A day with a friend

When I was thinking to the months past and the posts I published, I found that the age of my web log is something about 10 months. When I met my friend after the last time I was with him and his family in Toronto, it took almost the same age of my web log. I was supposed to stay in another friend’s flat, but after first visit of him I had become their guest for more than one week, occupied his lovely daughter’s room and his son taught me how to create my own web log The Life. They treat we such a member of their family.
After my trip back right now, I didn't have the opportunity to appreciate their kind hospitality as they deserve or as it should be.
Last January; when they came to Tehran I didn’t have a good treatment at all. That period, due to some office problems I was too busy, short of time and tired as well. So, when I called to his cellular to fix the date, they had been already gone! Afterwards I was looking for somebody to condemn! I blamed myself for my wrong behavior and keep it in mind that friendship can not accept any excuse when there is a fault. In this case the only way is looking for an opportunity to accept the mistake and apologize. It would be forgotten for sure, if there is no bad impression left in mind.
After 10 months, when I met him I forgot his absence in Iran, I recalled all the memories we had here, not in Canada. It seems like yesterday and when we were sitting near by, face to face talking about different subjects; I didn’t feel 10 months gap. In the contrary, I was still getting back to some more years ago with the same feeling of that period but suddenly some of his white hairs reminded me where I am. It happens when you have missed a friend and you didn’t know how much!!
The subject as usual, was business here and there, our life, family and friends. Then we have shifted to human relationship especially between friends and relatives, their interests and their problems. In fact, there are a lot of people facing finance problems all over the world and among of them, perhaps 10, 20 or 50 are some how in relation with us. At least we can understand their problems.
So, if we are so lucky that we can make some of them happy with giving a hand in a certain way, why don’t we take the opportunity to understand the role, we have been given! In Iran we say if you make one Rial for somebody who needs, god will grant you 10 times more. A man with a good finance position may earn more money in this way too! For a business man fans are too important, even though in a small society around him.
In our conclusion, we reached to the point that as much as we can, we have to be a hand for those around us, who need a support to solve their problems. Although sometimes it may create some misunderstanding but at the end they will notice that there was a good heart with a good intention. The support would be back to us, by smile by heart by all means.
