Strange Friend

STRANGE FRIEND I had a friend both on Facebook and meeting him in person he often sent me words of wisdom said by a famous person, about loyalty and honesty, I often find these saying rather banal and self-evident. His dream was to be rich and have a big car, but like me, we didn´t have the talent other than buying a lottery ticket. I think he was selling things and made a modest living, I tried to write and was equally unsuccessful, but we tried in our clumsy way to find a road forward. I often thought he didn´t really like me that much he was, I think jealous of my relaxed attitude to life`s strange ways And the disinterest in money. I think he found me arrogant for calling a spade a spade, people do not take the truth lightly, do I? Suddenly he unfriended me on Facebook and declared he didn´t want to see me again. This tiding was pleasant I no longer had to pretend he was boring and his range of conversations limited. I have lost a few “friends” on Facebook, but it means very little perhaps I should tone it down a little, be all friendly, that will be the day
