They say words are cheap but I beg to differ and say: "Words are free and that's why your claim about our friendship is just but a trifling rhetoric without any commitment whatsoever"
Having declared myself a free person from your ingenuine friendship where you have been using me for your selfish gain whenever an opportunity is at hand, I want to be so candid to you and to everyone else who perceive me as his or her friend because of the benefit (s) he or she derives from our friendship; You too are not my friend whatsoever. True friendship is founded on mutualism and reciprocity not on individualism and selflessness.
My honest declaration that you're not my friend is not out of pride or a sense of superiority complex, it's just a fulfilling sense of self-awareness to the fact that I have outgrown your friendship and you're no longer adding value to my life. If anything, you've turned our friendship from mutualism into parasitism.
While it's inarguably true that friendship is a value addition zone, it's likewise true that you're an average of the five people you associate with. The fact that you can no longer challenge my thoughts means you've knowingly or unknowingly settled in mediocrity. Regrettably, you're on your own because I am not willing to follow suit. Your stagnation in a comfort zone where growth is impossible is an irrefutable evidence that you can no longer add value to my life hence my immutable decision to eschew our friendship.
Friendship is the greatest social capital not necessarily in terms of financial benefits but also on constructive criticism, you will never ever add value in someone's life if you keep telling them want they want to hear instead of what they need to hear with no exception whatsoever.
Now that my eagle mentality must soar on a high altitude, it's inarguably true that it can't correlate with a chicken mentality lest I stagnate in mediocrity and fail to achieve my exceptional goals in life.
Although not obliged, in matters friendship, giving you closure is not only a respectable thing to do, it's also a humane way of terminating friendship since it eliminates hatred as a factor of friendship dissolution.
As I pen my closure to our friendship, I hope you'll understand that: A person's network determines his or her net-worth, (not necessarily on monetary matters but also on personal productivity) and thus my honesty about my decision to renounce our friendship will save you from any agony, postulation or gossip of any kind.
My decision to repudiate from our friendship is an inference following our friendship inventory which has times without number proven beyond a reasonable doubt that our friendship has ceased to add me any value and thus my decision to shut off from unprofitable friendship.
Having set the records straight, the next time you reach out and fail to get my response promptly, you'll have yourself to blame.
