People are always looking for validation, acceptance, and self-realization. To some extent, everyone wants to be special, to make history, to be a hero, to be remembered and respected. Jealousy, envy, vanity, ... this is just life, you can not expect anyone to like you, unfortunately, there will people who choose to destroy the things that they can not have instead of thinking of something bigger than the oneself.

However, I beg to differ on this point:

... atmosphere of acceptance and understanding.

A strong friendship, in my opinion, should be based on beliefs, convictions, noble values ​​and brotherhood / fraternity / sisterhood. The idea of acceptance and understanding casts out a lot of things that are supposed to be in a true friendship, they are both good concepts and could have a place within a strong friendship, but they do not constitute its core.

If I am not on the right path, if I am in my darkest moments, If I lost my mind and took bad decisions ... I want from my true friends to fight for me, and get me back with claws if they had to. I do not from them to go easy on me, I do not want them to accept and understand my irrational decisions, they are like my second family and they should protect me as I will do for them. Because even though we are sharing noble values and convictions, life can make a person take the wrong path. life is not fair, and true friends should be there to make it fairer again, not to make it worse.

Some people willingly choose to decline their convictions and values just to fit in, but this does not work in the long run, when life starts to kick in, one will usually find himself alone in that case, for the bonds of acceptance and understanding hardly go beyond the veneration of the oneself.

But at the end of the day ... memento mori ... one day everything will end, so live as you see fit, and always take decisions that you will not regret in the future. It is always better to be hated than to live in a prison of regrets all your life.
