People change, and friendships do not always survive. I recently began playing cards with my best friends from high school. It's fun, but any attempt to bring back the good old days would be a mistake. None of us is the same as we were then, so our friendships really need to be started over again. But, after so much time, we have little in common, and there is no point. We settle for being friendly. Does that make sense? It is more logical to try to make new friends than to dig up the old ones.
