The destruction of a friendship is painful, regardless of who you are. The reasons are varied; from broken trusts, differences of opinion, or just outright deception. Once the separation -regardless of how amicable -is painful and can be made even more so when one of the parties (if not both) go into self-preservation/defense mode (and in some cases, a good defense is a strong and often deceptive offense -as I/we have heard).
It is usually around this time in my postings that I go into a related story that I am experiencing at the moment. However, this case is different. The people who think this is about them can take a deep breath -I haven't exposed any unknown information. The last exchange was like when one is stung by an annoying horsefly, one flinches -a natural reaction. This issue is dead. But I will add a word of caution:
Leave the sleeping dog alone. 'Cause every time you try to wake it, you'll get bit.
I have also been told to never get into an argument with an idiot. Once you do, no one will be able to tell the difference. I am not lowering myself to that level.
On a final note, lying is not a valued character trait. So stop. People know the truth.
