What causes a friendship to break apart?

Relationship is one of the most complex but indispensible factor in human life. Man is a social-being and cannot live alone. Yet, great amount of effort and time has to be put into it in order to retain the relationship. Without it, any relationship can easily break apart due to various reasons. In the case friendship, constant meeting in person and consideration are two common elements that separate friendship.

Frequency in contact and meetings contribute to increasing closeness. When friends meet together, they talk about events and people in their lives with vivid elaboration and expression. These effects make the atmosphere and story much more interesting which can never be shown through written words. Besides, the pleasant atmosphere can have people to confide in their secrets or worries. Once this happens, people feel more connected and close.  However, majorities live far apart from their friends and some are even out in the broad, which increases the use of kaka talk and SNS. These are commonly used in modern society and are especially necessary in the international era. Yet, Letters have limits and cannot deliver sufficient amount of message and intention to another. This can lead to repetitive content of conversation and lack of things to say when continued for a while. Even if two people used to be best friends during their student years, seeing each other after months of SNS contacting can be awkward and uncomfortable. That is why fewer and fewer friends are left as people age in busy modern society.

   It is a natural notion to behave well and concern to one's loved ones but not a lot of people happen to be like that. When people usually meet someone for the first time, majorities try to be polite and fair to give good image. Then they become friends and get closer and closer as they continue to find similarities, eventually becoming best friends. At that point, some continue to treat each other respectively and some start to treat another poorly. The latter case occurs because one has the idea that their friend will understand one's behavior and reduce the amount of effort one had put into enforcing relationship. There would be problem if two are not very sensitive about those changes but the conflict forms when one continues to concern about the other without a change with anther displaying the former tendency.

   Friendship is not eternal and must always be put in care. People have to try to see their friends more often regardless of their fierce career life and try to not forget to cherish and respect friends at all times. It is not an easy thing and can be bothersome at some point, but nothing can be earned without considerate endeavor and effort.

  2. Supports for your opinion is stong and clear.
    You gave specific explanation, which makes great readability.
    My only concern is it would be more perfect if you use specific examples from your experience or from people around you.
    Also you've omitted 'o' and wrote like "kaka talk," which isn't really important but you might miss that out.
