. Was there something in the water that brought us all together? I'm not sure or was it community that we all strived for in some form whether we want to or not.
The reality is whether we congregated together from diapers onto the athletic field no one knows for sure or from that great well water. Does it really matter I don't think so. We all grew up in very good families with a a very workmanlike attitude towards life. You get what your work for and you roll with it when the knock of life give you some bumps on the road.
I don't know how many people grew up and said I will be a Dr. or Teacher or a Coach. Instead I think we grew up with the desire to be friends and be very active in the community with our friends. Sure that sounds Doris Day or Leave it to Beaver but the fact is I believe we all grew up in an environment where we were very social and active. Now again this varies to where you grew up and I don't to just isolate one place. But I believe the fact remains we wanted to get out and play, compete and be very social. Now that is not today's world but you know what we are playing in todays world of blogs, social media, facebook, myspace, youtube etc..So we are part of this generation which is cool and enlightening. However let's keep it in check and balance it from where we came from. Do you remember picking up the phone and calling your friends? I don't really I just went over and said let's go or they just knew where to meet. There was the f2f communication and discussions which were great.
I only remember the telephone being used when you didn't have the guts to make a personal contact with a girl you wanted to date. Plus come on how many times would you need to practice to make that call. Enough digression on the dating game for everyone as I'm sure that is worth many pages of discussions.
In my case the volga river was the water. It was dark and cloudy on a good day, but my friendships were as clear as the sea around the coral reefs.
I used water, maybe a bad example but you know what we all drank the same kool-aid and believed in the same life of friendship. We knew the future would work out. We were not concerned about it. Maybe someone would be a Dr., Lawyer, Factory worker, Farmer, or business owner. We didn't know and we didn't care because we cared about the person. The chemicals of the human body are x amount of water. We require water to survive, yet we all think the water supply will never end. Oh sure were all getting more green and ecofriendly. But you really think about it how much of the life supply chain if filtered thru water.
I'm not asking you to conserve water, I'm only indicating the value of water to our well being. I'm also trying to in a weak attempt to make people understand we are comprised of many of t he same properties of water.
We should not forget that and we should remember that all of lives interactions from life to death involve water.
How does this relate to our friends and our growing up? We were all drinking the same water? Do you understand? We have been doing it since birth. You may think you have changed during this time but the water that we all drank did not.
We are friends and we share commonalities because we shared the water of our lives. Now have we changed yes, and do we need to move forward yes again. But you know what wouldn't it be nice to have a glass of water with some old friends?
