The Circle of Friends
Friends, which encompasses members of our family, are the most precious assests that any person can ever poccess, are the basis from which we draw our drive in existance. Each person, to which we give the title ‘friend’, holds an equal value in the intrinsic aspects of our lives; as it is that each friend fills out their separate role in our lives, without those roles filled then our course of existance would follow a skewd direction. These roles, which friends play in our lives, create a pattern which balances most directly our social lives.
What follows from here on out, is part of, what should eventually become, a multipart discussion of some of the crazy things that run through my mind while I am staring out the window of an airplane or when my eyes appear to have glazed over and my face seems to of become a victem of botox. Anyhow, this post is not neccessarily the begin, if one where to consider the chronology of all this, as it is not always in one’s best interest to begin at the begining. Although, it may truely exist at the begining, but then again the start of something is best understood when looked at from the ending.
To get to the point, the concept is quite simple: the social structure of our lives is relativley symetrical throughout time, thus explaining why those who we once held so closely in our lives, eventually become distant, in spite of our continued focus on these people (although this may sound depressing, it is actually a fine sign of personal evolution and individualism).
The geometric design by which our social structure developes around is much like a twin-conical surface, of which the bases of the two cones touch each other (figure 1). Life is not always as symetrical as the figure that i have offered for visual reference: lives can end tragically, thus cutting off the remainder of what would be the surface, some develop individualism much later or earlier in life than others, resulting in the center of our surface being skewd in the appropriate dirrection.
Before we forge on anymore than we already have, it would be a bit useful to define what exactly is meant in reference to a ‘friend’. ‘Friend’ and ‘aquantance’ are two words that are often misused in context. An ‘aquantance’ is a person of whom you may know (even on a rather personal level) and even see quite frequently, but in the grand scope of things, you have never progressed beyond the limits of casual conversation (aka small talk). In other words you know how this person is doing, but not how they are feeling or you know who they voted for, but not why, and so on. Friends, on the other hand, are those people to whom you not only speak your thoughts and express your emotions, but whom you truely listen to with total compassion. Friends are people which whom every topic of conversation has been already discussed, and if such is not the case it is only because time has not permitted such from occuring to date.
Now, with that all aside, let us continue…
At the dawn of our lives we begin with a volume of friends that can fill only the most minimal of spaces, after all you can only spout out so many words to those around while you are sucking on the umbilical cord (this starting point can be seen as point A in figure 1). ‘A’ is the only point within our surface that contains all existance at its designated moment in time, as this is the only undeniable point that we will encounter as we explore the double-cone surface, and those which fill this space are those resposible for bringing us into this world, our care-givers. From this we begin to see the pattern that will soon become more clear within our surface, as our single being joins two other entities in this Circle of Friends, as noted in figure 2.
Even with a single iteration taking place we can already see the pattern gorw.
As time progresses, and more iterations take place, we begin to see more clearly the pattern at hand. The next stage in this social structure is the art of networking. Our care-givers network us with other babies through friends of their own, daycares, parks, etc., and we begin to attract more and more friends, and so our circle grows larger and larger.
This action continues on and on (mostly because we do not privatize our relationships at this stange in life) until we reach our social peak. Now a social peak can begin as a result of many things: for some the task of bearing a population of friends the size of Rhode Island just grows too great, some people relocate and loose friends, and so on, but in the end all reasons for making the circle more selective it individualism. For most this time of individualizing one’s own self begins to take its most heavey dictation around the mid-twenties (the usual age at which personalities are most well developed due to occupations, higher education, or some sort of independent separation).
It now may be asked as to why the process does not continue on from here on out in a cylendar surface; the reasoning behind the second cone lies mostly in the digression of life. As we grow older we began to settle our habbits and cease to venture beyond our warm confines, and so we are not able to obtain new friends, nor create new experiences with old friends. Much becuase of this complacentcy we grow more comfortable with regular conversation and do not seek out more in our friends. From this we begin to loose our personal connection with some friends as we grow distant from their emotions, thoughts, and expressions.
It also occurs that, as we grow older, we find our time more focused on entertainment, jobs and other activities, rather than devoting our spare time to those around us. And so, our social structure begins to calapse upon itself as in figure 4.
