Recently a few of my friends defected from rest of us. They rebelled saying that they do not want to be used anymore. They said that we had been using them, and they do not want to be treated that way anymore. They cited a series of exemplary events as evidence of their demand. They sounded like proletariat (have not's) and we were portrayed as aristocrat (have's). I found this kind of rivalry among siblings (well-off and not so well-off ones) before.
My views?
Although I proudly denied before, now I sadly agree that it is nearly impossible to carry on a sustainable friendship (and relationship, too?) among two persons from different economic classes.
My message to them and us: what is the essence of friendship left without the opportunities of using (to get help from) others and being used by (helping) them. After all a friend in need is a friend in deed. Isn't it so?
