Friend: Take Two

Yes. I have done a bit of a re-think on the whole "friend" idea. Our default mode should be: "Everyone is My Friend." Until proven otherwise. We are also all related, don't you know? Remember "Mitochondrial Eve?" : "In human genetics, the Mitochondrial Eve (also mt-Eve, mt-MRCA) is the matrilineal most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of all living humans. In other words, she is defined as the most recent woman from whom all living humans descend in an unbroken line purely through their mothers and through the mothers of those mothers, back until all lines converge on one woman."

"We are family." 

Think of the Human family as a vast, a globe-wide-spanning tree, with uncounted branches and leaves. All those branches sprout from the same trunk, all those leaves sprout from different branches. We all our children & descendants from the same roots.

That should be the Default Mode. Friends & Family. Some of us are best friends. Some of us are a bit estranged. Some relationships are free and easy, some are hard and difficult.  Also some friends are really our enemies, and  you must not forget your nemesis, who is lurking in the shadows waiting to pounce! Human Beings are tricky!
