It was spring; what is not to like about it and what more could you ask for? The bee lived with his mates and found spring very encouraging to travel to unknown land and discover new flowers; there was one thing Boris the bee did not like- being alone. He was gregarious and always wanted other bees around him, showing off his new crib and trying to make other bees identify with his desire of being so.
One day Boris the bee and his friends decided to visit the nearby forest to look up new spring flowers. The plan was to meet at one of the mates’ place and start flying in a group as the forest was a good few miles away. The date and time was set and all the bees agreed on the timelines. Boris the bee managed to get to his mates’ place on time to find that his mate had gone out for a quickie with a few others and left a message that they would soon be back to collect Boris the bee and had left the drone of the crib to take care of him.
Boris the bee was upset about the change in plans; more than the plan he was upset that his mates had left him waiting – how often have one of us felt the same as Boris? Do we really take our friends for granted? We do feel that we know someone inside out and decide to take liberties with the formality and attitude; how long should you know a person in order to relax on the formal attitude?
What should be your attitude towards your friends? I can never be formal with my best mates and it’s the same with the person I am in relationship with but when it comes to good friends do they still expect me to be formal in behaviour? Does it depend on circumstances or the occasion you are meeting them for? I physically and mentally live at Ponders end always with my thinking cap on – what amount of formality would you maintain with your good friends!!!
