Companionship, Fact or Fiction?

Originally written: June 6th 2009

During a study i manually constructed myself; I had found that I was not the only one who found that companionship is under-rated.
Now to clarify, companionship in this circumstance does not just limit itself to a traditional relationship; I am also taking from the friendship bowl as well.

A genuine and true person, the rare gems that seem to have long since been gone.
It seems as though everybody is searching for this priceless gem, in movies we always see the same beautiful scenario, a typically beautiful main character,male or female with one if not more, caring and considerate friends-whom no matter what go out of there way to either A) console the main character or B) celebrate some event, relevant or otherwise.

As for real life it’s entirely a different story, i suppose for a fictions story-movie the idea of “friends” is to beef up the conversations and add more substance and support to the main story line, if it’s a romance story; its quite embarrassingly painful to watch these impossible and unrealistic people going through some fantastic event.

Truly, this unattainable life is like waving a candy of sorts right in front of our very eyes; “come see the beautiful people in amazing relationships, loved by all far and wide.”
I ponder if this sort of scenario exists in real life, you know-the real world we do in fact live in.
The only comparison is those young beautiful people who die at young ages, through some terrible monstrosity, a parent shows several pictures of said young adult, and despite their age is spoken with such a high regard. “Loved by all, made such an incredible contribution to the world”

And by chance these beautiful creatures are remembered forever, what ever happens to those not so fortunate, alas I don't mean with death alone; I refer to those less blessed than others; less popularity, less impact and success, why is it we never hear about their story?
Has society become so far gone that even stories of horrific tragedies are based on superficiality?
The vanity of the world riding high and pretty – parallel to growing greed, meanwhile we are all programed to ignore it all.

The truth is real companionship is a myth, it no longer exists, all actions are done consciously or otherwise for the greater good of oneself. To our own advantage in a way.
Even being a savior, done for recognition and praise or even self gratification.
