taking people for granted

i take people for granted.
i'm not saying this in guilt or even in that tone.


though i hate it when people do it to me...
i suddenly realized that it isn't really that wrong afterall and just maybe, that's why everyone is doing it to their close friends.

which in contrary i feel... that close friends (close to a certain extent) should take each other for granted. isn't that why most of us do not have 'back up' when it comes to NEEDING a certain someone to be there for them when they need the person the most.

i saw an extremely brief portion of an indian film just now called flavour.
there was this part when two close friends of the opposite sex was having a serious conversation.
aparrently, the girl was getting married to another man . so she was talking about the person she was going to marry to her guy friend ( purely straight dude).

then the guy friend finally asked the girl ( after giving her his feedback on the other man the girl wanted to marry) " what will happen to me? " ... " you can't deny our relationship, we practically spend the day and night together everyday! "

the girl was like all " what are you talking about? " ... " what do you mean what will happen to you? " ... " i told you that i was going to marry the man already".

the guy replied " what does he have that i do not have that you would even want to marry him? " ... " i take you for granted!"...

so yah.. that's all i got. but i thought that it was selfish for the girl to walk away from the conversation -not dealing with the fact that her guy friend has no longer use in her life after she gets married in a more straight forward manner. that's " keeping the cake and eating it at the same time! "

taking someone for granted will lead to friends not appreciating one another.
not taking someone for granted shows the insignificance of a friend in one's life.

anyways, i spent one of my most memorable moon cake festival with my fellow cell members.
there was games, singing and a little too much food. Bloody haze has covered my full moon view. its gonna be a wicked weekend for me. productive one i'm sure. no choice really. so much assignment due... so little time.
